moscobabs:Is African Nations Cup 1994 not a trophy? And if its individual trophy u are talking of, you certainly don't need it to be a Legend. Pele and Maradona never won ballon d Or for your info yet lesser gods have won it 5 each and still counting. The memories of how good you are as a sportsman is what keeps you going. |

egorov:He is world class, no doubt but i do not believe in luck, he was killed by the average nigerian mentality. when he was at his prime, the showboating was so much without any meaningful end product, it was towards the end of his career the he started to show full maturity but it was too late.Assuming he matured earlier a ballon D'or might not be far from him but the nigerian mentality of celebrating show boating instead of efficiency killed him.........after argentina beats nigeria again in the world cup by a goal margin, you will see some nigerians saying " at least we tried, it is not more than a goal margin and we even have more ball possession " i hate such utterances around me, it reeks of mediocrity. |

moscobabs:You didn't mention Victor Ikpeba. Afterall he was African footballer of the year. They could have picked him ahead of Jay Jay abi? Awards sometimes fail to tell the whole story sometimes. I am sure Jay Jay's longevity and global popularity makes FIFA regret not making him get a critical award. |

jagorinho:You are on point. I remember his earlier playing days, he would dribble lots of players and lose the ball, and then smile. He was really enjoying the game. I think he realised later that.... |

moscobabs:Upon your hatred against him, if you can be popular like him, just commence your own work may be you will get the fame he had in his profession, conspirator! |
| Re: Okocha Named In FIFA Legends Squad Ahead Of 2018 World Cup by jagorinho: 11:33am On May 31, 2018 |
enemmo:lol!! you got it, his signature then was dribble two or more players, shoots over the bar and spits on the field and then smile. It is a big pain for me saying this because he is one player i adore for the raw footballing skill he possessed, he played for fun, assuming he met people who could have change his orientation then, we might be saying a different thing now. |

moscobabs:Hate is worst than Ebola, only the inferiors are infected. Congrats Jay Jay. I never knew how popular this guy was until i left the shores of Nigeria. |

Kellz193:He's actually correct. Okocha was a once-in-millenia kind of player, but there should be end product and trophies to accompany tricks and flicks. As far as I'm concerned, his talent is on the same level as Ronaldinho's or even better, but Dinho is a better player. Why? End product. Trophies. Accolades. |
| Re: Okocha Named In FIFA Legends Squad Ahead Of 2018 World Cup by Unlimited22: 12:05pm On May 31, 2018 |
egorov:It's not a matter of luck. It's efficiency. End product. He dribbled his way into the hearts of admirers worldwide but dribbled himself out of contention for trophies and accolades in the process. |

Bobby4090:You know why they're remembered? They were good, and they had end product. If only our celebration of showboating had not been as fierce, we'd have just pushed him to be a bit more efficient. |
