My Nigerian Football XI Of All Time! by akinalabi(m): 9:59pm On Sep 14, 2007
Earlier today, I was thinking about my best
Nigerian 11 of all time.

I don't mean the best 11 players we've ever
produced, rather, I mean if I were to pick a
team, who would I put in?

That means, there can't be two goalkeepers
or two number 10s.

I picked this team based on a 4-4-2 formation.

Here we go,

Goalkeeper: Peter Rufai

Right Back: Yisa Sofoluwe (Played both left and right back)

Left Back: Benedic Iroha

Central Defender (Stopper): Christian Chukwu

Central Defender (Libero): Stephen Keshi

Defensive Midfielder: Muda Lawal

Central/Attacking Midfielder/Playmaker: Austin Okocha

Right Winger: Segun Odegbami

Left Winger: Felix Owolabi

Supporting Striker: Samson Siasia

Top Striker: Rashidi Yekini

Does anyone agree with me?

Amokachi will have to take out Siasia. Well, you could argue that.

Amunike will have to take out Owolabi. That I will never agree

Kanu. I'm not sure where we will fix him. Top 9? No chance. That
one na Yekini. Central midfield? I'll go for Jay Jay.

Supporting striker? Maybe.

That means the supporting strikers role will be either Siasia,
Amokachi or Kanu.

So only one of them can make it.

Taribo West?

He's a central defender. He will have to
take out either Christian Chukwu or
Stephen Keshi.

Not in this world!

You're really a dimwit! Your stupidity and foolishness is unparalleled.

You criticize Mikel so much and harp about how he doesn't score goals yet you keep including him in your starting 11. Are you that confused?. . Mumu oshi!

See your previous posts below

all we are saying no more lagerback my nigeria dream formation now

                                            enyeama,

                odiah,         apam,      adeleye,    taiwo/echjile


                                 
                                     lukman,         mikel,

           okoro,                ibrahim                      obinna


                               mrtins/chrisantus/emmanuel

12large:

with the new way coqaches now play a 4231 formation nigeria 4231 would be

                                                 enyeama

           odiah,      apam,    adeleye,     taiwo/echjile


                         mikel,        lukman,

           okoro,       ibrahim,     obinna,

                               we have many good strikers pick your choice

what a worldclass potential team, who ever wanted nigeria to get banned for 2years you need to check yourself


Heck, Mikel even makes your preferred starting 11 for 2014 world cup. . .How come? You're just a confused clown! grin grin

12large:

now this is my squad that we should build with for 2014 world cup

defenders

adefemi olubayo
apam onyekachi
dele adeleye
uwa echjile
nurudeen orelesi
kingsley udoh
edet ibok
kenneth omeruo. and maybe taiwo and odiah if they improve

for midfilders now in this generation we had bunch of useless defensive midfilders without any passing or dribbling skill, but our coming generation the midfield is class my midfilders would be


obiora nwankwo
  ramon azeez
  rabiu ibrahim
  haruna lukman
joel chukwuma obi
 john mikel obi
  kalu uche
emmanuel ekpo and any new great talent that we can find from now till 2014

wingers: we need to use real wingers all these wingers we had in the last generation are all strikers that we converted because we did not find a good wingers so my wingers would be

victor moses
steven worgu
stanley okoro
king osanga
nnamdi odu {just promoted to ac milan senior team}
victor obinna nsofor
ahmed musa
osaze odemwingie and any new great talent we can find from now till 2014

for forwards we need out and out goal scorers not wingers strikers just plain goal scorer and my would be

macauley chrisantus
sani emmanuel
obafemi martins
victor anichebe
gbolahan salami
okechukwu uchebo
chinedu obasi if he can improve tremendously and any new great talent that we can find from now till 2014.

so after naming all these players i think the future is more than very bright for eagles if we can find a good attacking minded coach. my current nigeria starting 11 would be

                                        vincent enyeama

             olubayo                apam            adeleye           echejile


                                                  mikel obi
 
       
            stanley okoro                rabiu ibrahim               ahmed musa


                                     chrisantus                   martins


okoro and musa are extremely skillful and could be used as nigerian messi and robinho

my second team would be


                                               aiyenuba

              nedum onuoha        udoh       omeruo        orelesi


                                                azeez/nwankwo

               osanga/osaze           lukman/joel obi         obinna/worgu/


                               sani emmanuel/i.k uche     anichebe/salami


guys add your new players you want in eagles and fell free to disagree. if you don't agree with my team be civilized or don't comment at all remember we are all adults.
Where is your precious Emmanuel Ekpo in all this? How come he didn't make your 1st and 2nd teams? Can a man be more confused than you are? grin grin grin

And then Finally,
Ahmed Musa makes your starting 11 despite the fact that you haven't seen him play? Shocking!
