Holland 2005... Nigeria lost to Argentina in d final...
David Silva(19), Fernando Llorente(20) and Cesc Fabregas(18), Lionel Messi(17), Pablo Zabaleta(20), Sergio Aguero(17), Falcao(19) and even David Ospina(16) all represented their countries then and are still very much active till date both in their clubs and countries... Abeg how many of Taiwo(20), Owoeri(18), Sani kaita(19), Sambo(19), Ogbuke(18) or Isaac promise(17) went on to play atleast 3yrs of active football afta dat tournament or still plays now. Funny enough, Our 2nd goalkeeper now Akpeyi, claimed he was 18 then... For most of U who would rather think with there hands and asses than with their heads, d point I'm trying to make is our players dont last becos dey are always falsifying their ages. Age eventually catches up with dem and dey fade away into oblivion jus wen dey are supposed to b at their peak... Does anyone here remember Macaulay Chrisantus??

Why is David Silva and Cesc Fabregas on your team list for Argentina? Thought they were Spaniards? Perhaps they changed nationality? Am somewhat confused
Or was it a typo on your part?

Oops!! I missed the part where you typed "represented their countries" my bad.

aonag:


chrisantus is the biggest scam in nigeria football. his matter baffles me night and day

He didn't even cut it in d youth team of Hamburg and for 4yrs he didn't play a single minute of football between 2008 and 2012... Nd some morons want to argue rubbish

philGeo:
George weah, Samuel eto'o make it easy.

You have no idea what they went through...

I agreed with all your comments so far on this thread but that "messi is over rated" aspect can make you fail any form of interviews in the future,I advice you to look into it and examine yourself.





MESSI IS NOT OVERRATED UNLESS YOU ARE A MANCHESTER UNITED FAN.

I agree he's not overrated but the way they make him out to be like some kind of a god...

Mariangeles:
He did great considering he's a black man...blacks don't have it easy out there you know...

Drogba, Kanu, Yaya (even if pep don sempe am, old age don come), Eto,o, even JayJay Wey no play for big club, blew up. Mikel kwa.

pweshdodo:

The question is; where is he now?

After almost 4yrs of treating an injury that kept him out of action in Schalke 2014, he is playing again, he played in China till Early 2014 and finally returning to AIK.
He was always injury prone

Mariangeles:
I agree he's not overrated but the way make out to be like some kind of a god...

Messi is exceptionally good, but considering the things Ronaldinho did right from his youth when nobody discovered him until age 25 when he came to Barca, make us know That, in a way, messi is overated but the boy also is good.

That is false...as much as they get to reduce there age, if you know clearly and see football the way it is you will know the tempo doesnt favour african players...the transfer director of westham was caught sending a mail to an agent saying he doesnt want african players, south americans also get to hide age and even some europeans...i can easily say robben and rooney are a example..african players are not well protected and most are lazy and just after money...have you wondered why top brazillians dont play at the top from age 28-30, the also reduce age .....ronaldo,ronadinho,rivaldo,robinho, even kaka...lets watch out for neymar

redtosine:
Isaac promise just signed for malaga in spain

isaac success did

4koff:


Who is overrated? is there anyone that you have seen that plays football better? Not scoring goals alone. I mean to play soccer.

The great Ronaldinho sir. Messi is Dem too good no doubt. But lets educate ourselves on this. Messi was discovered even before he became a teenager, properly nurtured by Barca academy. With this he got the marketability factor which enabled him to start winning the ballon d'or at an early stage. Ronaldinho on the other, who was not promoted or known from his youth and was outstandingly dangerous, got his shot when he arrived barca at the age of 25 winning 2 of that same title. Now, lets imagine Dinho had the same time and chance as messi, I can bet it with u, that guy could have bowed out with at least 8 ballon d'or. My conjecture though.

PETUK:
please remind me the club that Obama and Oprah Winfrey played for

it's not about club, we are talking about being successful in the midst of white people

Hope U also know d content of d message Mr Henry sent? Everyone reduces age no doubts but not as much as Nigerians and Africans in general.. How old was Ronaldo at his last world cup? All d players u listed peaked and played over a considerable period of tym before eventually slowly drifting off mostly due to disciplinary issues.....

sleeveless:


Pls stop this thing u are trying to do, this is the full Argentina starting XI and tell me how many of these players are still relevant. Lets stop this unnecessary criticizing

AR Argentina

1 Ustari
4 Barroso
13 Garay
6 Paletta
3 Formica
8 Zabaleta
5 Torres
17 Gago
15 Archubi
18 Messi
20 Oberman

# Substitutes
7 Biglia
11 Armenteros
19 Agüero

arrant nonsense...aguero didnt play with messi, gago,zabaleta and messi all played at the top and still has an active career

Guyman02:


Wrong, Mikel has played at the highest levels of the game and has also won several trophies including champions league, Olympic medal, African Nations cup, league titles etc

Pls note, a player can sit down on the bench all season and win similar titles. What we also care for in these players, is their individual performances and impact. Further, the great Ronaldo delima did not win a champions league title nor Olympic medal. Does that make Mikel bigger?

Enemyofpeace:
it's not about club, we are talking about being successful in the midst of white people

both of u are funny Sa.

Shegzy8:

arrant nonsense...aguero didnt play with messi

Aguero was in that squad, but wasn't among d starting XI,
NB: don't start an argument as if we are quarrelling. Try to be civil, we argue to learn

And one became a five time world best; Lionel Messi was destined to be great.

destinkoko:
it’s obvious u read football & watch complete sports. when last did lorente & fabregas featured for spain? when last did zabaleta featured for argentina? even aguero and mascharo aren’t even in 1st team. let me teach u history, taiye taiwo was already in first team both in country & club b4 messi could dream of making his debut in his club & country. a mil advice bro, everyone has his own track. remember dranthe & gago, babel both played d compitition. where’re dey now? better go become a poem writer & leave football 4 d people dat knows it. thank u

Pls, leave the guy to be, most of them are just looking at the pictures not the fact.
