🚨 Jude Bellingham at this World Cup:
• 6 goals, 1 assist, 4 MOTM, 6 games.
• First player since Maradona to score at a brace at the Azteca.
• First player to score B2B braces in K/O stage since Maradona
• The youngest player to score B2B braces in K/O stage after Pelé.
• Scored more goals than Rooney at MAJOR INT tournaments.
• The first midfielder to score 5+ goals for England at the World Cup.
The truth is Ronaldo fans are not scared.
Ronaldo won the Ballon D’or first
Ronaldo won a champions league first
Ronaldo won an international trophy first.
He’s got nothing to prove anymore.
Ronaldo is about to face Spain for the 4th time in 6 World Cups: 2006, 2010, 2018, 2026
He has also faced Brazil in 2010, Germany in 2014, and England in 2006.
Meanwhile Messi has played 6 World Cups and still hasn’t faced Spain, England, Brazil, or Italy once.
But we’re supposed to pretend the paths are the same?
I’ve never in my 20 years of watching football see a player with zero G/A win a MOTM award over a player who just scored two goals and a player who made two assists and kept a clean sheet.
This is new unseen unmatched levels of PR.
Your citizenship really determines so much for you. As a Nigerian, your matter long ooo.
I had a Saudi classmate when I was fling my Masters. He explained to me that all Saudis in the UK were fully sponsored by the government. I asked what his plan was after school, he said he was going back home to take up a job. He didn't even like the UK. I don't blame him, he struggled with the language and culture.
I had Korean classmates (those ones are always rich and clean). No one was staying back or had plan to.
I saw Chinese classmate 2 years later. He had started a business with his babe. He told me the government encourages them to take loan to invest abroad. I thought we were just having a discussion. I didn't know he had his plan mapped out.
My Spanish friend (the only one I still talk to), I asked him when he was going to pick up his British passport since he was eligible for it having been in UK for many years, he said he didnt need it that his passport takes him where he needs to go. I spoke to him recently and he said he is looking to leave the UK soon. He wants to return home to Barcelona. That reminds me, he has been inviting me to Barcelona 🤦♂️
At the start of Covid, my Canadain flatmate packed his bag and left. He told me he would finish his program from there. I once asked how he was paying for his program (Law Undergraduate), he said he took a loan from the bank in Canada.
Then you look at Nigerians- we are always looking for how to stay back at all cost because home offers nothing. Conversation always centred around sponsorship jobs - even if it is care job. This is after working 12 hours shift through out your Masters to pay for your fees and cover for your living expenses. People are even so desperate, they are paying 10k to 12k for sponsorship job just to stay back.
Today, I had the honour of commissioning the LAMECO Flyover Bridge in Osogbo, another landmark project delivered by our administration through a local content policy that empowers our indigenous engineers, contractors and suppliers while ensuring world-class quality.
This bridge marks the beginning of the commissioning of several completed mega projects across Osun State by our administration. From roads and bridges to health, education and water infrastructure, we remain committed to rebuilding our state with transparency, equity and without mortgaging the future of generations yet unborn.
I appreciate the Ataoja of Osogbo, HRM Oba Jimoh Oyetunji Larooye II, for his kind words and unwavering support for the development of Osogbo. I urge all residents to protect this public asset and continue to work with us as we build a Greater Osun together.

Brother, he has 30 assists here already as at April, now he has 5 at the World Cup which should make it 35, but one way or the other they have deducted 3 just so he won’t break the Messi record😂😂😂
