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.

Look for chicks who are comfortable and independent. Make sure she is working before chasing. As long as she isn't dependent on you, your levels won't fall.

Note you are searching for a girl who loves and believes in you. Someone who will spurr you to make it. So don't break your head if she leaves. If she does, she is not the one.

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

That is because you are interested in how to impress her. Forget about that. Hence you already know her, ask her for an early evening out. No lunches because you like her and want her to know you like her.

Taking her out in the evening shows you like her but focus on getting to know her.

Leave that fake title. Without debate, can anybody say Bale was a better player than Robin Van Persie last season? Mancini said Van Persie was the difference between Man Utd and Man City. A big difference of 11 points. Van Persie was Man Utd's best player and won the Golden Boot.

That is a player carrying a team. How Bale was better beats everyone.

Definitely one of the best football artist I ever saw. Not the best at France 98 sha. LOL.

Davor Suker, Ronaldo Da Lima, Ariel Ortega, Batistuta, Emmanuel Petit, Desailly, Vieri were ahead of Zizou in that tourney.

So you expect Zidane to brake the goal scoring record


UEFA Club Midfielder of the Year – 1998

FIFA World Cup All-Star Team – 1998,
FIFA World Cup Final Man of the Match – 1998
World Soccer Awards Player of the Year – 1998
L'Équipe Champion of Champions – 1998
French Player of the Year – 1998,
Onze d'Or – 1998
Ballon d'Or – 1998
FIFA World Player of the Year – 1998,

Are you sure its because of the world cup
All those awards came after the World Cup. Note the UEFA club midfielder of the year. You said he was the best player in Europe before the World Cup, not best midfielder. Zidane wasn't the best player in club football 1998 or best player at France '98.

Zidane amassed those awards because of the world cup. If not explain why Davor Sucker was nominated amongst the top 3?

Nope, it was Del Peiro. Definitely Del Peiro who broke the Champions league goal scoring record.

That Champions League was won by Real Madrid beaten Juve in the finals. Clarence Seedorf was also awesome for Real Madrid. Zidane was definitely one of the best players but they were many greats to cap Zizou the best, including Raul.

From what I followed, Zidane won it mainly because of his two goals topple the best in the world.

That WPOTY had a lot to do with the World cup. Davor Sucker wasn't a regular player for Real Madrid but he was nominated amongst the top 3 final contenders. (That is why we are wondering when the Major tournament criteria changed like in Yesterday's case).

If not Suker, it should have been Ronaldo the phenomenon. He was amazing at the World Cup, especially that Holland match.

cr7lomo.:
Then, Moses also is beta that yaya because he won everything that mikel won. He is also beta than modric and Alonso and d rest because he won trophies and they didn't . Look at your reasoning
Mikel had been better than Yaya in 2013. They play different roles. Barry covered Yaya last season while Mikel covers Lampard. Different roles. Mikel isn't a footballing demon but he was great last year.

Congrats to Yaya he played well but Mikel deserved it. Mikel just has to try harder.
Yaya is the better player. Let me rephrase it. Yaya is a better rounded footballer. In pidgin Yaya dey play ball pass Mikel.

Hope you get it.

Now in 2013, Mikel was more instrumental and was a big part of a very successful Super Eagles side when they ended an almost 19 years drought of National team trophies.

He was also part of the Chelsea team that won the Europa. Yaya won nothing that year.

So in 2013, Mikel was the better player.

So you will say Mikel is better than Steven Gerrard because he is more successful? Or Busquet is better than Alonso because he is more successful?
Mikel is not better than Gerard but at the end of their careers we can judge.

In 2013 Mikel was a better player than Gerard.

Mikel won the nations cup and was a huge part of the team.

andyanders:

Well spoken my brother.Let us forget about sentiment here.Yaya deserve the award because he has been too good.
Yes, Mikel is our own brother but cannot equal what Yaya is doing at the moment. This is an award that comes up every year. Let Nigerian players go and do their club and country proud. Yaya NEVER EVER warm the bench in his club but Mikel can NEVER ever boast of complete 90 minutes with Chelsea. I am a Chelsea fan and appreciates Mikel's input when playing but he cannot be as good as Yaya at the moment.Coming second is not bad. We must try to accept things as good sports men and women than trying to justify something that is not right and we should note that the world is watching us. This winning at all cost has been the reason why we have not gotten to the finals of the world cup as a result of our attitude in fielding over aged players and when much is expected form them, age start telling on them and they don't perform.
It was only this last under 17 youth championship that we have fielded players that look like under 17 by appearance and not by their true colour as only their parents knows their true age.

If we should be fielding the actual true ages of these youths, by the time they are exposed to the kind of facilities these great players abroad are exposed to, they will perform. Let us pray that other Nigerian players start paying first team matches with their clubs like what Emenike is doing right now, then this 2014 is coming and they should go to the AFCON and world cup and do us proud and try to key in in their clubs first team and they can receive same award that YAYA has taken rightfully.
Mikel played U17 about 11 years ago, he is still active and looks as someone that still has about 10 years of football in him. About 11 years later he is getting nominated for Africa's best, that doesn't look overage to me.

because of one game?
Zidane wasn't outstanding at France '98. Davor Suker who lead Croatia to a Bronze medal at the World cup for the first outing by Croatia in a World Cup was the outstanding player. Davor Suker was the Golden boot winner of the tournament and Silver ball winner of the tournament.

Zidane wasn't in top 3 of both the Golden ball and Golden boot nominees.

Zidane missed some games due to a red card and suspension by his team coach Jacquet. Yet because of one match in the finals, Zidane scored two headers and won the World player of the year.

You think after 2010 World player of the year, I trust Fifa. Ilkay Gundogan of Borrussia Dortmund had a far better year and performance than Yaya, is he in that their film tricks 23 man list? What is Bale doing there? His team could not even qualify for Champions league.

If you look at all the football awards around the world, its the best performing player not the player from the best team. Some will say Okocha, well as good as he was, Eto was the best striker in the world far better than Henry or Van Nistelrooy.

So can someone tell me why Kanu won the title in 1999
I think it was because of Kanu's hat trick against Chelsea, coupled with how wonderful his last goal against Chelsea in that game was.

I believe Mikel can achieve more than he did in 2013, especially with the Super Eagles.

If Coach Keshi can give Mikel cover to express himself during the World Cup, we can expect fireworks from Mikel.
