The only time they came 1st in anything was in Atlanta and Kanu hjad a hand in it.

Celestine Babayaro to both questions,

In case you dont know just ask questions

In the semi finals Okocha was the most useless on the field, Missing a penalty in a crucial moment, spitting and laughing all over.

We dey celebrate 6th ooo, Since thats the best a Nigerian has ever been

WHy wont we celebrate 6th when bros Jay Jay cant even make best 60?

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Missing a penalty is now a crime! didnt Kanu bottle to take one in the semifinal of the nations cup against Senegal in 2002 IN EXTRA TIME

Atleast he stood up for it, am waiting for someone to name me another game

For this comment,you shouldn't talk again.
Against Brazil,who saved us?Okocha almost led us to the abyss in that game.

I still don't understand.No one has put forth a decent argument in favour of Jay-jay or managed to explain his woeful club career,except mention Kanu being used as a substitute. . .everyone is being sentimental about Jay-Jay because he dribbled himself into extinction.

One game in 17 years (in an under 23 competition)

HAS KANU EVER SCORED A NATIONS CUP GOAL[color=#990000][/color]

Irrelevant at best.
Has Marco van Basten scored in the World Cup?
Has George Weah and Abedi Pele been to the World Cup?

Against Brazil with Ronaldo da Lima,Bebeto,Roberto Carlos and Dida among others. . .some of the best in the world at the time. . .
He can go to his grave with that,assuming we agree he never had another good game for Nigeria.
Okocha lost a penalty against this same team and was spitting like a pregnant woman on the pitch.
Name a game where Okocha was trully outstanding at the World stage.

Kanu was so bad ,he kept getting picked for Nigeria all the time. . .

It is comparison na, HE HAS NOT DONE THAT , BUT JAY JAY HAS.

Moreso, KANU WOULDNT BE MISSED AS MUCH AS WE DO MISS JAY JAY'THE MASTER' OKOCHA

The void Okocha left is still open, but Kanu didnt leave any void in my opinion.


^^OKOCHA NIDIEGWU OOOO, OKOCHA NA IDI TOO MUCH OKOCHA, NIGERAIN NUMBER '10' OOO , OKOCHA NA IDI EGWU OOOO, OKOCHA^^^ just singing

Effort matters, Result is more important.
I give it to Kanu for his results.

Many Kanus can spring up but Okochas are rare.

5 tournaments and Nigeria's unofficial best player couldnt make any of the 5 teams of the Tournament (couldnt make the score sheet as well)

How come when CAF shares yearly African footballer of the year awards, they always forget Okocha?

But they remembered Kanu twice.

Even FIFA had Kanu as number 6 while Okocha never made top 40.

Austin Overrated okocha

Against Brazil with Ronaldo da Lima,Bebeto,Roberto Carlos and Dida among others. . .some of the best in the world at the time. . .
He can go to his grave with that,assuming we agree he never had another good game for Nigeria.

Its a shame he couldnt fluke another game,  may be should have joined the Sydney 2000 Olympic team I guess thats his level

Irrelevant at best.
Has Marco van Basten scored in the World Cup?
Has George Weah and Abedi Pele been to the World Cup?

Well Van Basten only went to one world cup, Kanu went to 3, and Van Basten could be forgiven because he won the Golden Boot at Euro 88


george Weah didnt go to the world cup because Liberia never qualified for the world cup but am sure he has a nationc cup goal to his name


Abedi Pele never played in a world cup Kanu played in 3

At U21 level Okocha was useless, Olympics, Okocha was useless, Clubside was horrible, national team, He led to our to the abyys. The only time Okocha was the leader of the team we failed to qualify for the world cup

Okocha cant make nigerias top 10 FACT

The only time Okocha was the leader of the team we failed to qualify for the world cup

I believe Okocha captained the 2002 team

I also believe he was in the 1994 Squad that won in Tunisia


The main fact is Kanu would have to pay his way into any team over the last 10 years

baby-boy:

Why couldn't Jay-jay fluke it from the penalty spot against almighty Brazil?Why was he always shining against the likes of Cameroun,Mali,South Africa and co,but never against Argentina,England, et al?
At u-20 Level in Mauritius AYC 93,Okocha dribbled and Nigeria didn't make it to the semi-finals in a tournament of 8.

baby-boy:

Well Van Basten only went to one world cup, Kanu went to 3, and Van Basten could be forgiven because he won the Golden Boot and Euro 88

Poor him.But a certain tomas Skuravy of then Czechoslovakia has 5 World Cup goals from his solitary appearance at the World Cup.-Italia 90.Oleg Salenko has 6 from one World Cup in 1994.Julius Aghahowa, Garba Lawal all played in one World Cup and scored.Are we then saying van Basten was a fluke because he couldn't perform at the big stage the only time he got there?

baby-boy:

george Weah didnt go to the world cup because Liberia never qualified for the world cup but am sure he has a nationc cup goal to his name

too bad.He's regarded as the best player from Africa but he never got to the World Cup.Okocha was in three world cups and did nowt.

