Drogba was a known penalty misser. His body language was too easy to read. I've seen him miss penalties before that the goalkeeper can easily telegraph from his body language. Tall players don't usually fare well with penalties due to their physiology being easy to read. That's how he missed Ivory Coast chance of glory in AFCON. I was surprised he scored that penalty in Munich TBH. I expected him to miss.

So religion is the hindrance to development and growth in our land??

Mister go and hold your government

Religion encourages discrimination ,fosters disunity which hinders growth and progress. Most wars in the world are rooted in religious beliefs and tribalism.

Why did Lampard not teach him PK tactics, the way Okocha taught Ronaldinho how to drimbu

The Chinese government have been cracking down on religion for decades.
So I don't know what you mean when you say they are more religious than us.

As for India, they have been at loggerheads with Pakistan for decades now purely on religious grounds. The two countries are divided purely on the basis of religion.
I affirm my earlier stance that religion is at the basis of mankind's problems and deaths.

Crackdown on their main religions or Islam and Christianity?

Your second statement does not talk about how religion affected India. Has the USA not being on loggerheads with other countries on non-religious things?

Talk another story.

Never denied that. He was our third best player in that final. His ball holding skills bought us moments of respite from incessant pressure. There is a difference between playing well on the edge of your box all game where opposition have no space to run behind. . . and being a complete escort when asked to play on the halfway line.

What's the difference between lampard and Drogba taking the penalty at that moment for you to say team first before personal glory? Drogba would have killed two birds with one stone.

The difference between Drogba and Lampard is that Lampard is the no. 1 designated penalty taker. Drogba is number 2.

Once Lampard is on the pitch, he takes the penalty. No debate. Any other person wanting to take penalty when Lampard is on the pitch is for personal glory.

Drogba and Lampard have actually fought over penalties before. Rooney and Drogba was fighting for golden boot and were tied on 26goals each on the last day of the season. Chelsea vs Wigan Drogba wanted to take the penalty to go above Rooney but lampard didn't allow him. Drogba ended up scoring an hatrick tho.

he still allowed Drogba to take one penalty that day.

At the end of the day, it will be a Chelsea player who won the golden boot. Which one be personal glory? Abi if Lampard score people no go run go celebrate with am? No be him name them go add the goal to?

wooooooo Lampard the glory hunter.

I'm not sure you watched the game that day. If you did, you wouldn't question what I said.

First of all, it was 1 goal lead, not 2.

Chelsea went into that final day just one point ahead of Man Utd in the table so the match is a must win for us to lift the trophy.

Anelka scored an early goal. The game was dicey till that penalty..... At 1-0 the game is still anybody's game, especially when a draw might cost us the league. And just before the penalty, news came in that Man Utd have scored in their own game.

Lampard is the designated penalty taker and 2-0 will most likely seal the game. And here is Drogba wanting to take the penalty (at that moment, he is still tied on 26 goals with Rooney). If its not personal glory, tell me why Drogba will want to take that penalty considering what is at stake that moment?

Lampard was lucky. Assuming the game ended 2:0 and Rooney scored to top Drogba in the goal chart I swear he for beat lampard. Bad teammate.

Guys make una no dey talk like this.

At the bolded... You can never be sure. Drogba and Rooney was tied on 26 goals each.

And all the match was played at the same time. Drogba just wanted to add to his goals tally, expecting that Rooney might also score.

Man Utd won their own match I think 4-0 but Rooney didn't score.

I'm sure Lampard and Drogba discussed that penalty during half time and Lampard may have explained things to him. In the 2nd half, Chelsea got another penalty and Drogba took it. This time, the match is already sealed.

I remember watching that match with tension from the beginning knowing how Wigan use to worry us those days.

If e happen like this, Drogba gast chill.

That's why I said team first before personal glory.

What if Drogba took the PK and missed then Wigan equalised then Man Utd win their own match? Or what if Drogba scored and the game ended 2-2, and Drogba won golden boot while Man Utd win the league? Which one will he prefer?

At that instance the team and Drogba personal glory were one and the same thing. Drogba takes the Pk and scores, he tops Rooney on the goal chart and Chelsea go 2:0 up. Win win scenario for both. There was really no disadvantage of Drogba taking that first penalty at all.

Is there any difference between Drogba or Lampard taking the Pk and missing? The Koko is at that instance their was no disadvantage in letting Drogba take it. He scores good for him and Chelsea. He misses bad for him and Chelsea as well. Am trying to tell you their is no difference between his personal glory and Chelsea glory at that instance.

There is a reason every team has designated penalty takers. These guys are selected from the best penalty taker downwards.

If Lampard miss the penalty, nothing much will be said about it. It's one of those things in football, either you score or miss.

But if the main penalty taker is in the pitch and another person takes it and miss, there will be a lot of questions asked.... The uproar will be great.

That's the difference.
