The fact that the anonymous PIDOM could be traced & apprehended means the Nigerian security architecture is actually capable of tracking down Boko Haram, abductors etc holding Nigerians hostage, but they don't want to. Because some people in govt are benefiting from the chaos.
@Mo_LM10_
There was a reason nobody wanted him when he was chased away at United with his tails between his legs - people forget that's why he now plays for Al Nassr. However I don't see him flopping at the Euros. He'd most likely stat-pad in the group stage. But that's where it ends.
@Debbybruno3
Stop explaining, just cook him. He and his fans are heartless trolls who don't deserve any explanations hence give them a dose of their own medicine. With no remorse. Provocatively.
@totalBarca
He didn't need to "3-peat the UCL" or "prove himself in other top leagues" before getting GOAT shouts. Not just that, he was only a 22-year-old with just 2 UCL titles & 1 Ballon d'Or. But do you know why he was rated that highly? Because of his evident/unprecedented ability.
Messi is somewhat timid and I despise that about him.
If he has to hire himself a social media manager/handler at this juncture, he kindly should.
Penaldo isn't half the footballer that you are, act like one by putting him in his place. Trust me, he won't come at you again.
@Joshua_Ubeku
The number of Ronaldo fans that bookmarked this video thinking they would come back to clown this guy was mind-boggling. This guy, like some of us, was spot on. Cristiano couldn't light up the Euros when he was better and younger than this, his fugazi form in Saudi did him dirty.

Tinubu apologists be like: Wow, what a profound way to pray for one's political party. People think he was stuttering or being incoherent with his speech. PD is actually an acronym of public domain. So what he meant was, "God bless public domain APC." Waiting for Keyamo.
@AltinsBack
I hope Leo Messi retires while the ovation is still loud before his ability and commitment is being questioned by his own people. Everyone knows he is the problem in that Portugal team, the only people who think otherwise are his teenage fanboys.
@maxstephh
Now a 12 year old Ronaldo fan who didn't see him play alongside their idol would reel out stats at the slightest provocation just to discredit Rooney for saying what 99% of football fans already know. These trolls obviously don't know how valuable Rooney was to Manchester United.
@Troll_Futballl
Correction: Messi has scored a total of 37 goals in finals. Ronaldo has 22.
This article was before Inter Miami's Leagues Cup final last year in which he scored.
That's the problem, you guys modestly post Messi's stats while Ronaldo fans inflate Ronaldo's.
@AltinsBack
😭
Let's face it, all this guy has been doing for 20 years is spamming speculative shots mostly from impossible angles hoping few of them go in. 3 goals out of 93 attempts is wild regardless of who your GOAT is. This club merchant can't be the face of football.
This is how most of them d3luded bunch think, hope & imagine. All of them. Then it happens antithetically, then it becomes just a Friendly. Mind you, Messi already had their hypothetical hat-trick in an actual competitive match. I guess that didn't end the "debate." This would.
Imagine Cristiano Ronaldo scoring hattrick against Messi’s inter Miami, 8 ballon D’Or and a World Cup automatically become useless in the GOAT debate 😭😭
If this happened to Ronaldo in the title run-in, his fanboys would claim some imaginary system was against him. The same system that was giving him dodgy penalties, offside goals & even extended BDO voting deadline in order to help him win the award despite going trophyless.
If the Martin Zubimendi rumors are true, I urge INEOS to withdraw from the Ugarte deal with immediate effect and instead focus on the Spaniard. For those of us who are NOT Premier League merchant, we know he is a gem.
@goal
Only zombies will fall for Cristiano Ronaldo's hypocrisy. He voted Messi this year simply because he knows Messi stands no chance this time. Show us who he voted for last year & make me look like a hater.

Convinced? You should naturally KNOW as a human being whose brain is functioning well. For the umpteenth time, every football fan knows this. It's a known fact. Yes, some of them, especially Madridiots, may deny it, but they know in their heart of hearts that Messi is better.
@Joshua_Ubeku
The fact that he was able to live up to the hype & expectations of being compared with Maradona at such a tender age. At the peak of the comparison, he recreated the solo goal that Maradona was revered for. Dude has even gone on to surpass Maradona or any other player in history.

