Of coz every Zimbabwean remembers this game. The Most infamous game in Zim soccer history . Not only was this Zim biggest lose at home but most infamous was the fact that veteran radio commentator Charles Mabika was fired by Zbc for being ‘unpatriotic’ on his radio commentary. Today we see the video. True that Zim players were roasted😂
Mabika was in the commentary, shouting, "The fans' placards read "Okocha agochwa" but well, well, well, what is actually happening here in the stadium is, "Okocha ogocha".
the Zimbabwean commentator on duty actually got fired for "unpatroitism" because he praised okocha too much Edit: Just saw it in another comment. the commentator was Charles Mabika
I used to think so. But now I am convinced that he was assigned to keep Okocha under check. It wasn't an easy assignment but he really did well. Much respect to Okocha...weldone Esrom Nyandoro you are a true warrior.
Okocha was well taken care of . Despite being sublime. Nengomasha was solid as well as esrom nyandoro. With zvenyika makonese Top defender paired with dumisani mpofu. Kaitano tembo was getting slower . But Dickson choto was super defender . Choto did well against Egypt in the afcon the time for mido.hozam hazem. Scary efficient Egyptians That land produces defensive midfielders in excess
3:20 Okocha was good but his crazy shots at goal were pretty bad. El Hadji Diouf and Titi Camara were way ahead in skills and shooting. Okocha was just flair nothing more...Nigeria ran their mid through Garba Lawal.
I got talent what I never show the world bcs of discrimination some of Zimbabwean players are not fit to play on national team the talent we got in beitbridge no one care bcs of tribal look jay jay he was just planning alone
JJ Okocha is a very skillful and talented footballer player but please can we watch this with unbiased mind. Okocha can also be so annoying with his unnecessary ball juggling and dribbling skills. Some would call those 'beautiful nonsense'. Check out how many times he would dribble and lose possession of the ball when a pass to his mates would have unlocked the defence better. It is annoying watching him sometimes embarking on silly dribbles, I am sure it can be frustrating to his team mates sometimes. The most annoying part of his football was his wayward shootings. JJ would have shot down and silenced many of his critics if he his shootings were good. He mesmerised in the midfield against the likes or Roy Keane and Scholes but his shootings and final ball were awful...Bolton would have shocked Man United. His shots most times end up flying over the the goal post bar like a plane taking off. He would have single handedly defeated the Danes in France 98. He dribbled, confused the Danish full backs but his shootings were bad. He dazzled in the midfield against England in the friendly after US 94 but his shootings were bad or maybe he was unlucky. Nigeria would have won that match if Okocha upped his game just a tiny bit. I dont think he was as serious and as motivated as Ronaldinho who possess similar skills.

When I was a kid the commentator of Zimbabwe TV go berated by one of the ministers because of shouting and praising Jay Jay Okocha in this match too much lol
@apolo kabali You watched his videos but I watched live most of these players you guys talk about nearly their entire careers and still remember what the general sentiments were then than now that people are just speculating. Jay Jay Okocha played an attacking midfielder and was one of the best in his own position. He could rip apart the entire midfield of any team, big or small, club or country and create chances and did actually score some of the most beautiful goals you can think of and sometimes did save drowning teams both at club and national matches. He wasn't just showboating. He had skills in excess that he didn't have to think about the move to make and get pass a defender with ease, hence it was sometimes being seen as mere showboating but the players would go behind to practice his moves and do them when they succeeded. Anything he did was for a purpose and not as empty as people just talk about. The only thing close to showboating is that he believed that football should be a sort of enjoyment and not taken too seriously. I believe this is the mindset that cost him his deserved records. He had the potentials but wasn't recorded as having won this or that .
So many needless dribbles. Highly talented but he never mastered how to be effective with his skills. That is the difference between him and Ronaldinho.
ignorant comment ,who told you he was not effective in his dribblings skills whereas he is the most skillful player in the game.?is it the only game he has played?
He doesn't do anything productive or positive for his team in this game. He's like the kid at school who knows he better than everyone else, fucks about for the entire game, and usually ends up on the losing team. He's got great skills, but he using them in incredibly frivolous and wasteful ways.
But the team won 3:0.. What else do you want to see. He prevented his opponents from getting the ball. In a VAR era, he would be untouchable.. And that foul in the penalty box will be a straight Penalty kick in the present era , also a red card offence for the Opponent player.. Stop the Hate.. He is the Nigeria best ever!!
@@amooolusina6978 They were playing Zimbabwe... 3-0 is the least they should expect to win by. I really rate Jay Jay Okocha. He was a fantastic player. I'm just criticising this video. He gives the ball away over and over again. This is an extremely poor example of his talents
@@roberthonour671 you pathetic hater what do you mean there were playing Zimbabwe, Zim was the best team in Southern Africa and despite their woes probably still is so what the hack are you blubbering about Okocha was just Exceptional back then Zim had seen some fine players who could be counted amoungst Africas best the likes of Benjani Mwaruwari who played for Man City a fine play who could score goals and who had pace but was with his ball distribution as well but Okocha in terms of skills is right there amoung your Peles and your Ronaldinhos just slightly behind them i would say.
I remember this game. Okocha embarrassed the Zimbabwean defence. He toyed with them all afternoon😄

Abotrika Mohammed and jay jay okocha Africa's finnest ever in my opinion
I concur 🙌🏾
Mabika was in the commentary, shouting, "The fans' placards read "Okocha agochwa" but well, well, well, what is actually happening here in the stadium is, "Okocha ogocha".
And he got hounded by Jonathan Moyo for enjoying Jay Jay antics kkkkkk
Austin "Jay Jay" Okocha: Pearl of Great Price!
I like how the crowd reacted everytime he did something nice!

This was zim's best first 11 ...l was young but yes
The fact that the zimbabwean supporters were cheering him on towards the end says it all. The man was gifted
But most of his passes were stray

Charles Mabika who is Zimbabwe's Peter Dury was fired for praising Okocha.
Some of his skills where not necessary, thats why he played for Bolton wanders

Exactly...he was skillful but not efficient that's why he never won any major individual award. Ronaldinho was skillful and efficient.

artistic was more than Ronaldinho I agree but not so efficient
Ronaldinho was a step ahead. Okocha could have been better if he didnt hit those wild shots into the stands.
He was on zidane class
Good football okocha
They where not marking him hard,when you play with such a player don’t give him a chance to settle with the ball.
zim players dololo naJAy Okocha kkk
Why are you disgraceful to your on nation?
Great
Okocha was the best player with outstanding skills,, he almost played like Maradona
He's clearly more skillful than Maradona. He's only bad at finishing
Where is the Charles Mabika commentary though?🤣

Totally agree
The difference is. that Ronaldinho played for top clubs in which most of the responsibilities didn't rest on him alone!

Style over precision. Most of the passes were wayward and contributed nothing positively to the team. Useless show booting one would say.
Yh I noticed that too
He won a penalty they scored from
This video was cut out from the entire match, do your research on JJ
Go to hell,I know none of ur family member knows how to kick football
Average people that cannot put food on their family's table always have problem and they end up contributing nothing to the society. f**k haters
Only if he was more prolific in front of goal
No positive end product
Man Utd vs asernal
YORUBA
Is he really Yoruba or Igbo??
Okocha is a joker his not serious he waste lots of chances
Rubbish play, what's even the purpose of uploading or posting this kind of video?

Kanu is better than okocha
