Most of the media coverage surrounding the “humiliation” arrival checks of players in the US is pure propaganda.

.@SecRubio (last week): "We have no problem with the athletes... But what we're not going to allow is for them to embed in their delegation a bunch of people that we know have nothing to do with athletics and have ties to the IRGC."

I really feel for you after Ronaldo hangs up his boots sha. The day he retires, all of us will immediately shift our focus back to our countries of birth 😹

If the govt releases 500 million to solve a regional banditry problem, here’s the harsh reality of where it actually goes:
💸 The Executive Level: "Administrative fees" and political kickbacks take the first bite.
🏗️ The Procurement Branch: Fake or inflated contracts buy 40 low-quality trucks but charge the state for 100.
🎖️ The Top Command: Operational funds for fuel, feeding, and allowances get heavily skimmed.
🪖 The Frontline: By the time it reaches the actual soldiers, it’s crumbs. They face bandits under-equipped while commanders pocket the rest through "ghost soldier" salaries.
The biggest tragedy is that the Crisis is a business model. Why completely eliminate the bandits when solving the problem means the security funds stop flowing next year?
It’s not a war meant to be won; it's a war meant to be managed. 🤷🏾‍♂️💼

Arewa alone has consumed from our budget at least 15 Trillion Naira between 2010 to date in direct intervention due to insecurity!

We are not talking allocation to states and LGAs.

We are not talking about Capex

We are not talking about Military Hardware and deployments.

We are not talking about Human cost, especially to our military that has now turn to fair game because of this protracted insecurity in Arewa.

We are not talking about Foreign aid in millions of dollars that IDPs never actually see.

Just raw government immediate interventions cause by the insecurity since 2010.

Unless you benefit from it, or are a very wicked human being, I do not see how that mass weddings or mass Hajj sponsorship should not worry you.

Your problem is; Why aren’t they pointing to the South too? Are you for real? Are you sick? Is solving your problem now a competition? Like if SOUTH SOUTH HAVE MILLITANT, WE MUST HAVE BOKO HARAM, or SINCE SOUTH EAST HAVE IPOB, WE MUST HAVE BANDITS?

Omo you are sick.

عندي قناعة ان الحرب بين كريستيانو وميسي من طرف واحد ، 90% من مشجعين كريس لو تسألهم ميسي متى آخر مرة لعب ولا متى آخر مرة سجل ما بيجاوبون لكن بالجانب الآخر 100% من مشجعين ميسي يعرفون أدق التفاصيل عن كريس

طبعًا هذا والمنافسه انتهت من 18/12/22 على كلامهم

You can’t find Portugal in this kind of list, but Argentina is top 5 footballing nation in history, People really don’t understand what Cristiano Ronaldo has done for Portugal. It doesn’t need a World Cup to validate it. Portugal was never one of football’s traditional superpowers. They produced great players before him, but they weren’t viewed in the same category as nations like Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Italy, or France. Ronaldo changed that forever. You can’t even put them in that conversation, but look at it now, he’s single-handedly change how we view them, and the qualities of players they will produce after him.

For nearly 10 years now, every major tournament started with Portugal being considered a genuine contender, and that’s because of one man ……. Cristiano Ronaldo.

Before Ronaldo, Portugal had moments. With Ronaldo, Portugal became an era.

He’s the face of the nation, broke every scoring record imaginable, carried different generations of players, and helped deliver Portugal’s first major international trophy, now they have 2 more. More importantly, he raised the expectations of an entire country. Portugal don’t enter tournaments hoping for a miracle, they entered expecting to compete with anyone.

That’s a legacy bigger than a single trophy.

Winning a World Cup is often a combination of timing, squad quality, luck, injuries, and circumstance. Transforming the status of an entire footballing nation for twenty years is something far rarer. Ronaldo didn’t just win games for Portugal, he changed how the football world sees Portugal.

When future generations think of Portugal football, it’s one Man that will come to mind first, and that’s why his international legacy stands among the greatest the sport has ever seen.

One of my biggest dreams is to build a company that creates opportunities for women who started later than expected.

Internships and graduate trainee programs for women in their late 20s and 30s. Remote jobs for women in their 40s and 50s.

“Ronaldo is just hard work but Messi is raw talent” what bias can do ehn 😀

[OSMOSES😎 @Osmoses_1]

This “naturally gifted” narrative is one of the most misleading takes in football.

When someone reaches a level that seems impossible, people suddenly act as if talent alone explains everything. Cristiano Ronaldo did not win five Ballon d’Or awards and score over 950 goals just because he worked hard. If hard work alone was enough, football would be full of players with those numbers.

What separates the truly great is the combination of elite talent and an elite work ethic. Ronaldo is not proof that hard work beats talent. He is proof of what happens when extraordinary talent meets extraordinary dedication.

People need to stop using Lionel Messi as the example of someone who succeeded purely because of natural talent. Messi’s genius is obvious, but talent alone does not sustain excellence for two decades, win multiple Ballon d’Or awards, or keep a player at the very top of the game year after year. That level of consistency demands sacrifice, professionalism, and an obsession with improvement. We've seen talented players waste away and never attain this height because they lack the consistency and hard work to replicate such heights.

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one. Messi is one of the most naturally gifted footballers ever, but he is also one of the hardest working. The idea that he simply relied on talent while others relied on effort is a lazy and inaccurate way of looking at greatness. The greatest players combine both at a level most people cannot comprehend.
