Everything Zicky and I said is true. You are the only one left on Ignorance boulevard.

You are no historian of the game. You are a comedian of the game. Lol

Bannedlargejr:


lol you have to be a joker or a real gen Z to make such statements. Ballon D’OR not having the same relevance until 2010? You have to be joking absolutely no way. If you conducted your due diligence you will realize that, fifa were the ones that requested to partner with the BDO and not otherwise. Trust me, I am an historian of the game. All you need to do is ask google which award is more prestigious BDO vs FIFA awards and the conversations will be over. Can someone else ask google the questions let’s end these discussions

As usual, people with zero intellectual contributions to a football discourse will be yapping from their insignificant caves. If you can't contribute intelligently, you shut up instead of screaming from the back for others talking and making points to be quiet.

It shows you don't enjoy the thread being educated. You enjoy ignorance.

Meanwhile Barcelona's La Masia have again and again proven why they are possibly the most elite of the Elite youth talents academy in Europe.

They have produced lads who have gone on to win the Ballon D'or Kopa Trophy 3 times in 4 years.

Pedri won it in 2021.
Gavi won it in 2022.
Lamine Yamal wins it in 2024.

Insane Talents Factory.

Even the Number 1 Chess player in the world, Magnus Carlsen of Norway offers his to Vinicius Jr as he also thinks Vini Jr was deserving the Ballon D'or. This Rodri win is truly divisive. Massively divisive and Rodri is a player I like and rate as possibly the best CDM in world football today and an important part of the MAN CITY SUPER TEAM.


PS: Can't post a pic of it as NL is acting funny.

One thing that I ire about him is his humility, consideration and professionalism to the game. The man always praises his family, coaches, team, prior to himself. He is very media trained and hardworking. CAF awards is Next

Yeah most of the Nigerian guys raised over seas I've noticed are well spoken calm guys when they give interviews. Whether it's Iwobi, Ola, Ekong, Eze, Saka, Musiala, Akanji, Aribo, Alaba etc.

He carried Nigeria to Afcon final as top scorer..

He won Europa with a scintillating hattrick(Atalanta's first trophy in 60 years)

Had 30 goal contributions in all competitions..

Ademola Lookman Olajade Alade Aylola Lookman (MON) is Africa’s best player in 2024 for sure..

FIFA (@FIFAWorldCup) asks a question that seems common but also one that perhaps not many have given deep enough thought to.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE NIGERIAN PLAYER OF ALL TIME?

For me, it's Rashidi Yekini until someone else breaks his scoring record for the National team.

Also the third-highest Afcon goal scorer with 13 goals

Kanu... Hands down.. No 4.

That Atlanta 96,when he was lifted on a shoulder was forever ingrained in my young memory...

Yekini.(the way he scores)
Obafemi Martins (blistering speed,+ ps1 days of inter)
Ikechukwu uche ( I feel better when he is in the lineup)

These are my favorite Naija ballers.

Tore Europa to Pieces.

Destroyed the German Invincibles in a European Final.

His goals destroyed one of Nigeria's Biggest eternal rivals in Football, Cameroun at Afcon 2024 in a knockout. His goals and attacking contributions pushing us to the Afcon final in a year many Nigerians didn't think we will reach the final. Truth be told, before the tournament began, I was one of those Nigerians but after the first game and seeing JPes' team picks and the 343 switch omo, I saw rays of hope with the ultra defensive approach.

Ademola Lookman basically made his NT debut in March 2022, just 2 years and 7months ago. Not too long ago yet see how far he's come in the GWG

Interesting choices. Almost like you are picking your first choice 4 man attacking force.
