peterd53:


No player came close to Messi in terms of individual performance. To score 51 goals in 49 games no b beans ooo. Coupled with him playing as a playmaker and delivering 20+ assist in all competition. Fear God!!!

safarigirl:


Messi did nothing for Argentina in the same calendar year

If FIFA does not rate the international stage, they should tell us, there is no reason why people should give their all for club and country, only to have someone who only shows up for his club, win their awards.

Players should seize showing up for international engagements, as it holds no importance when it comes down to it

Earthquake1:


Make I refresh your memory

Messi makes these stats look ordinary to you, Thanks Semiife

Joebie:
As shitty as the NPFL is, people will still be defending the league. How can you see dark and call it clear bright sky?

Why do the Algerian communities in France hate France so much?


NB: This is why French players of Algerian descent always put Algeria first before France.

When will Iheanacho pigmouth who is supposedly a hybrid of Messi and Ronaldo and better than mbappe mount this podium ?

Triniti:
North Africans generally hate France because of what they did to their fathers (Chibanis) you know that situation where a father keeps saying bad things about someone continuously around a toddler? They grow up harboring same hatred in their hearts. The French government has for years refused to compensate them for the works they did after they migrated in their hundreds in the 60s and 70s during the French labor shortage

Algeria had a bitter fight to independence in 1962. They were the last of their subregion to gain independence. They suffered heavy casulties. Although Western Sahara is still being colonised by Morocco after the Spaniards pulled out from that territory.

However, France has maintained a good relationship with it's ex-colonies, Algeria inclusive.

TheSuperNerd:
Yes and although Macron did acknowledge France's wrongs against the Algerians in an address last year where he supposedly dropped "an apology", it doesn't suddenly erase the deep seated hate the Algerians based in France have for the French.

You can imagine what a France vs Algeria match would look like. Lol... #Bloody

TheSuperNerd:

They mentioned his achievement as Spanish league top scorer twice. Lol...

In any case... congrats Messi.

North Africans are crazy football fanatics. A match between both countries will put police on their toes

safarigirl:
this makes no sense and has no relationship to the FIFA award.

EPL is just one competition, the FIFA Award is not or should not be limited to one competition.

Humility017:


they played each other in 2014 world cup

TheSuperNerd:

They didn't face each other at Brazil 2014. They faced Germany who knocked them out and Germany went on to face France.

Algeria played Switzerland, France and South Korea
I think they won south Korea, draw Switzerland and lost against France.....

TheSuperNerd:
Again Nope. It was Group H. Russia, Algeria, South Korea and Belgium. Lost to the latter, drew against Russia and beat Korea.

Gernot Rohr: My squad against Brazil ready

Nigerians rooting for Chelsea’s duo of Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori to don the Super Eagles colours would have to wait a little longer, according to Coach Gernot Rohr.

Though enthusiastic about the prospect of adding the duo to the Super Eagles, the German said it is a long process before the players can make the expected switch since they had already featured for England.

He cited the fact that Abraham and Tomori have played with the English youth teams would make it difficult to process their eligibility for the Super Eagles.

He used Torino’s Ola Aina as an example of how difficult it was to change nationality.

“The two players (Abraham and Tomori) have already played with England and there is a long process to follow before they can feature for Nigeria,” Rohr said in a chat with NationSport.


He added: “It took NFF one year before we could get Ola Aina to play for us.”


Meanwhile, Rohr hinted that he has already submitted the Super Eagles team list for next month’s International friendly between Nigeria and Brazil to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

The Super Eagles will face the five-time world champions on October 13 at the National Stadium in Singapore.

The thee-time African champions, Nigeria begin their qualifying campaign for the 2021 AFCON on November 11 against Benin Republic at the southern Nigerian town of Benin City. Sierra Leone and Lesotho are the other teams in their qualifying group.
