when Cristiano Ronaldo was dominating Europe and their fav retired from Int’l football, they never admitted Ronaldo as the GOAT, but look at how you’re disgracing yourself everywhere.
I’m glad there are billions of people off Twitter that still have common sense of loyalty 🫶🏾❤️
Okay banter & agenda aside, a very honest question:
If you Messi fans did not concede Ronaldo was GOAT when he was running rampage & Messi was crashing out of international trophies, why do you expect Ronaldo fans to do so now?
10 marks.
I am a Ronaldo fan
My argument is simple: I value longevity, adaptation, individual responsibility, elite-level performance across different environments, big-game scoring, physical transformation, and the ability to remain decisive for an extraordinary length of time.
Ronaldo has:
• More career goals.
• More Champions League goals.
• More Champions League knockout goals.
• More Champions League titles as the main attacking superstar of his team.
• More international goals.
• More international appearances.
• More hat-tricks.
• More goals with his weaker foot.
• More headed goals.
• More goals outside the penalty box.
• A remarkable record of succeeding in multiple leagues and countries.
He was a superstar in England, Spain, Italy and Portugal. He changed his game completely as he aged: winger, explosive dribbler, inside forward, devastating goalscorer, penalty-box striker. The fact that he could become arguably the greatest goalscorer in football history after losing some of the physical qualities that made him famous is one of the most impressive things about his career.
And then there is the Champions League.
Messi is an incredible footballer and arguably the greatest natural playmaker ever. But Ronaldo's Champions League résumé is ridiculous. He is the competition's all-time leading scorer and has repeatedly produced his best football in the biggest knockout games. When the question is: "Who do I want when everything is on the line?" Ronaldo's case is extremely strong.
Messi's supporters also cannot selectively use international football. Before 2021, Messi had lost the 2014 World Cup final and the 2015 and 2016 Copa América finals. After the 2016 Copa América final, he even announced his retirement from international football before returning.
That doesn't erase what he eventually achieved. The Copa América and World Cup absolutely count. But the earlier failures and the emotional pressure surrounding Argentina are part of the story too.
And yes, Messi's PSG period deserves criticism. He joined a team with Neymar and Mbappé and PSG still failed to win the Champions League. Messi won Ligue 1, but his overall PSG spell was nowhere near the level expected from a player regarded as the greatest ever. Ronaldo, by contrast, went to Juventus at 33, won the league twice, became the club's top scorer in his first season, and continued producing at an elite level in a new league.
The argument is not that Messi is bad. That would be stupid.
The argument is that Ronaldo's greatness is more difficult to replicate.
Messi is probably the better pure playmaker.
Ronaldo is the greater scorer, competitor, physical phenomenon, big-game goalscorer and example of sustained individual excellence across different environments.
So when people say, "Messi is obviously better and there is no debate," I totally disagree.
There is absolutely a debate.
Cristiano Ronaldo has one of the strongest GOAT cases football has ever seen.
You'll never make it look like the World Cup is the decider.
In a game where it's a WIN or GO HOME under intense pressure.
Yesterday, Today and Forever
MY ANSWER WILL ALWAYS BE RONALDO!
I watched prime Messi in 2009
I watched prime Messi in 2010
I watched prime Messi in 2011
I watched prime Messi in 2012
I watched prime Messi in 2015
After all that, I still choose RONALDO as the GREATEST OF ALL TIME… You think I was blind?
I didn’t accept Messi those days, and you think because of a 7-game tournament and 2 assists against England I’ll change my mind? 😂
That's because you let them dictate the argument.
I've said this countless times, you can only lose to a Messi fan if you allow them defeat you psychologically with the World Cup gimmick. You don't allow them, you go along with the Champions League, knockout goals, trophies, final goals and performances.
If they try to tell you that you should win the World Cup first, tell them they didn't accept Ronaldo in 2019 when Messi had zero international trophies and neither did they accept Maradona and Pele above Messi back then, so why should you accept Messi now?
Their fans were in total depression from 2016- 2020 at least and their GOAT 🐐 was in his prime years 😂😂😂 it's not the same as Ronaldo at 38-41 years old, there's a big difference.
If you allow them gaslight you, it's on you.
Lionel Messi is not even the second greatest, I actually see him as fourth and it's not hate, it's just how I see it because he retired for his national team in his prime, no one can defend that, it's a disgrace.
