Theben: Here is my 23 man team list

Goal Keepers
Vincent Enyeama, Austin Ejide,(both Nig) Samuel Itandje(cam).

Defenders
Kolo Toure(CIV), Emmanuel Eboue(CIV), Kwadwo Asemoah(GHA), Elderson Echiejile(NIG), Godfrey Oboabona(NIG), Kenneth Omeruo(NIG)

Midfielders
Ogenyi Onazi (NIG), John Mikel Obi (NIG), Yaya Toure(CIV), Didier Zokora (CIV), Haruna Lukman(NIG), Andre Ayew(GHA), Chiek Tiote(CIV)

Attackers
Emmanuel Emenike(NIG), Pierre Emerick Aubumayang(GAB), Victor Moses(NIG), Didier Drogba(CIV), Gervinho(CIV), Samuel Etoo(CAM), Mohammed Salah(EGY)

bin gbagbo:

your team has 6 defenders but 7 strikers? really?..

ogenyi onazi? Haruna lukman who is not even invited by Nigeria? cheik tiote really? same-old drogba u mean? austin ejide? basically your team is one drafted out of subjectivity and i can pardon you but it lacks balance and isnt a true reflectiion of Africa's current bests

Theben:
Ogenyi Onazi is our most reliable Midfielder. He has been very consistent for both Lazio and the Super Eagles. He should not only be in the 23 man list, he definitely would be a starter.

My inclusion of Lukman is due to the absence of credible options. His exclusion from the super eagles isn't for footballing reason. His ego is the reason for this. Needless to say he's more talented than Ghanaian aged midfielders.

My decision to pick 6 defenders is because some of my midfielders can effortlessly play the role of defenders and excel. Players like Zokora and Tiote are example of defenders/midfielders on my list.

bizibrain: @ op u just spoke my mind, but ur first xi player get K-leg oo, u put pitriopia,is dat nt d burkinable man wey no qualify or am mistaken, but u left out Africa 2013 goal poacher Emmanuel emenike.

Am sure none of those defender is as sharp as omeruo dat stop drogba frm scoring several tyms in afcon.

Immediately after afcon 2013, caf releases dere first xi player, 5 super eagle player made d list, emmanuel emenike, efe ambrose, vincent enyeama, john obi mikel, victor moses. I was expecting @ least 3 of dem in ur first 11.

Even enyeama currently enjoying 13 clean sheet in 15 appearance and @ d verge of making history 4 lille is nt ur 1st chioce golie.

i respect your opinion and analogy...but remember bayern munich won the last champions league but will their players dominate the current world xi? i pretty doubt that....so please do a more objective analysis and come back

Theben: Op, i just remember i unintentionally omitted Alex Song. Haruna has been replaced with song. Hope you're cool now?

bin gbagbo:

it isnt just lukman who is not deserving in your squad, but echiejile, oboabona, drogba, onazi, ejide and tiote are all not of an African xi quality with all respect

Theben:
So you think those Ghanaians you mentioned on your list are better than these players? Anyway, you aired your opinion on the African players you believe would represent us well, i did same. Is it a must that my opinion align with yours?

gbosaa:


Nice one but Oboabona should replace omeruo or mensa..Micheal Essien for Mikel and Asamoah Gyan for Aubemeyang.

bboiabb: i am reading these lists and can see a lot of bias depending on where n africa u r from. choose players who are good AT THE MOMENT not the ones with potential.

adegwurulez: this thread should be in jokes section. An african team where enyeama isn't the first choice goalie. emenike isn't in that squad, lyk seriously? bin, we both know the only ghanaian deserving of a spot there is kp boateng. so because there was no space for essien in midfield you had to bring him in as a defender. we all know how that worked out in real madrid. bin pls revisit that list asap, it isn't worthy of repin africaGhana
