Where is Peter Rufai?

I think you should put generation bracket to it.

Burruchaga71:
This list is incomplete without Obafemi Martins, Uche brothers, Victor moses and Odenwengie.

Lol. No vex bros, but be like say na from 2010 you begin watch Super Eagles because this your list ehn...

From those you mentioned, only one that can maybe make a case for himself is Obafemi Martins and even him is not better than any of the forwards on that list.

Odemwingie and the Uche brothers were good and very technical but we are talking about all time 11 here, not everybody can get in. Victor Moses? Sorry, he won't even make the bench.

Re: Is This Nigeria Best XI In History? by babytoun: 11:51am On Jan 12

Taiye Taiwo., ahead of Iroha,Babayaro and Emenalo ? How is that possible ?

Re: Is This Nigeria Best XI In History? by janga02(m): 11:51am On Jan 12

Your list is not bad but it depends on when you start watching football.
In my opinion, I believe you don't know people like:

Gentle giant- stephen ukechukwu
The bull- Daniel amokachi
Head master- Mutiu adepoju
Samson siasia
Emmanuel amuneke

Tiawo over Babanyaro? How nah?

Re: Is This Nigeria Best XI In History? by AKWATGOLD1(m): 11:53am On Jan 12

The Nigeria Best XI selected would have well accepted if it was not mixed with departed soul like Stephen Keshi, Rasheed Yekini etc. When selecting Nigeria Best XI, let's use the current players to select our best XI because the dead cannot be resurrected to play the game again.

Sonnobax15:

Na so..

The formation too solid..

If not for that Yakubu's legendary miss during the world cup that won the world cup of all misses itself,he would have at least made the list too .

Why do you choose to judge his illustrious career with that single miss in the wc only.

Great selection. The op did a great job. However, coming up with this kind of a selection is always debatable. For me Celestine Babayaro is the best left full back Nigeria has ever producedm Taiye Taiwo doesn't come close at all. Your midfield selection is the best I have seen. In a 4-3-3 formation Rasheed Yekini will not fit in. Though arrogant Osirmhen is Nigerias best. Below is is my selection:

Peter Rufai-
Joseph Yobo
Taribo West
Uche Okechukwu
Celestine Babayaro
John Obi Mikel
Sunday Oliseh
Austin Okocha
Finidi George
Victor Osimhen
Kanu Nwakwo

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Where is "Amo14",
Daniel the Bull Amokachi?

His ruggedness, unstoppable on attacks

Twin

I only know of Uche brothers,and they weren't twin...those guyz did well

Re: Is This Nigeria Best XI In History? by ZombieTAMER: 12:18pm On Jan 12

Amokachi should be there

Taye Taiwo shouldn't be there at all, replace with Bruno or Iroha immediately

Re: Is This Nigeria Best XI In History? by judewrites: 12:19pm On Jan 12

Good selection but Yekini isn't a supporting sticker in a 4_3_3 team, he a pure number 9.

Oshimen himself claims that yekini remains the greatest Nigerian forward even if he surpasses his goals for the national team.

Re: Is This Nigeria Best XI In History? by ChiefS(m): 12:21pm On Jan 12

It can't be Nigerian all time 11. Only at most 4 persons on this squad will make Nigerian all time 11: Yekini, Okocha, Kanu and Osimen

No!

obafemi martins should replace osimhen
Uche okechukwu replace taribo
Godwin opara, replace Yobo
finidi George replace yekini
Celestine babayoro replace taiwo

But that midfield is solid

Where are the subs

Re: Is This Nigeria Best XI In History? by Cmanforall: 12:34pm On Jan 12

Mikel might have won trophies with his club, but wouldn’t make Nigeria’s top 11 in history. That his role will always be occupied by Okocha.
Amunike is also supposed to be there.

Hahahaha. All these cannot enter that all time best eleven. They are good no doubt but not the best. Only change i feel the squad need is Celestine Babayaro replacing Taye Taiwo.

TheStoriesOfMan:
Troost-Ekong nko?

No Aghahowa?

No Obafemi Martins?

No Emmanuel Emenike?

No Pius Ikedia?

Hmmmmm
