You and your husband are from Edo State. So, post without bias. The most stupid goal ever missed by a Nigerian striker was from yakubu, followed closely by Ighalo, another Benin boy

Hmmmn... Why do I think Oshimen's worse miss is still coming? embarassed

Wow!!

George Weah: The best African player ever


Eto'o: The best Afcon player ever and one of the best African player in European football history..
The only player that won back to back treble in history!!!

But the truth is winning for country may not be enough when you are competing with Geniuses of football!!!

George Weah was a better player than Eto'o!!!

Thierry Henry says : " We call him Mr George, I have never seen any striker at his level except the real Ronaldo"

If you want to go by awards, den the European and world footballer award won by weah overwrites all eto’s awards,,but if for any reason u still doubt the supremacy of weah in Africa football, den I will suggest you do a YouTube search for best of weah and that of eto,,I’m sure wat your eyes will see will convince you beyond reasonable doubt that weah is one of the few extraordinary athletes that ever played the game
Henry respect Weah like mad...

Infact, he adore him...!!!

Eto'o is a kid compared to George Weah!!!

Eto'o in his prime was a far better player.
The only thing eto'o did not win was ballon d'or

1995 of Weah is the best version of any African player in history...

Nobody come close...

Infact 1996 of George Weah is still better than best version of Eto'o!! !

Henry respects George Weah like mad!!!

George Weah’s Liberia was ravaged by war when he was on top, so he couldn’t have achieved the national accolade Eto achieved.

Eto bursted to the scene at a young age and has been consistent ever since but he had a peaceful country to return to. Weah during his illustrious club career never had the luxury.

Both are really great players but for consistency, Eto edges it.
George is a better player!!!

If he had come in the time of George Weah, he'd have won the balloon d'or more than two times. I won't argue with what Eto'o said, the likes of Okocha and Kanu weren't as lucky as him, if they had found themselves in a team like Barca at their prime with players like Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi in the team, Eto'o wouldn't have had the guts to say all these. But realistically Eto'o deserved to be the greatest in Africa, if not for anything but for the fact that he's a lucky man...


Excellent comment. Eto wasn't better than Jay Jay Okocha. Okocha BY RIGHT should have been playing in that Barcelona team Eto was in, and had he been there, he would have been NUMERO UNO like he was in every club and team he played in.

I think the top European sides were genuinely scared of signing Okocha, as the Nigerian would have overshadowed all the overrated, corporate backed media favourites of his time like Raul, Xavi, Ronaldinho and co.

That Ronaldinho was Jay Jay's underling at PSG and went on to become Barca's best says it all. Jay Jay was just unlucky not to be signed by the very best clubs.

He May be the most decorated African player, George Weah still holds the highest individual award more than Eto’o does.

European football and World football awards aren’t “moinmoin”
Eto o is right. Eto o was consistently leading his team to many titles. The only impressive thing about George was the world best but Eto o was once in the top three. George never even led Liberia to a World Cup tournament. Facts

Drogba is my favourite for now. Even our own man Jay Jay Okocha did more than Eto.
Kudos. Never wake up to return to bed without making N10,000 per day. See my proof in the link below.

There were better, prolific players in the time of George Weah compared to the time of Eto’o. If Eto’o had played during Weah’s time then you would would agree with me...
