rossi49ja: Europa league sub-standard? That it gets a low rating and viewing doesnt make it any less competitive or entertaining. You deserve a life ban from watching soccer. You also deserve a life ban comparing a player who cannot make first team to a player who makes first team week in week out. |

pek: that's Why Nigeria is where she is today! we always act out of sentiments! that is why we never progress. And this is why a country like Ghana that use to source refuse here in Nigeria is now a,better country. Because they see the truth but us Nigerians will see the truth and turn our backs. |

Jarus:Yes and I believe same was done for Yaya in his country. Even as a chelsea fan, I accept the fact that Yaya is better than Mikel buh in this kinda awards, not the best players wins. And also having Mikel and Moses from same country fr same award didn't help them both cos some nigerians wud go fr Mikel while others go fr mikel and then Yaya has all the votes frm his country..

victorlexa: Yaya is among d top midfielders in d world... Where is mikel der? Sm1 dat was almost sold by chelsea in d last transfer... Yaya didnt perform in nations cup bt has bn a pillar dis season in man city,ylr mikel has had to cope wit few stats nd substitute appearances,by d way yaya is more recognised worldwide nd dats also a reason y he got most of d votes.mikel is gud tho i think he has a chance of winning d caf award cz i cnt rememba d last tym a player won d bbc award nd caf at d same tymThe fact that it hasn't happen doesn't mean it won't happen. Before Messi won the world best three times in a row, no one achieved the feat. |

Congrats to him! Who told you not the best player wins? In any case, Nigeria and CIV are just two countries out of the over 100 countries that listen to/watch/read BBC TV/Radio/Website. So it is immaterial whether Mikel and Moses coming from same country contributed to Mikel's loss. People are not blind. 1 Like |

chess guru: Let me answer ur question. How many times has a defender won the award since canavaro? Only 2 defenders have won the award to date and that was lother matthaus and canavaro. It is not easy for a defender to win that award because it isgoals that win u games. Canavaro won it because of the fill Wong reasons 1. He was the captain of the Italian team that won the works cup 2. Italy won the world cup by being the beat defending team 3. Italy conceded just 2 goals throughout the tournament. An own goal against USA and a zidane's penalty in the final. 4. Canavaro played every minute of the world cup and was outstanding. He got the nick name wall or Berlin. 5. He didn't get a single yellow card or red card theouout the tournament. 6. He was so good real Madrid had to buy him. And there was no other player that could really be compared to him that year. Canavaro is regarded as the best defender in his generation. So yes a defender can win but it will take something extraordinary. Do u think people pay big to go watch football because of defenders? No, they pay to watch players with skills, that can score goals, players that cab entertain the fans. Can such be said about Mikel? What did Mikel do to warrant him win the award? Do u think non Nigerians love to watch Mikel play? Go outside Nigerians and compare the 2 players Mikel and yaya and u will get ur answer. 1 Like |

Another thing, bad as 2013 Nations Cup was for Yaya, he scored 2 goals, Mikel didn't score any. It also appears CIV's elimination by Nigeria has beclouded Yaya's better performance at the group stage of teh competition. I have not said Mikel didn't have a better Nations cup than Yaya, but we should try to put things in perspective too. Messi and his Argentina were eliminated from SA 2010 at QF stage. |

i voted for Mikel but Yaya is a better player. Mikel has so much unmaximised potential which may never be maximised. he is just too scared of making mistakes that he doesn't take chances. Mikel may get better but as of now, Yaya is better |

pek: that's Why Nigeria is where she is today! we always act out of sentiments!Stop trying to be unnecessarily smart. Football awards have always been sentimental. Even in the ballon d'or,players and coaches vote for their compatriots or club mates. Now i believe the rumour that it was a Nigerian that prevented okocha from winning the CAF awards, given the nonsense i am seeing on this thread. It's better not to vote at all than to vote against your compatriot. That's stupidity and madness. 1 Like |

Thank God self-loathing Nigerians aren't voting in CAF. South Africans think Khune is Africa's best Goalkeeper and would vote him over Enyeama or even Casillas, PATRIOTISM is supposed to be BLIND. |
