Argentina is the world champion and in great form m. All the strong European teams are avoiding Argentina’s path, to avoid getting knocked out before the final. If I were Ronaldo, Iwould pray I go through France’s path which parades familiar opponents that Portugal can beat.
Women are naturally designed by providence to destroy every man who’s emotionally attached to them; to destroy weak men who chase them instead of God and their purpose. A man who must be great must never be emotionally attached to any woman. That’s your power to succeed.
This was Messi with Javier Pastore. A simple pass back to Messi, who did all the hardwork, was what was required, but he selfishly shot at goal almost making a total mess of the opportunity. Messi took many falls. Now, we have CR7 who wants the glory and not the fall.
The day you realize people are more willing to give more to the Rich than to the Poor, you will stop wallowing in self-pity and sob story and go out to up your bread.
By this logic, what Eze did with Crystal Palace is far greater than what Ronaldo did with Man U and what Dembele did with PSG is far better than what Ronaldo did with Madrid in UCL. Do you now see how unsound this argument is?
To be honest, what Cristiano Ronaldo has done for Portugal is far more than what Lionel Messi has done for Argentina. It’s bigger than trophies, even though Ronaldo has won three for them.
Argentina was already one of football’s superpowers long before Messi arrived. They had won World Cups, produced legends, and were expected to compete for every major tournament. Messi added to that incredible history and delivered the trophy that completed his legacy. But we’re talking about top 3 greatest Football nation here.
Portugal’s story is different. Ronaldo didn’t just win trophies, he changed the perception of an entire football nation. Before him, Portugal was respected, but not feared. Today, they are viewed as a football powerhouse, a country expected to challenge for every major tournament. An entire generation grew up believing Portugal belonged at the top because Ronaldo made it normal.
That’s why many fans see his impact as something beyond medals. He gave a small footballing nation an identity, confidence, and global relevance. Trophies can be counted, but changing the ambition and status of a country lasts for decades.
When people talk about greatness, they often focus on who won the World Cup. But transforming the trajectory of a nation, inspiring generations, and making millions believe they can compete with the traditional giants is a legacy that goes far beyond a single trophy.
We don’t realize how hard this is. It is very rare to see power this submissive, this humble. You cannot fake it. Power brings out the beast in people; it corrupts and the absolute one corrupts so absolutely that you might think you are equal to God. And there is Messi.
🚨 Lionel Scaloni: "How did Messi communicate his presence in the World Cup? I simply sent him a message. He told me that he would wait for the squad announcement and that he would be among the called-up players, that was all. So I told him: ‘Alright, you’re in the squad,’ and that was the end of it.
"We all expected that he might make some kind of announcement and I was probably the first to think he would. But in the end, he did what any player would do, he waited for the coach’s call-up.
"Honestly, it gave me a lot of peace of mind when he told me he wasn’t going to make any announcement and that he would simply wait for the list of selected players. And that’s exactly what happened.
"I only contact him when I feel the timing is right. At that moment, some time ago, when the squad list was practically decided on our end, we told him and that was his response.”
6 years later, there has been no new dawn; it has rather gone from night to nightmare.
I know prayer works on individual level, not sure it works for nations collectively.
Today, Sunday, 2nd of February, 2020, members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God led by her General Overseer, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, embarked on a prayer walk that will usher in a new dawn in our dear country, Nigeria.
“When it gets to our own, I hope you people will rise to the occasion” You would think he’s talking about spread of development, but he’s talking about kidnapping, that he knows there will be more kidnappings in FCT & when it happens, other regions should also protest.
This government will do everything possible to ensure the safe return of the kidn@pp£d v!ctims. Teachers were kidn@pp£d in Abuja before, and nobody went on strike. So when it gets to our own people, people should also rise to the same occasion”

Even as a lawyer, this order is as useless as it sounds. It’s akin to compelling a woman to sleep with you. If it ever gets to a point your wife no longer finds you attractive enough to sleep with you, file for a divorce. It’s a chore sleeping with a woman who’s not interested.
As a couple, the denial of sex by your spouse is a good ground to file for divorce. But don't always rush to file for divorce. Instead, first file for "restitution of conjugal rights" which is an order by the court compelling your spouse to resume sexual relations with you.