Point in bolded massively ignored by the Jay-jay d/ick riders club.

baby-boy:

Oliseh was captain of the side that qualified for 2002.
Okocha took over after Oliseh and co were thrown out,and what happened?We failed to get past the first round after 2 successive last-16 finishes in the mundial.Another failure by Jay-jay,yet they say he was more important to the national team.
Okocha was a bit-part player in 94.Even Westerhof was so frustrated by his lack of team ethic.Adepoju,Oliha,Oliseh were starters before jayJay. . .

Da Doctor:

@dayokanu, OBVIOUSLY, ITS TOO EARLY FOR YOU TO BE DRUNK, Drop that green bottle.

Bring your facts to the table.

Cos it seems only shallow football fans rate Okocha highly.

All the top clubs and coaches in Europe avoided him like a plague.

I told you that only shallow and uninformed people think okocha is better. See this doesnt even know it was oliseh that led us to qualify for 2002. Okocha took over the team after Mali Nations cup.

Anyone with above average football knowledge knows Okocha cant be rated highly he is more of a circus player and never productive

Leave these clowns.
Even after Okocha took over,the Super Eagles couldn't get past the first round for the first time in history in 2002.
Yet people tell us he was more important than Kanu.
When asked to lead the eagles in 2006,ordinary Angola topped our group.
His career in Super Eagles is nothing more than ordinary.Julius Aghahowa,Obafemi Martins were more important than this glorified futsal player,abeg. . .

Okocha  was the most useless captain Nigeria ever had,
As a captain he chose the game to play
As a captain he missed his way to a crucial game against Angola
As a captain he did not qualify Nigeria to world cup
As a captain he did not show good example

Humility of Kanu is superb
Little wonder wen people felt it was finished for him he did wonders


Okocha was not serious in his hey day little wonder no big club look for him.

Kanu was more of serious footballer. In Arsenal it was nepotism that made Wenga
to bench him. Check record, except you are just watching football.

Check history of qualifying for Nation/World Cup you will agree with me that Kanu performed well compare to Okocha.

Jay Jay Okocha is the most useless and unserious captian the Super Eagles have had in their history.

How can you compare someone who has never won CAF's highest individual award with another who has done so TWICE?
This argument is getting silly.

Every top coach in Europe avoided Okocha like a plague can they all be stuuupiid?

CAF avoided his name in Player of the year

FIFA avoided him in WPOTY

UEFA avoided him in Ballon D or

Champions league avoided him in list of winners

League titles avoided him in the list of lifters

Only relegation teams embraced him

El hadji Diuof is a much better player than Okocha.

In the list of African players of all time, kanu would be top 10 while Okocha cant make top 50

^^^^^
Abeg,like i said earlier,this is a no-brainer.
Okocha is a failed player.Only good for futsal.

[size=35pt]KANU ROCK

OKOCHA SUCK[/size]

The record are there for objectivity analysis

As a captain he missed his way to a crucial game against Angola

Thats testimony,


Okocha didnt play in Launda Angola! Super Eagles lost the game,

Okocha missed the game in Rwanda! Super Eagles still couldnt win,


So my question is What was Kanu doing?

was it too much for him to grab the team by the scruff of the neck and lead them on in the absence of Jay Jay?

You obviously dont know much about football, You need to update your knowledge before we continue,


Were you not the one asking those ridiculous questions above?

baby-boy:

Wow,

Please tell me who scored in the nerve racking quarter final game against Mexico?

who started the come back in the final?

I thought as much,

You need to read and learn about football before coming to spew rubbish on the internet.

You are lucky you didnt try this with Sagamite else

It would be extremely hard for me to take the word of someone who said Kanu's peak was a couple of years after playing in the Under 17 tournament as Gospel,


Theirs a strong chance of you filling up a hot-air balloon before mid-night

This statement is borderline reetarded.

Ronaldos won back to back WPOTY at age 19-21. Just 2 yrs beyond his 17th birthday.

What has age got to do with Peak years?

Who doesnt know in football some players are early bloomers e.g Kluivert, Ronaldo, Kanu, Del Piero, Messi??, and some are late e.g Zidane, Drogba, Nistelrooy, Xavi, LucaToni

Ronaldos won back to back WPOTY at age 19-21. Just 2 yrs beyond his 17th birthday.

Gosh!!!!!!!!!!! man you sound like scratched Bonny M CD

So because he won the WPOTY very young that means he has peaked

So when Roger Millar won the African player of the year in 1976, was that at his peak? (Think carefully before you answer that question)
