'Lanre

Why dem no open boarder make we decide if we wan come or not

@tobiclemson @Biblet_Quinn @RayToluAyo Chaiii. See me wasting my time on someone who I thought was logical enough.

@Biblet_Quinn @kingrio6102 @RayToluAyo If them review Messi career you go see say he no better pass Bernardo Silva but make we move on.

Of Lionel Messi's eight Ballon d'Ors win, I can tell you that three to four of his awards were not deserving • 2010 • 2019 • 2021 I am indifferent of 2012 and 2023 wins to an extent For Ronaldo • 2013 I am also indifferent of his 2014 win to an extent You can call it an agenda.... I will give you a breakdown Someone made a comment on my post yesterday and said Lionel Messi has enjoyed corruption in the game pointing to the 2010 Ballon d'Or win I said, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have benefited from it and I pointed to the 2013 Ronaldo Ballon d'Or win but I included a caveat 'It started with Messi' The FIFA World Cup was rated so high that it automatically determines who wins the FIFA Player of the Year Award and the Ballon d'Or And in the year when there is no FIFA World Cup, the Champions League and other factors can come into play It could sometimes swerve though but the Champions League became a major factor for the Ballon d'Or in the 2006/2007 season The FIFA Player of the Year award started in 1991 and the first winner was Lother Mathaus He was the captain of the German national team that had just won the 1990 FIFA World Cup and he won the Ballon d'Or too In 1994, Romario of Brazil won the FIFA Award but didn't win the Ballon d'Or because it was meant for European players alone So, Hristo Stoichov of Bulgaria won it. He had a great tournament. • Bulgaria was fourth • He was joint top scorer • Third best player After 1994, Ballon d'Or organizers turned it to a global award and in 1995, George Weah became the first non-European to win it In 1998, Zinedine Zidane after winning the World Cup with France won the FIFA Award and Ballon d'Or • Ronaldo Delima won both awards in 2002 • Fabio Cannavaro won both awards in 2006 Both players won the FIFA World Cup Until 2010!!! When the unbelievable happened Wesley Sneijder had a stunning year with Inter Milan and the Netherlands. • Won a treble with Inter Milan • 2010 FIFA World Cup Silver Ball • 2010 FIFA World Cup Bronze Boot But he wasn't even nominated Lionel Messi had gone to the World Cup and had no impact but to the surprise of many, he won the FIFA Ballon d'Or It was arguably the biggest robbery of any award the world has ever seen Not even Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez were deemed fit to win it despite winning the FIFA World Cup in 2010 And that was when the corruption started Cristiano Ronaldo won both awards despite crashing out of the group stage in 2014 The world cup was also neglected In 2018, Modric won both awards because of he won the Golden Ball at the World Cup and Croatia finished as runners up In 2019, Messi won the award ahead of Virgil Van Dijk who had won the Champions League and was the best player in the competition In 2021, Messi won the Copa Del Rey and won the Ballon d'Or In his defense, people said he won the Copa America, that is why he won the Ballon d'Or Jorginho won the Champions League and the Euros, he came third In 2023, Messi won the Ballon d'Or over Haaland. I might not even have issues with that You see the hypocrisy that is wrapped around Messi's career I always give him credit for his incredible talent and achievements in the game but the favouritism that shielded his career is enormous

@tobiclemson @Biblet_Quinn @RayToluAyo The both won trophies, so we will move to individual performances over the year in which Messi was clear.

@kingrio6102 @Biblet_Quinn @RayToluAyo You said trophy. I give you the trophy. Now na goals 😂😂 He was joint top highest goal scorer at the World Cup. Second best player by voting. World Cup alone

@tobiclemson @Biblet_Quinn @RayToluAyo When sneidjer won those trophies, how many goals did he have

@Biblet_Quinn @kingrio6102 @RayToluAyo La Liga and the Supercopa? A Supercopa with 3 goals is the achievement you’re shouting? 😂 Sneijder won Serie A, the Coppa Italia, the Champions League, the Supercoppa,and the Club World Cup. He also led his country to the World Cup final and finished as a joint-top scorer. Ahh.

