Weah is far better than Eto ,It is wrong to compare African best with world best,I don't think an African player will achieve such feat again,Weah is the greatest African player of all time.

It's so confusing that George Weah has a Ballon D'or and players like Eto, Drogba, kanu don't have one.

Although Drogba and Eto are good but I think Weah is few light years above them. For kanu he doesn't fit mentioning

try and know George weah, it not a joke to win world and European best.
What's there to know about George Weah that I don't know? Etoo was just unfortunate to be playing in an era with many football greats, and at a time where racism politics was getting high in football. I put it to you that if Etoo was a white guy, they would have given him Ballon D'or. George Weah was just lucky to have won it, there was nothing spectacular in his play. But Etoo is a fantastic striker, put him anywhere, he will scores goals CONSISTENTLY. When Etoo was playing in Barcelona, even Messi know say Etoo na him oga at that time

Eto'o is far better than Drogba and Diouf.
The only African player than won UCL back to back for different clubs and even scored at both finals.
Barcelona and Inter-Milan.
Samuel Eto'o Olanrewaju, RESPECT!

grin grin grin

grin grin grin grin grin grin

But in Aiyegbeni's defense, he 1) helped Portsmouth to Premier League promotion (playing as part of a two man attack with Paul Merson, probably one of the better England strikers who was still good at 37/8 then. b) was decent for Pompey and c) when he moved to Middles-borough, was a key player in their decent European and cup challenge for 2004//5 where at one point they could have won the league cup, UEFA cup and FA cup. d) did play well for Nigeria.

His mistake against Korea in 2010 world cup was not totally unexpected...he was already declining then , but at the same time, that's not the totality of his career.

Err...Weah was very very good.

The video below gives you an idea of how good he was (note---he was playing for AC Milan when it was still AC Milan).

Even though Diouf did not have a long career.

He was devastating for his short spell, I think between 1999 and 2002.

Within this period Diouf was the undisputed GOAT.

Winning the CAF player of the year twice nor be beans.


But we should be talking Weah, Eto, Drogba, and Tuore.

You see why it's difficult for me to leave obembet for uyailncomparabl? I love football a lot. Both girls make me obsessed cheesy. Back to the topic, Diouf doesn't deserve to be mentioned there at all. Even aboutrika of Egypt is a greater player than him sad

Dagrace01:
Diouf who? Drogba what?
Comparing themselves to Eto'o?
That's ridiculous.
The only trophy Eto'o didn't win in football is world cup.
I can't even compare those two players to Kanu, Yaya Toure, and Okocha.
Does Diouf think it's by fighting on the pitch?
Eto'o deserved even ballon d'or in his time if not for segregation and marginalization of Africans.
Eto'o will go down among the top 10 strikers in football history.
U can only compare Eto'o to the likes of Ronaldo Delima, Thierry Henry, Raul Gonzalez, Alan Shearer and the likes.
It's very ridiculous to compare Eto'o to Drogba, Drogba is in the rank of Rooney, Larson, Crespo, Nzaghi, Vieri etc. While Diouf should be compared to Aiyegbeni, Martins, Villa, Wiltord etc

You mean Eto is ahead of
De lima Ronaldo
Romario
Henry
Gerd Muller
Marco van basten
Raul
Ferenc puskas
Eusebio
Pele
Bican
Lineker
Jimmy greaves
Fernando peyroteo
Arguably in Africa though �

I'm not saying George Weah is not good. I'm telling you Etoo is BETTER than him. I watched Weah's games during his AC Milan days, just like I watched Etoo, religiously back then. Do you know Etoo wore number 9 shirt in Barcelona? Do you know what it means to wear #9 jersey in a club like Barcelona? I tell you the gospel truth, if Etoo was a white guy, they would have given him Ballon D'or. It is racism politics that kept it from exceptional players like Etoo. Etoo is the greatest African footballer, alive and dead, in the whole world. Etoo scores the hardest goals and makes it look easy. He is the best talented striker Africa continent has ever produced.

Drogba and Diouf are French speaking.

Are the French speaking people of Africa better footballers compared to rest of us English, Portuguese and Arabs?