Like Ronaldo's at the 2016 Euros, Pele was carried in two of the 3 WCs he won. Little wonder why he won just 1 WC golden ball. Messi has two — which is unprecedented.
The GOAT addresses the debate professionally & constructively without sounding condescending, unlike Mbappé, Tebas & other Europhiles who deliberately tried to elicit negative reactions from those of us who disagree. Leo Messi's knowledge of the game is underrated. Rarely misses.
🚨 Leo Messi: "Mbappe saying that Euro's are more difficult than the World Cup? He also said that the South American teams didn't have the competition of the Europeans. Everyone values what they play.
"The Euro Cup is very important, but it leaves out Argentina, three-time
@CrewsMat10
See the pattern of the Ballon d'Or winners since 2009?
It's between Messi & Madrid players. As long as they are Madrid players & Leo doesn't win some important trophies, they win it. It doesn't matter if they deserve it or not. This was the privilege Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed.
@Debbybruno3
Again, if Cristiano Ronaldo was born in a footballing country like Brazil - playing with Raphinha, Endrick, Antony & Pereiras instead of Rafael Leao, Bernardo Silva & Bruno Fernandes, he would have led his own national team to 20 finals. Too bad he was born in Luxembourg.
@uchejombo
We know.
I know people are entitled to their opinion and all. And I respect that. But, no matter how knowledgeable & articulate you seem to be as a football analyst, writer, manager or fan, once you suggest/say Ronaldo is better than Messi, you don't understand football.
@Joshua_Ubeku
Posted this after the Portugal vs Croatia game yesterday.
If the country Estonia beat can be found here, then Messi should be able to score a double-hat-trick against them.
And remember, these are the countries Ronaldo stat-pads against and gets the GOAT shout.
@Vettel_AMR
@_Yajnesh_
You are just delud3d. On current form, Di Maria isn't better than Leao and Bernardo Silva, and you know it. Besides, apart from the Mexico & France game, Di Maria was largely injured. Also, the manager you are pillorying, won the only two trophies in Portugal's history.
@CristianoXtra_
We get it, Ronaldo was a midfielder in a 4-4-2 formation when he was at United. Perfect. But if we were to consider his goals since he moved to Real Madrid as a forward+now a striker, he has scored 659 goals. Messi has 672 in that period. Are you guys not tired of excuses?
Bishop David Oyedepo sounds profound only when he is talking about tithes & offering. Can a sane human being (not an extremist) explain what this means literally? 🙄
When Mason Greenwood is done farming in Ligue 1, PL clubs will start looking beyond his baggages. They'll be queueing for his signature. And as for Manchester United FC, it'd wish it hadn't listened to hypocritically pious & sanctimonious moralists claiming to be the club's fans.
@MIDASCRYPTIC
@Joshua_Ubeku
This one is just a miscommunication/misunderstanding.
But Ronaldo's? Forget the tweet we both are reacting to, the Portuguese angrily and cockily refused to come on as a sub and left the stadium while the game was ongoing.
@Joshua_Ubeku
How can they drag their paymaster?
Learn to read between the lines as it's not rocket science. Cristiano Ronaldo has been the one bankrolling them to soil Messi's reputation in order to make the boy from Rosario feel miserable.
But no man can curse who God has blessed.
You see the step-overs, tricks & whatnot that Ronaldo fans salivate over, Neymar, Ronaldinho, Nazario & even Okocha did it better. Ask me why. They wouldn't do it just to pass backwards like Cristiano does. They do it to actually beat opponents. Same reason I didn't rate Robinho.
@BarcaWorldwide
This is what Messi's detractors made him become AT THE TIME. See the ocean of joy a Copa medal evoked on a 6-time Ballon d'Or winner. Leo never displayed so much elation at any of his 6 Ballon d'Or or 4 UCL wins. Because of what? His haters mandated him to win an Int'l trophy.
@PoojaMedia
Ronaldo didn't have issues with the club facilities when he scored 18 league goals
He only started speaking up in the 2nd season because his performances were atrocious, had 1 league goal & was getting benched
Couldn't live with the fact that the team was doing well without him
@MrFilipeOrlando
"My work is done in Europe."
You have two options now:
1) Continue living in denial, or
2) Accept this sad reality of him not playing at the highest level again.
@AlbicelesteTalk
Going by the caption, Cristiano Ronaldo FC's interpretation of this mute video will be, Messi masterminded the bullying. Apparently, the kingpin calls the short. Only God knows what Di Maria did to him to warrant this. Maybe Leo is jealous of him because he scores in finals.

