Benzema replace Ronaldo very well? That's funny, how many champions league were Real Madrid able to win with Benzema after the departure of Christino Ronaldo. When Ronaldo leaves your club you can hardly replace him as he's irreplaceable. Since Ronaldo departure from Manchester united (the first time) Manchester united has found it impossible for him to be replaced and same can be said about other clubs he has played for. Sure you can get another player that'll bring his style of play to the team but not a Ronaldo replacement.

I don't think we can ever see a player as Ronaldo again, his mentality, dedication and determination he brings into games are out of this world. I have no doubt that Benzema has been good for Real Madrid but for how many seasons? This is what makes Ronaldo stand out from the crowd. You can't compare Ronaldo's Real Madrid era with that of Benzema, that's just disrespect on CR7.

I for dun talk 'good for am' but we no supposed they cursed the dead instead wish dem safe rest. So RIP to am but na this kind news dey make me hate the politicians more. Imagine, first him carry him family run while others are left to die in the flood but God no shame him people. I understand say this small small politicians no get much power but if them all join hand, dem fit make the ogas at the top they reason their people and nobi to the hide the money dey chop only them.

We dey lost for this country aswear, I no dey denied the fact say the redesign of the Naira go dey very helpful in combating money laundry and other stuff wey plenty to list here but after them launched the new Naira, will those crimes stop so this new Naira no lose e value too as the previous one.  Any new innovation dey for pipeline wey the government wan launch wey go help the economy or this one na just for another bragging right say na me change the Naira.

After this outstanding performance by Hakim ziyech at the world cup today, it just got me wondering if the player will still insist on his move away from Chelsea or will Graham Potter give him more game time. Hakim Ziyech is a great player and would had been very deadly for Chelsea at the left wing but I still don't understand why Coaches aren't giving the player some playing time. You can't just ignore a player as Ziyech just because of few bad games. You have to give the player time to have some relationship with the squad to fully developed into the team.

I was thinking with the introduction of Graham Potter at Chelsea that things will be different with Hakim ziyech but it seems he's ignoring the player just as Thomas Tuchel was ignoring him during his time at Chelsea. I don't know the vibes Ziyech gives at training that's making coaches not start him at the wings when he's a brilliant winger but I hope things get resolved so that won't result to him leaving Chelsea. He's a brilliant player that we can't afford to lose.

Just because Nigeria didn't make it to the world cup doesn't mean I don't have the right to criticize the other nations that are representing African at the world cup when they play badly. We have criticized Nigeria and the likes of Egypt which are power house of Africa football already in the past for not been represented at Qatar so now if the representing countries aren't doing well we can criticize them as well and maybe next time they won't bother going if they know they won't showcase the Africa football that we all want to watch.

Thankfully Morocco has continue on the success of Senegal and joined the likes of Japan and Saudi Arabia in causing a shocker at the world cup. Morocco just defeated the golden generation (Belgium) 2:0 and it was fun to watch especially as one of my most loved left winger Hakim Ziyech, just gave an awesome performance. As it stands, Morocco are top of their group which is unlikely for an African nation but I'm loving it. I don't think they can miss out of qualifying from the group stage at this point.

Did you watch the match, the Japanese side were actually the better side and deserve to win the game but this is football and things don't work out the way we think. The coach wasn't wrong with his choice of players but they weren't just lucky as it seems they couldn't just pass that final ball to get the ball to someone who can put the ball at the back of the net. Costa Rica were basically defending all through the match and were relying on a counter attack to get attacking.

The result was quite surprising though but I'm happy that Costa Rica actually got a win after they surfer such disgraceful defeat against Spain that ended 7:0. Japan still has a chance of qualifying from the group. We just have to watch how the game tonight ends between Spain and Germany. The only time Japan should start panicking is if Germany was to win that game but I hardly doubt they'll even see a draw.

