Thanks man.



On to the next tournament. Football is life.

He’s definitely surpassed Maradona in my view. Maradona’s time at very top lasted three years whereas Messi has been at the top of world football for his entire 17 year career. However, Pele had a prolific long career but he also played at a time when the game was quite different both from a stylis...

Are we talking about the same Mbappe that went missing against England, Morocco and for 80 mins of the final? The key guy in the final was Kolo Muani. Mbappe is good, but is easily shut out by a guy who is fast. Let's assess him when he is 30 and no longer a speedster. All the greats can be kept qu...

Brett, your post got me thinking on this on another angle. Do you care that Croatia gets cheated? Should I care Nigeria gets cheated? So many fans only care when it is their team. Gloating when our teams get f*****. Meanwhile France, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, even that over-hyped Belgium are the ...

They always have dubious decisions go their way. Remember our match vs them in 2014. Giraud and Matuidi should have both seen red. Plus we had a stone wall pk denied. Fuuuck them and their African slaves that play for them. The goal we scored vs Bosnia was offside.. TF has that got to do with that ...

It is hard to replicate the Croatia or French Clairefontaine model in Nigeria. Firstly, the location of national facilities is a hugely controversial issue. Each of Nigeria's 36 states would intensely lobby to locate it in their state. Then the other 35 states would complain about being "margi...

This speaks to Morocco and Croatia in this context. 3 Croatians and Moroccans make L'Equipe World Cup XI. 2 are young. Of course Modric is done, but it overall speaks to good future. I have to think the same for Morocco. For Croatia, it covers GK, defense, and midfield. Fingers crossed. Note: Speaks...

I'm proud of this. 3 Croatians make L'Equipe World Cup XI. 2 are young. Of course Modric is done, but it overall speaks to good future. Fingers crossed. Note: Morocco also had 3 players. Speaks how strong Group F was in World Cup. https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article28767038.ece/ALTERNATES/...

I won't go deep into it...but yes, this is where the West gets deserved criticism for its BS moral imperialism. Like no Western host ever had social and political issues. But the hypocrites use sports to attack Qatar and greater Arab and Muslim societies on cultural terms. When sports should be used...

Thanks, your team were my favourite in terms of work rate and attitude. If I could coach a bunch of guys, it will be them. No prima donnas, reminds me of Hockey where even the best and most talented have no choice but to still play the game with hardwork. They were just jaded and uncharacteristical...

I played with guys who played with Pele. Finally...just 1 fact...Pele was not a big part of 1962. Not that it matters. Just saying. :biggrin: mate, you be my very, very good friend, that is why I think I can advise you on this matter. :D We are too old now to be engaging in this "I know somebo...

Hi Mate. To respond to your points: 1) "why then not have a system of 2 strikers" - Nigeria has a surplus of wingers and midfielders. Adding a second striker will mean dropping one of them, changing the team's shape, and putting more pressure on an already unsteady defence. I personally w...

I have this tired argument with some North American friends even today...who think England is a tier 1 football power with players as good as anybody else. France says it all about this. To be fair mate, in this world cup England stood up to be counted. They happened on Bellingham and that seemed t...

Guys, it was as always a pleasure and privilege sharing this WC with you all. We've a long history. Lots of diversity among us. I appreciate the thanks, support, and even criticism of my Croatia. It's life. I also in turn keep an eye out for African teams and, yes, Nigeria not being here. We engage ...

I get where Mate is coming from when he says the footballers now are better but just watch Pele highlights. He is arguably quicker and more athletic than Messi and Maradona. He has a spring that can rival an elite Nba player and he used to execute bicycle kicks for fun, something I have never seen ...

By winning one WC on PKs against a fourth string France side? Abeg comot for road. You’re too smart to narrow it to this. Messi scored twice in what might be the greatest final ever at age 35 . On top of the most illustrious club accomplishments, where he played a monster role. France is the profes...

Smh. Fifa is so corrupt

A sport journalist I know also answered me on the GOAT. He emphasized Pele might be eclipsed in terms of some trophies and awards...but that cross generational comparisons are futile. There are too many variables and what-ifs. He too knew Pele on a personal and social level. He has covered and met e...

Ok, my friend who was Pele's teammate said the following, translated from Croatian, comparing Pele to Messi: Pele was a more complete player than Messi. Pele had a better head, left and right foot, and built the ball better...for me, the best of all ❤️. The term built is literal and doesn't translat...

When I was a teen, I played with a player who was a teammate of Pele on the NY Cosmos. And am friends with this person. How can you believe me? Yujam is my Facebook friend and can corroborate if he reaches out to me. I will reach out next day or two and ask about Pele in this context...something I w...

I saw tape of Sweden vs Brazil in 1958. Those Swedish players were clumsy, rigid, classic white boys can't dance :) having 0 creativity and art. Day and night compared to Brazil, let alone a talent like Pele! Pele was left alone with time and space often enough. So if the opponents were so crap how...

Pelé - 3 WC titles, 7 Ballon D'Or Maradona - 1 WC title, 2 Ballon D'Or Messi - 1 WC title, 7 Ballon D'Or Any questions? :D I have a question: which Ballon D'Or did Pele win? 🤔 Because this article offered some clarity on the matter. https://en.as.com/soccer/why-did-pele-never-win-a-ballon-dor-if-he...
