michealoluwaseyi:Stop arguing what you don't know. Kanu was part of the Invincibles. FYI, it is Michael not Micheal! |

michealoluwaseyi: KANU nwankwo was arguably the best player in the world in 1996. But oyibo ojoro dey denied him because the previous year another African George Weah had won it. But clearly he was the world best in 1996 Kanu Nwankwo (Nigeria/Ajax) Kanu led the U-23 national team to win the continent’s first gold medal in the Summer Olympic men’s football tournament in 1996 in Atlanta, USA. He won the African Footballer of the Year award twice in 1996 and 1999 but never claimed the Africa Cup of Nations title with the Super Eagles. He could have won the award in 1996 given his achievements with Nigeria and Ajax 1996 where he won the UEFA Champions League were it not for a certain Germany legend called Mathias Sammer. I don't think Nermay Jr. Can will Champions league and 2020 Olympics and not be given a gallon dor 1 Like

Joshrob: Deluded chelsea fans who think football started in 2012 will foolishly compare a sluggish cum non creative midfielder like mikel to PAPILO NWANKWO. Taking a trip down the memory lane, i can stake my curved like banana cock , that john obi mikel won't make the super eagle starting eleven in 1996. 1 Like |

Jokerman:Kaiiiiiiiiiii... you're overrating the okocha I know! Was he a freekick specialist? A great passer of the ball? What shooting technique? All I remember is his dribbling skills...no doubt [b][/b]about that...and only at Bolton did he play purposefully to lift the team...and at Frankfurt while still developing...for Nigeria believe me he didn't push the team enough to consider him better than average. Our problem is we're unduly emotional about who we follow and rate them from our point of view |

Zanas:and ? Like I said , he's just like Messi , can play as a 10 and as an ss and mind u maradona was playing behind buruchaga in the world cup . Dude maradona wasn't a midfielder like lampard , if you say so then it's obvious u never really understood his position. Lampard isn't a 10 , a 10 is a central attacking midfielder who stays upfront a lot and doesn't have much defensive responsibility . |

chiboy1116:I didn't say maradona plays like lampard, I only pointed lampard as another midfielder that likes going forward to score and I said that doesn't make him a forward |

Maradona zidane figo zico iniesta Xavi cryuff Platini modric rivelinho seedorf Lampard ronaldinho pirlo scholes jairzinho George best, di stefano, puskas When you talk about an all round contribution to a team I think okocha will be severely benched by most of these guys up there. If your team were leading 4-0 you might sub okocha in to entertain the fans. Jokerman: |

Damn son, this Nigeria was especially where I had problems with him. The talent was obvious but the use was not purposeful. A less talented footballer like xavi or even xabi Alonso or Toni Kroos were better because they were purposeful with the way they played. No unnecessary entertainment yet they are greats in their own rights. jaszplus12: 1 Like |

As a coach I don’t think you’ll pick okocha before any of those you are laughing about. And I guess you don’t know about the others either. Football is however a game of opinions so we both have rights to our opinions. Jokerman: |
