Jay-Jay Okocha is Overated!

Makanaky · Post by **Makanaky** » Tue Apr 27, 2004 1:34 pm

I honestly don't understand why Okocha is held in such high regard by so many on CE, ahead of such amazing talents as Daniel Amokachi,Finidi George(in his Prime), Rashidi Yekini, Emmanul Ammunike(Both former APOY's a feat JJ can only dream of). I will admit to admiring JJ's party tricks, and freekicks( who can forget that freekick against the IL's or the one he scored for Bolton in the EPL) but he gets too many props here. While Nigerian greats such as the ones I have mentioned above don't get their proper dues.

Even when you measure JJ's achievments against the likes of Ikpeba, Kanu and Oliseh he still comes up short.

I think too many people have been seduced by Okocha's party tricks.

What have u been smoking my friend?And u believe that Eto 'o is better than Okocha? Eto' o was once talking about how he would like to still play for real maldrid instead of helping his relegation bound team fight. He is still dreaming too cos real doesnt need him 8) . Keep on dreaming, Eto' o can only win this APOY cos the CAF is french and arab made team :x

The players you mentioned are great players in their own right. But Okocha is the greatest Nigerian player ever. I used to criticize him in the past when he used to dribble too much. Okocha of 2003-2004 has come a long way and plays mature football.

But u r making the comparison cos the APOY award is just this week, so u r telling us the reason why Okocha cant read. By the way in naija English is our official language, and I can write, read and speak it very well more than u 8) , so am not having either reading or comprehension probs here. As long as u stick to english be rest assured that I will completely understand whatever u may write here. Besides I dont have visibility defects at all .

Seriously Ola34 can you really compare JJ with Yeking in his Prime, or even the attacking flair of the Bull or the marauding runs of Ammunike? Is it any surprise that Nigeria's most glorious period was when these guys where permanent fixtures in the Super Eagles(where JJ was a bit part player).

I see that omey2k4 is not the only CE who is prone to immature outbursts.

I am trying to have an objective appraisal of the 2004 Jay-Jay against the other greats at the peak of their careers. I am sorry if you feel I am bashing him.

Ok lets do a test: what does "koro koro" mean? .
Also for the record I will never accept that ur English is better than mine since u cant speak pidgin .
I also think that Oman Biyik is head and shoulder above Eto' o+Djemba+Geremi+Lauren+Makanaky combined.

Is this your best response to the "IS ROGER MILLA THE MOST OVER-RATED AFRICAN SOCCER LEGEND"? Okocha has achieved more as a footballer than Roger Milla could ever dream of. No body knew Rogger Milla until he became the Oldest man to score in a WC, and if old age is the only criteria to rate African legends, then we have a long way to go as a continent, footballwise. The fact is, outside Africa, Roger Milla achieved Zilch, so if anyone is overated, it is him! I would even Rate Mboma ahead of Roger Milla.