@tobiclemson @RayToluAyo Messi won 4 trophies in total in 2022.

@kingrio6102 @RayToluAyo Okay, let's say Ribery deserves Ballon d'Or that year he won treble. Why shouldn't Alvarez win Ballon d'Or 2022? was part of the Treble winning Man City team and also won the World Cup. Judging by the logic of trophies.

@tobiclemson @RayToluAyo Let me save you the headache

@kingrio6102 @RayToluAyo I’m not. I was trying to make you see that even with the fact that Ronaldo didn’t win a trophy that season he was good that season and he also deserved it. It is an individual award. Individually he was fantastic.

@tobiclemson @RayToluAyo Now check the stats for individual brilliance for them since 2008 till date, and show me how many awards should both of them should have?

Haaaa

@chiefiloba @Precious7310 But he didn’t pursue you when you had cyber cafe. Lmao

@kingrio6102 @Precious7310 The later

Greed rarely ends well... Just look at how it turned out😩

@Biblet_Quinn @tobiclemson @RayToluAyo I wonder o

@tobiclemson @kingrio6102 @RayToluAyo Messi had the most goals with 2 trophies but according to the president of Ronaldo fans that made that post he shouldn’t even have any say lol

@tobiclemson @RayToluAyo While also being top 3 in goal contributions

@tobiclemson @RayToluAyo You’re conflicting yourself. World cup is also a team success for whoever you decided to put against Messi, either Sniedjer, or Iniesta because Messi had more goal contributions than them. In all the awards Messi won, he has never gone trophyless…

@tobiclemson @RayToluAyo Messi 35 goals, 30 assists Haaland 43 goals, 8 assists

@tobiclemson @RayToluAyo Modric scored 2, didn’t win it. My point is, you used goal contribution for Ronaldo in 2013 but couldn’t use the same metric for Messi in 2018? And the 2013 win would feature a player winning it without winning any trophy whatsoever

@kingrio6102 @RayToluAyo It was a World Cup year, and Messi was knocked out in the Round of 16 with just one goal contribution. Modrić led a small country like Croatia to the World Cup final and won the Golden Ball. He also won the Champions League that year. Griezman World Cup final with 4 goals.

@tobiclemson @RayToluAyo The year Modric won it, Messi had the highest goal contribution of all the contenders but came 5th. Care to explain the reason?

@RayToluAyo They keep bringing up 2013. We can argue that one, but Messi has 4 Ballon d’Ors that he didn’t deserve. In 2013, Ribéry scored 1 goal in the Champions League, while Ronaldo scored 12. In the league, Ribéry had about 10/14 goals, while Ronaldo scored 34 goals. Ronaldo —World Cup

@Allezamani Same people that will defend Ronaldo’s 2013 win

If not for FIFA President, Messi should have long retired from football. Imagine getting a Balon d’or in 2010 without scoring a single goal in the world cup.

@chiefiloba @Precious7310 Faith related or prejudice?

@Precious7310 Na so My Yoruba landlord take pursue me because I converted my cyber cafe business to bet9ja shop.

@PhutiSemenya14 It goes both ways though but with bias, you see what you want to see.

The difference between Messi and Ronaldo is that when Ronaldo scores, the world talks about Ronaldo; wen Ronaldo doesn't score, the world still talks about Ronaldo; wen Messi doesn't score, the world talks about Ronaldo; wen Messi scores, the world continues to talk about Ronaldo

@BLOODTONIC57587 @TheAmenReigns What about 2013?

@TheAmenReigns They will never reply to this FIFA always shifting goal post for Messi

Yes the year he won his 2nd consecutive Ballon D’or. Sneijder won the UCL and made the World Cup final but he was snubbed. Iniesta won the World Cup with Spain and was Messi’s teammate but he was sidelined as well. Barca didn’t even make the UCL Final. If you compare the 2010 and 2022 Ballon D’or standards, you would be extremely confused. I love Messi’s style of play but I would be a fool to not see how much he has been favored his whole career. 😂😂😂

@Drtcnwakile @lexisrenis You need more proofs?

@lexisrenis I said? Show me where I said it

This is a useless record. Nobody told Messi to be bad at penalties