Know this and know peace 😂👍🏿
@Morris_Monye Trophies don’t dictate taste. You can admire Messi’s achievements while preferring Ronaldo’s athleticism, mentality and style of play. Liking a player is subjective no stat sheet forces emotional connection. Preference wins. so allow people do their thing,they’ve both achieved
Once you learn how to shop directly from China, E.g Temù or shien your wardrobe changes completely. Call me cheap I don't care I ain't rich, I don't do fraud.😭
It's knowing what to search for.
Here's my style after making plenty of mistakes.
1. T-shirts:
Skip 100% polyester unless you're buying gym wear.
Instead, search:
• 100% Cotton
• Combed Cotton
• Heavyweight Cotton
• 240-300 GSM Cotton
• Premium Cotton
• Mercerized Cotton
The heavier the GSM, the thicker and more premium the shirt usually feels.
2. Jeans:
Denim Jeans
Temu is surprisingly good for denim if you know what to search.
Search:
• Denim Jeans
• Cotton Denim
• Raw Denim
• Selvedge Denim (if available)
• 98% Cotton + 2% Elastane
• 99% Cotton
Avoid jeans with high polyester content. The more cotton, the better they'll age and feel.
3. Body-hug clothing:
Search:
• Ribbed Knit
• Modal
• Viscose Blend
• Cotton-Spandex Blend
They hold their shape much better than cheap polyester.
4. Hoodies
Search:
• 400 GSM
• French Terry
• Cotton Fleece
• Heavyweight Hoodie
5. Chains
Search:
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Titanium Steel
• PVD Gold Plated
• Vacuum Plated
These are far more resistant to fading than ordinary fashion jewelry.
6. Earrings
Search:
• 925 Sterling Silver
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Hypoallergenic
• Moissanite (if you're buying stones)
7. Scarves
Search:
• Mulberry Silk
• Silk Blend
• Cashmere Blend
• Wool Blend
• Viscose
Avoid the shiny, thin polyester scarves if you're after a premium look.
8. Loafers
Search:
• Genuine Leather
• Cow Leather
• Full Grain Leather (rare but worth looking for)
• Rubber Outsole
9. Sneakers
Search:
• Rubber Outsole
• EVA Midsole
• Breathable Mesh
• Leather Upper
• Stitched Sole
Pictures lie a lot
The description usually tells the truth.
Here's how I shop:
1. Read the material composition before anything else.
2. Sort by Most Orders or Best Selling, not cheapest.
3. Only buy products with lots of reviews or pictures or even better when a Nigerian has purchased it before they always tell the truth.
4. Read the 1-star reviews first. They'll tell you what the seller won't.
5. Look at customer photos, not the product photos.
6. Check the weight of the product. Better quality clothing is often heavier.
7. Read the size chart. Don't assume your Nigerian size matches.
8. If the title has words like "luxury," "premium," or "designer" but the material is 100% polyester, not everything but still move on.
Your best friend isn't the product picture.
It's the material, the reviews, and the customer photos.
That's how you separate the gems from the junk.
I hope this help.
Things are to expensive for a country this poor.
I think its Yahoo boys that's making some of you clowns
You are a security man
You see me 10 times, you beg and hail me 10 times
You sell shoes 85k I can get on Temu for 50k with free delivery
You open a restaurant and use plastic takeaway to sell one plate of Egusi soup for 18k.
Just because Yahoo boys are tipping you everytime you hail them or because Yahoo boys are buying 5$ Chinese sneakers for 85k or because Yahoo boys mostly do not have taste and will accept 18k soup in a black SUP plastic takeaway
That does not mean we are all Yahoo boys
I am not giving you shishi unless you earn it. If you like hail me 1 million times
I will buy my cheap Chinese shoes on Temu and I will not accept an SUP for an 18k soup
English media finally realising they will most likely meet the Argentine corruption somewhere in this competition so they have finally started speaking up . Hypocrites
Are you aware that by every parameter of humanitarian crisis Katsina is at a much worse state than Palestine?
Do you think the life of a fair skinned Muslim in the Middle East is better and more deserving of sympathy than your kins’ in Katsina?
Only in northern Nigeria will a governor spend billions of naira sending people to Saudi Arabia for Hajj and budget billions more for mass weddings while forgetting that are no job opportunities.
Out-of-school children are everywhere, and over 30 million people in the North do not know where their next meal will come from.
Northern people must start holding both past and present leaders accountable. Indigenous northerners must take back their land.
Just remembering how Ronaldo scored a World Cup hattrick against Spain and was the last one to do so. Messi scores his hattrick 8 years later then the whole world gave CR7 24 hours to respond. Una don mad o 😂😂
