YOUR FATHER AND OKOCHA ARE IMMENSEKLY TALENTED, BUT THEY ARE TOO SURE OF THEMSELVES, YOUR FATHER WAS THE BEST FOOTBALLER IN THE WORLD AT THE TIME OF MARSEILLE'S STUNT. BUT YOUR FATHER AND OKOCHA WENT FOR LIMPING CLUBS IN EUROPE THINKING THAT THEY CAN CARRY SUCH CLUBS ON THEIR SHOULDERS, SO THEY MISSED THE OPORTUNITY OF SHINNING BRITHER,
SOME DID NOT LIKE THE WAY YOUR FATHER CARRIED HIS SHOULDERS IN HIS HAY DAYS SO THEY GAVE THE BALLON DO'R TO GEORGE WEAH , THEY DO THIS ALWAYS WHEN THEY SEE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN AFRICA THEY GIVE THE MISS WORLD TO AN UGLY AFRICAN WOMAN, TO SHOW HOW BAD AFRICANS LOOK!!

Okocha was very good but the supremacy belongs to Abedi Pele.

The French speaking countries continues to cheat so far as Hayatou continues to be there. We all know Okocha in football but its very sad.

I liked your father's football a lot, but dribbling skillwise, Okcha was his superior.

True, Abedi never had a bad game in his entire career. He was born to play football!

What about the semi-final against Ivory coast, I still have the video. Abedi had loads of bad games, especially for Ghana, so please.

The semi final was against Nigeria not Ivory Coast. Abedi played very well in that game and stored 1 of the 2 goals Ghana had. The final against Ivory Coast he didn't play due to suspension

There are three skillful players of my generation. That is Abedi Pele, Okocha and Kulasha. Oppong Weah, Roger Milla and Co were equally good but not supremely talented as the above trio. If there is one talented footballer I will classify as naturally gifted it has to be Makanaki who futured for Cameroun in the 1990 world cup except for his finishing. The above trio are masters in artistry of the beautiful game and are colossus of the African game. My only problem is that Abedi Pele neglected his native northern Ghana including RTU currently managed by my good friend coach Hamza. We have more Abedi Peles in the north but for lack of exposure.

So u think fifa was wrong or drunk when they gave world's best to weah? How many of these players have ever done "coast to coast" in any European lg game like weah did in Italy? Dede got lots of nerve to say okocha was his generation. When did Dede play for Bstar? Okocha was not and all round good player bjt he was really good as a dribbled and passer. The awards always go to those who also score.goals and beautiful ones at that and can help their.clubs win trophies. That's what sets the abedis, toure,.eto, Drogba, weahs,.Milla apart from okocha, Dede, essien, etc...

Abedi could have easily the best african player today. He was in the class of Maradona but because he came from Africa could not win world best during his time. My countryman George Weah won it and it is only African to do it. Abedi was better than Okocha and could only compare him with Maradona and Messi. His left football was better than Messi.

Okocha was the greatest...slippery as ice. Abedi was a workaholic and got rewarded for his extra graft but Okocha made football look easy.
