omar22:


Zidane was the best player in Europe before the world cup, during the world cup and after the world cup. Did you see Zidane for Juve that year. in the group stage Zidane was magic only because of his Red Card
It is not today Ojoro started in Football. Look at this list of top 10 players France '98. Even here self, Zidane is not supposed to be here. Just because of two goals in the finals, his name is here. Zidane missed 3 games.

1. Lilian Thuram, 2. Ronaldo Da Lima, 3. Davor Suker, 4. Marcel Desailly, 5. Dennis Bergkamp, 6. Christian Vieri, 7. Sebastian Vernon, 8. Edgar Davids, 9. Dunga, 10. Zinedine Zidane.

http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/top-10-players-france-98

Names not mentioned who I believe played better than Zidane at France '98 were Batistuta, Bebeto, Rivaldo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Emmanuel Petit, Clarence Seedorf, Boban, Overmars, Lizarazu, Ariel Ortega. Yet Zidane was awarded the best player in the World.

By the way, UEFA Club player of the year was Ronaldo of Inter Milan, who also picked UEFA Club Best Forward.

We are used to it

My tab messed me up again. First of all a she wrote it. She meant that at this point in time Nigerians should be behind Mikel, they won't show their patriotism. I don't think she meant every Nigerian wasn't patriotic but she was referring to those who weren't.

Mikel is an exceptional player. He is very mature for his age considering his calmness on and off the pitch.
He is equally a fighter even when rumored had it he will be leaving Chelsea at the start of the season, he still made it to Chelsea's squad.
However, Yaya Toure fully deserves the Award keenly looking at the stats. He is such a key player in a huge club littered with expensive stars.
Furthermore, with time I think Mikel will finally land the coveted prize to Naija.
Afterall, Statistics has shown that Nigeria has twice as more football potential than any other African Country.

Click like if you feel disappointed and pained as well cry

So they should give it to an undeserving player because it was in his country? forget sentiments, compare Mikel's 2013 highlights with yaya's 2013 highlights, then tell me who is the deserved winner.

collins Jn: How Do This Judge The Winner ? Fpor Heaven's Sake,Mikel Won African Cup Of Nations,Champions League,Europa League,The Whole Of last Year,Yaya Toure Didn't Win Anything.
Am Speechless Mahn.

It is called player of the year, not best winning team of the year or trophy winning player of the year. Player of the year denotes a player that actually did extraordinarily well in a calender year, with or without trophy. Winning a trophy boost ur chances, but doesn't guarantee winning. Yes Mikel won nations cup and Europa League.. but be truthful to urself.. was Mikel really extraordinary in the Nations cup? Yaya wasn't but neither was Mikel. Mikel had a better tournament no doubt.. but that was in January.. what about the remaining 11 months? Is Mikel a guaranteed starter for Chelsea? Yaya is already becoming a cult hero in City. Do people go to stadium to watch Mikel play? Yaya have fans allover the world and it would be a shame to Africa if he didn't win it. Also.. goals win u games. Fans want to see goals created and scored.. that is what this sport is all about.

peacelife: I think CAF should educate coaches on what 2 look out for on what an african award should be b4 de vote... it is 4 d players dat av impact on african football.. nt wt u play in shirtsea or romancecity... we are nt lookin 4 'African.epl' player of d yr. D focus is Africa. Total crap.

I think u are the one that needs to be educated.

The Award is given to the player adjudged to have been the best player on the African continent in that calendar year(which Yaya clearly was) not the rubbish u typed up there(Impact on African Football ko Impact on Globalisation ni).

thegoodjoehunt: [b]Should Mikel have been Africa's Player of the Year

In this instance, it is important for CAF to clarify the conditions of the voting. If the award is to recognise the most successful or most influential performer of the year, then Mikel should feel disappointed to have missed out and Nigerians can rightly cultivate the sense of injustice that they inevitably will.

The award, however, is to recognise Africa’s finest player; it becomes hard to look too far beyond Yaya.

The Ivorian may not have been at his best over 2013 and he may not have lifted any silverware, but he remains Africa’s standout talent. He is the player capable of performing like no other, of dominating contests like no other and of performing more consistently than any other.


http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4082/editorial/2014/01/10/4533194/yaya-toure-cafs-rightful-player-of-the-year

The author of the article starts with CAF has to define the criteria and ends with a criteria he creates by Africa's finest player.

If it is Africa's finest player that is the criteria, Okocha should have won it at least 5 times.[/b]

That is the most heart breaking part. This boy Mikel left his club duties, put in a memorable performance for us. Knowing in his heart he was Africa's best and Nigerians voted against him. Big Shame to them.

Reminds me of Cassilas voting Sergio Ramos as his World best after all CR7 did for Real Madrid.