@NoodleHairCR7
Ronaldo fans have finally found a reason as to why their Scape GOAT couldn't score a single goal at the Euros right after scoring a buttload of goals in Saudi. It's Messi's fault that CONMEBOL decided to celebrate Copa's 100th anniversary in 2016. Genius, 2012, 2016, 2021 & 2024.
@Joshua_Ubeku
So the stats that were being disseminated yesterday were false. Even with the subtraction & falsification, it wasn't close.
That's the difference between Messi FC and Ronaldo FC. The latter inflate their idol's stats just so he could keep up. They know Ronaldo is inferior.
@goal
Real football fans need to understand that regardless of the shitload of goals Ronaldo scores, as long as Lionel Messi, the greatest of all time, is still active, he will always be no.1 BY DEFAULT. It's a no-brainer. This is what Ronaldo fans are refusing to come to terms with.
China-domiciled Dan Bello is doing the job of EFCC from far away China. He alleges that Ganduje's wife, Hafsat, directly steals from Kano State coffers to her personal accounts. I mean, she made it easy for the so-called financial crime commission, yet they turned a blind eye.
@Joshua_Ubeku
People still don't get it. Scoring back-to-back hat-tricks isn't the problem, what is, is scoring them/stat-padding when your team is already leading comfortably against helpless relegation-bound teams, and then ghosting vs your main rivals. That's how flat-track bullies operate.
Cristiano Ronaldo played at the Olympics in 2004 but never won a gold medal. Leo Messi won one but people like you invariably downplay it. But you lot try to make mountains out of a molehill over an ordinary celebration.
The Portuguese has to be the most overrated player ever.
Ronaldo is not at the Olympics but still trended all over the social space when Ecuador's Runner won gold & hit the SIUUUUU celebration.
The most iconic celebration ever. 🔥
@Joshua_Ubeku
This was how he distorted Manchester United's style of play. Dude had our players crossing even from the midfield. It wasn't funny. At least, the Portuguese players ignore some of his runs, but ours, especially Dalot, didn't want to offend him. I've never seen anything like that.
@Joshua_Ubeku
90% of those pushing the narrative don't even know what happened back then. They either weren't born yet as at the time or to young to know what was going on; just regurgitating what they are being told by those disingenuous trolls who are sexually attracted to Ronaldo.
@breathMessi21
Prior to the game, Ronaldo & his fans were suspiciously confident of a remontada.
The game starts & Al Nassr concede two goals on purpose in order to make it look real. And then Al Ain's goalkeeper scores an own goals & then a non-existent was awarded. A poorly scripted tie.
@Joshua_Ubeku
Why are his fans begging him? He shouldn't retire o. In fact, I speak for all Messi fans when I say we want him to be available for selection at the next WC. How would we vehemently banter him if he retires from international football? It'd be good news he makes this official.

@AlbicelesteTalk
Cristiano Ronaldo fans think being respected and adored this way is by just goalscoring. No, it's about being the full package. Don't come here and brag about how your idol was a great dribbler 22 years ago. Did the dribbling ability coincide with his scoring ability? No. Next!
I swear sports betting is cruel. Before now, goals were very hard to come by, then you apply common sense by opting for this option, then Netherlands went on to do the opposite of your bet - 3 goals on a row. 210 combined minutes yesterday and all we got was a goal. An own goal.
2odds ???
- Romania vs Netherlands
(any team to score 3 goals in a row - NO )
- Austria vs Turkiye
(Turkiye to score)
STAKE EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER WORKED FOR!!!

@WhoScored
Cristiano Ronaldo was a flop in his last season in the PL, was flop at the 2022 WC & now a flop at the ongoing Euros, but amidst all this, he has somehow managed to score tons of goals in Saudi.
You still want me to explain the obvious to you after this observation?
@Vettel_AMR
@_Yajnesh_
And the fact that your idol couldn't start when it mattered most shows you are fighting an already lost battle.
And I see you talk about goals in finals, Ronaldo has never scored a single in any final while representing Portugal. Let's talk about that.