Pep hasn't won the premier league three times in a row and that'll be a record he'll love to have with his dominate Manchester city team. Last time Pep tried wining, Liverpool spoil that record. Only Manchester united has won both three times and four premier league title in a row. If Pep Manchester city wants to go down in record as one of the dominate side in the premier league then they have to be ready to break this record that Manchester united kept years back.

Pep has his eyes on the premier league title as well as the champions league and he'll love to win them both with other trophys. Can Pep Manchester city team win both tournament, the answer is yes as Pep has an indepth team squad that players on the Manchester city bench are guaranteed starters if they weren't playing for Manchester city.

Read my statement again, I didn't say they needed Zidane or Ronaldo to lift the trophy but said, the last time they were favorite and nobody could disagree was when both individuals were at the club. Then they were a force and it even resulted to them lifting the trophy three times in a roll. After both individuals left, Madrid lost their respect and fell short of winning the trophy after the likes of Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Chelsea won the title.


Seems you're forgetting that Manchester city just acquired a goal scoring mechine named Haaland not too long ago and the guy is breaking records after records and also PSG has the likes of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe all on top form. Both clubs weren't as complete as they are now during previous seasons of the champions league. How can Real Madrid be favorite when the bookmarkers aren't even favoring Real Madrid winning over Liverpool in the round of 16 fixture.

Assuming Argentina was to draw this match then I would had said, they don't have any hope of progressing to the next stage but after that Messi opener I think Messi is ready for this tournament and so is Argentina. You should know that Argentina is a very strong football nation and I think they're rated 3rd highest country in the recent FIFA ranking just behind Brazil and Belgium which are obvious superior. South America nations are known for the beautiful style of football and Argentina been one of them does have a chance to defeat  poland on the 30th.

Don't let the Argentina defeat to Saudi Arabia spoil your mind, even champion get defeated sometimes and that's what make the game interesting to watch as the underdogs can pull off surprises like that. You can see how happy the Saudis are as they defeated a football gaint. Messi just got his first open play goal today, let see what Christino Ronaldo can do against Uruguay tomorrow.

That's because Thomas Tuchel don't give young players chances to build up trust and integrate into the team. If Thomas Tuchel was still the coach of Chelsea, Trevoh Chalobah would had been sold just like the likes of Tammy Abraham, Tomori and the other youngsters that Thomas Tuchel chase away. But thankfully with Graham Potter and Boehly we can rebuild trust in the youngster again and give them a chance to show the world what they're capable of doing.

Chelsea has the best academy in Europe and produced some of the best young footballers in the world but yet our previous coach didn't utilized any of them after they won him the champions league during his first season in charge of the club. With Trevoh Chalobah contract extension completed, I believe the player will be focus now on his craft ones the season resumes and he'll be fully fit since he isn't currently playing at the world cup.

Calling players like Jay-Jay okocha and trophy in the same sentence is funny, because that guy basically didn't win anything major but just wasted his career dancing around the field. The other players you mentioned are goated but okocha is just leaving off the fact of him been popular and coming for Nigeria with football fans population. His stats are also ridiculous but I understand that then it wasn't about the stats but way of play and how you made the game enjoyable to the audiences but still that doesn't win you games.

Senegal vs Ecuador is going to be an interesting feature indeed but I don't think Senegal will have much challenges in that game. The Senegalese team should win that game flawlessly. Tunisia on the other hand were a disgrace. They just wasted the Africa slot at the tournament. I'm sure teams like Egypt or Nigeria would had done better then them. I won't be surprised if the lose the last game as well. They have nothing to play for again but just enjoy their last game at Qatar.

Writing is one easy thing to do but will you put your money where your mount is? Bears give people reasons to reason like this but will they kept to their promises in the bull market when everything seems to be giving people profit. One thing about altcoins investment is that, there'll always be one better than the one you're thinking will last forever and they can just disappear from the market without much been done. Altcoins has given people some decent profits in the last years but they have done more harm to a large range of speculators as the losses are always more than those profiting.

