Okocha Was Like A Maestro Today!

Post by **YUJAM** » Thu Feb 05, 2004 12:17 am

I came home only to see the last 30 minutes of the game on ART. Among the things that stood out in that time was JJ's performance. It was simply masterful. Drag back, flick pass, no look pass, step over moves, 20 yard pass, 30 yard pass, he had it all.. Dude was out there doing his thing like a music conductor thouroughly enjoying the sound being produced by their counducting. Ah, it was beautiful and even I couldn't help but bust a wide smile.. The crowd was liking every moment of it and each of his lovely moves was cheered by a crowd that obviously appreciated world class skill being displayed out there by this true giant of African football. His performance was truly Zidanesque today and on occasion, I figure even the Beninoise he was dribbling must have admired the work of this true artisan of the ball. He was truly in the zone today and for this I say maximum respect.

BTW, after one of JJ's mesmerizing dribbles, he passed to Osaze who sent in a beautiful cross to Abbey, but Abbey missed a sure goal..

Yes...you're absolutely right. He played a superb game today, the star of the game in my opinion. Utaka played well also troubling Benin defense each time he had the ball.

OMY2K-I wrote that JJ was masterful and indeed sublime today and you said to get that crap out of here. Now you are saying he was so good. Did you finally watch the match?

Man, JJ was good. However, going forward the mental lapses in central defense must be addressed.

YUJAM,
I am still waiting to see the replay but I agree with you completely. I look forward to the game. After his last goal for Bolton, that free kick which had big Sam and this forum talking for a day or so, I came to the conclusion that this was Okocha's master period. It really is fair to use terms reserved for artists when describing the development of Okocha as a player. He will do very well this ANC, and possibly bring home the cup. He is the kind of class that I can present to the world.

By the way the ART schedule which is posted in arabic says that the game is replayed at 10:30 tonight. I hate ART. The stupid Arabs (I am Arab and have earned the right to curse them) don't even have a half time show. And most of the announces are dunces except for the Tunisian.

South Africans looked real good against Benin when they met, Coming to think of it, so did Morrocco. I'm trying real hard not to bash.
