But how can you not put Okocha, a top 10 dribbler in the world of all-time in a 5man list of Africa?

No make me laugh, bros
Okocha is an attacking Midfielder (No.10). He is not a striker. Its usually No.9 that is called a striker, sometimes No.8

Can you read the subject of this discussion again? Maybe you will understand that we are talking strikers not midfielder or defenders.

Where is Rashid Yekini?

Even Okocha, a top 10 dribbler in the world of all-time depsite being an attacking midfielder should make this list grin

No make me laugh, bros

The list said best strikers so okocha can't be there. Okocha is not a striker but a midfielder. Moreover , okocha is not a prolific goal scorer but a midfield maestro. So there is no business okocha has with the list up there.

Well, let's just give it to Messi because he's proven himself in many ways - dribble, speed, accuracy,passes, assist, goals etc, but all the same, I personally can't give it to mercy 100%. The likes of Okocha and Ronaldinho are also rare football legends.

Your comment is about a defender who won world footballer of the year.

We are analysing Africa's best strikers. What is your point?

Well, the headline have been modified. This isn't what it says when it was posted. It was initially "5 African All time best players".... Earlier set of comments should let you know

You just have dt gene in ur DNA dt provokes. Where did u see dt he ran mad and died wretched? If the family sue u to court for libel now, u'll begin to claim victimization.
Who does dt?
must ur life revolve around hate, bigotry, propaganda and deceit?
May God forgive you.

my dear don't pay d kid any mind.
You can do a ggl search (abt d cause of his death and his net worth at death) to clear the air.
I'm not surprised the op didn't include yekini. The same ppl dt will see black and call it white will Still use d same mouth to accuse others of nepotism.
Even KANU sef will be shocked at his inclusion ahead of yekini.

Without Messi's and Ronaldo's names, the list is Inconclusive.
Please argue with your ex.
Re: 6 Of The Best African Strikers Of All Time by princeade86(m): 5:50am On Sep 30, 2019
I don't know why they always put KANU on the list because to me, the guy just got luck, but not play. imagine striker that has 12 goals for national team, across 85 appearances, why jay jay, midfielder, has 14 goals in 74 appearances. across all his clubs, he scored just 108 goals in 404 appearances.
Re: 6 Of The Best African Strikers Of All Time by sharone21(f): 5:55am On Sep 30, 2019
theowane:
Yekini should replace Kanu on that list. Kanu was not as prolific as Yekini at both club and country. Kanu played two world cups and two nations cups and scored no goal.

I disagree.....Yekinin was only a finisher not necessarily a striker....KANU was a GAME CHANGER, it was hazardous not to start KANU on time in any match and even if the Coach failed to start him, he ought to be included....I still remember the role he played( also Okocha) when we were 4:0 down with the Brazilian side and later we won by penalty shootout.