No, he isn't "topping" because he won the WC, he is because he is better than all of them. Mention just one player who has won more Ballon d'Or, more MVP awards, more WC golden ball, more golden boots, more European shoes & more trophies than him. I will be waiting.
Forget Simi, how come no one has ever talked about Vector's dope verse on Owo mi ti poju - even though it's a relatively old track. The delivery, topnotch. Profound metaphor & pun. Every line has its own punchline. According to him, his lines are his dough. Money well spent, V.
Funnily enough, these aren't the worst nations on that continent.
- Estonia
- Faroe Islands
- Kosovo
- Lithuania
- Moldova
- Kazakhstan
Actually, the aforementioned countries are much worse. Unarguably.
If/When Benzema wins the Ballon d'Or later in the year, Cristiano Ronaldo will have played with 3 Ballon d'Or winners in his career: Kaka, Modric & the Frenchman. But the media & his apologists constantly make people believe he has played with duds all his life. Always funny.
INEOS need to understand that the club need the services of Manuel Ugarte asap whether Scott McTominay stays or not. Would rather he stays - because no other midfielder at the club gives us what he offers. Eriksen should be sacrificed instead. The Dane is like dust; unneeded.
You've been struggling to get HE Peter Obi's attention, but he'd rather Bayo Onanuga have it. And it's simple: you are inconsequential.

@Joshua_Ubeku
That's why I laugh at Ronaldo fanboys who are hopeful he wins the next WC. Yes, his nation is capable of winning it, but can Ronaldo be the best player come 2026? Then, he has to win the MVP in Euros next year. Dude has never ever won any MVP awards for his national team.
Those who know me know I'm as sensitive as they come, but during this moment, I had no modicum of sympathy for him. He deserved worse. Because prior to this moment, this overrated crybaby had achieved more than his ability & it had started to get to him & his d3luded fans.
Whatever the stats are, as long as it's for attacking midfielders/strikers, you can rest assured that it will start/end with "only Messi has more." No attacking stats is incomplete without that phrase. More like Ronaldo has won 5 Ballon d'Or, only Messi has more. 😂
Even AY himself knows Bovi is funnier than he will ever be. He doesn't come close. The only comedian who comes close in this country is Basketmouth. That's where it ends.

@AlbicelesteTalk
Most people, including casuals, have started realizing that there was never a debate or rivalry. The rivalry has always been between Lionel Messi Florentino Perez. Cristiano Ronaldo was just their poster boy. It's akin to what they are trying hard to do with Jude Bellingham now.
Scholes. Rivals fans that are mostly kids who didn't see him play genuinely feel he wasn't on the same level as Lampard & Gerrard. They all bank on stats, which says a lot about how football is being perceived in modern era. It's quite pathetic.

Cole Palmer: "Who did I wanted to be growing up? Lionel Messi.
"Messi or KDB? Messi.

But Ronaldo fans are trying to make it seem as if Cole Palmer has changed his opinion about who the GOAT is.
@Joshua_Ubeku
Glad we have it on record that Cristiano Ronaldo said World Cup is the hardest competition to win. His fans can keep embarrassing themselves like they've been for ages with the "Ronaldo was a midfielder" gimmick. Just like this one, he averred that he was a pure winger at United.
If you hate Messi for this 40-year-old crybaby & excuse his petulance and juvenile behavior by even calling it aura, then something is significantly wrong with your brain, and I have no apologies for that.
Cristiano Ronaldo isn't good enough to even be in the GOAT conversation. He won as much as 5 Ballon d'Ors because he played for Real Madrid. And if not for Florentino Perez, he'd be one of the regular players with one or two Ballon d'Ors. He should be grateful to Real Madrid.
If this guy wins a trophy with Portugal in a competition that he has to face almighty nations like Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Poland & Wales, and he is this vocal about how difficult it is to win the Euros, what should players who won it with Greece & Denmark in 1992 & 2004 do?
Cristiano Ronaldo "conquering" Spain with 2 league titles and 1 LaLiga MVP award in 9 years will forever be a myth.
The way his fans act as though this and many more never happened under his nose needs to be thoroughly studied.
🇪🇸 | PLAYERS OF THE SEASON
The 2024/25 LaLiga starts today, which marks the start of a new race for our Player of the Season trophy! 🏆
After Messi’s long reign, three different players came out on top in the last three seasons — who do you see as the favourite this time? 🤔
If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed, STOP SCROLLING. For just 5 seconds. We might not be mutuals, but I want you to know that I'm rooting for you. I hope the universe smiles on you someday & you heal from whatever it is you are going through. Because you deserve a better life.
For years, Messi has been carrying his country to countless trophies & medals i.e. U-20 WC, Olympics, Copa America, Finalissima & actual WC.
So it's a pleasure to watch his teammates who he helped win the WC just a couple years ago return the favour. He deserves it as the GOAT.