Altcoins are best for speculations and trading, unfortunately they have become a part of the industry so if you want to get yourself involved then it should only be through trading and short term investment and not as long term investment options. Your only focus in the industry is to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible and if trading altcoins can generate you funds to buy and hold Bitcoin then you can do so but don't ever think altcoins can replace Bitcoin.

Before I give my suggestions, I'll love to ask you some questions. What do you consider your freelancer job as? Do you consider them as mian Job or side Job. If your freelancer job is a side job then focus on investing as it's obvious you already have a main job that take most of your time and adding a business to that won't be recommended as you can't jungle them all which will lead to you losing out. But if your freelancer job is your main job then you can start up a business along with that and with time you can shift focus to your business to make it a main job that you give more attention while you turn your freelancer job to a side John.

Irrespective of all this, you won't be doing yourself anyharm by turning in some funds into investing in Bitcoin and holding for long term. Don't make investing your full time job but whenever there's an extra cash, save them in investing in Bitcoin. This is the surest thing to do now as in 5-10 years time, Bitcoin will be trading at outrageous price that you won't forgive yourself if you didn't get you hands on them now.

No be lie you talk but nobi Nigeria we dey. If you make all the money wey politicians dun steal useless, that one no go just make dem still more next time they get the opportunity and this time around dey go comot the money for naira carry am go dollars and that way talking money out of the economy instead of putting money through investment in the country. Same thing goes for the money obtained through illegal means, this one no go just increase the security threat of the nation making kidnappers going back to their old ways to demand ransom and causing nuisance.

Assuming we dey assured of the security of the nation then their plans for come into great effect but as usual we dey only get better plans for theoretical form but we no dey fit execute am as e no dey ever work. Here no be America or the western world. Just because something work dat side no mean say e go work here, we no get the capacity to execute their kind plans and anybody wey understand this go sabi how to carry this country go forward. China understand say the western world doing no go favour dem so dey lock demselves out dey use their own style and today them dey just one step behind to dominate the world.

I am so happy for Trevoh Chalobah, he has been on the sidelines for so long, he's a brilliant player but wasn't given the opportunity by Thomas Tuchel to play for his boyhood club which Potter is now doing. One of the things that surprise me with Thomas Tuchel was his decision to bench Trevoh Chalobah and go buy a player like Fofana, putting Trevoh and Fofana side by side, I'll pick Trevoh as he seems like the more complete defender to me and he has proven that numerously on the pitch. At some point he had a long lasting record of not losing any game he started for Chelsea but that record got broken recently although that's not an issue as record get broken and new ones get set.

This six years deal is a big one for Trevoh Chalobah and one that favor the clubs as they're assumed of having their players for longtime which means the coach will still have the players he's building now for long term. Chelsea just have to resolved Mason Mount contract next so we have all our youngsters contract settled and we can focus on the league ones the world cups tournament is over. What do you guys think about Chalobah's contract extension, Was he worth it or the club is making a big mistakes extending his contract when they should be out their looking for better defenders to sign?

Once again England wants to throw away their chances to win th world cup, why won't they be able to win USA that doesn't even like playing football as they're more of a America football nation and basketball. Southgate has been the cancer in the England squad because it just doesn't make sense that a squad as talented as the England squad doesn't have any trophy to their name. We have some of the finest players playing in the premier league in the England squad so it just doesn't make sense that they aren't delivery when  they meet team that are average.

Group A is now looking very interesting to me as it seems all three nation in the top 3 position has a chance of progressing from the group stage after the 1-1 draw against the Netherlands and Ecuador. Now Senegal will have to play Ecuador in the last game and anyone who wins will progress from the group stage as the Netherlands is guaranteed a spot in the round of 16 as they'll be playing Qatar and they're guarantee a win. It'll be very shameful for Qatar as they'll be the first nation to host a world cup and loss all game.
