SEGLIZ:
this can never and would never be. the current crops of players can't match up the older generations.

after the 94 set, Atlanta 96 Nigeria was done for in football, I keep saying it, watching those generations play while they are losing you still would enjoy watching them.

there are players the current (genzee) don't know about eg Segun Odegbami, Christian Chukwu, Patrick Okala, Samuel Okparaji etc.

"those who forget their past and history lose their identity". prepare yourself not to grow old.

wón ń se àdúrà fún omodé pé áá dàgbà áá dògbó, órí irun funfun lórí ara è óó ń tuú dànù. when find grey hair on you pull them off young man.

mind not everyone on this platform is young or old. learn from history, know you past so your cultural life and lifestyle can be rich. some of this I mentioned I never saw play do.


we all queue here, back in the day.

leaving Yekini to the wings baffles me just to create space for Osimehn.

yes it should be a 442,with Yekini and osimhen leading the line..............or Yekini to the bench

Yakubu cannot replace anyone there. He was good, though.

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 .

Who should he replace?

benzinoman:
Daniel Amokachi should be there.

Oshimen hasn't won anything for Nigeria , hasn't even won golden boot for Nigeria or even played at World Cup...but u carry am put .... that team should be flooded with Afcon and Olympics winners

Ragingthunder:

What has osimhen won for Nigeria?? He hasn't even helped to qualify us to world Cup and u put him ahead of players like yekini, ikechukwu uche , obafemi Martins, Amokachi , ikpeba emanuel emenike

I know my comments will be controversial. In as much as I loved Kanu. He didn't do much for Super Eagles apart from the age grade competitions.
You were trying to fix all the known names and listed out wrong formation.
What's Yekini doing on the wings when we have Finidi and co.
For Osimhen to be there, let him win the nations cup first.
And why is Taiwo ahead of established names like Iroha, Babayaro and Udeze.

keemsleek:
Yekini is a standing 9 where is finidi? Mikel ke are u kidding me? Oliseh is a standing 4 better than mikel 100 times.... midfield should be okocha, oliseh and Wilson oruma or etim esin. Attack kanu, yekini, oshimen/ finidi.
Keeper.. hmm eyanma/ didi mayana
The defense is ok

Which Oruma and Etim Esin are you talking about here. Apart from the under 17 and 23 Oruma and Esin did nothing in the main Super Eagles. Same with Kanu

Goalkeeper.
Enyeama/Rufai - I no fit choose anyone leave the other.
.
Defense.
Yobo 2
Okechukwu 5
Taribo 6
Iroha/Babayaro - don't know who to choose.
.
Midfield.
Okocha 10
Oliseh 4
Finidi 7
Amunike 11
.
Forward.
Amokachie 8
Yekini 9
Osimhen will replace Amokachie once we win this nations cup or another he's involved in.

YEKINI 7 bawo! stop it joooooo

RealityKings1:
Where are those twins that used to play for Nigeria
Where is Odemwingwe

Golf course

Golf course

Naa enjoyment dem dey

Take out Taye Taiwo for Ben Iroha, take out Mikel Obi for Finidi George, i might drop Taribo West for Uche Okechukwu sef... The likes of Christian Chukwu, Felix Owolabi, and Segun Odegbami should even find a way into the team

Nigerians likes over hyping mediocrity,so you we look me in the eye and compare osimhen to emenike? Are you serious?

judewrites:
Yekini was more exciting and entertaining to watch in play than Oshimen.

When yekini was on the pitch, he brought this fear to opposing sides that Oshimen as good as he is doesn't.

In my own opinion Yekini is greater than Oshimen on the pitch. Yes Oshimen is one of Nigeria's greats and may surpass Yekini, but for now he's not greater than yekini.

My opinion o.

so defenders fear Yekini but they don't fear osimhen? keep deceiving yourself

Naustine:
Did you say osihmen doesn't bring fear to.opponents? Really? Are u kidding me bro?

like wtf

Ragingthunder:
like wtf

I tire o

No mind them... Wetin emenike play for super eagles apart from getting 4 goals in that afcon... Imagine comparing emenike that went to westham and didn't score a whole season to osihmen

Ragingthunder:

Were you born in yekini heydays??

Or you didn't even watch him, yet you are hyping Oshimen above him.

Just go to YouTube and type "rashidi yekini goals".

Yekini was Nigeria's greatest striker.

Naustine:
I never said he want feared...you might have to read again. I'm telling you that osihmen is feared everywhere in the world..and yekini never reached the heights he has reached in world football. Take it or leave it...he is the best striker we have ever produced

Yekini remains greater than him.

It just because you haven't watched his goals on YouTube.

You will be surprised at the kind of goals he scored.... that's why he was called "goal father".

If he was as good as you portray him, he would have played for a top side bro... He was good but wasn't among the best in the world during his time. Don't be stuck in the past bro

What is mentioned is Nigerians best 11 and not what u have done for club ... oshimen hasn't don't anything significant for Nigeria ...Emenike won our last Afcon and was our top scorer... played in the world Cup.... Aghawoha has even done more for Nigeria...even Ikechukwu uche helped qualify Nigeria for world Cup.... even Ahmed Musa has done more for Nigeria than oshinmen

Arguing with you is a waste of time,the amount of disrespect you uncs have for this generation is crazy,the effrontery to mention Aghawoha

Disrespect how....no one is saying osimhen wudnt get there one day ....but for now , he hasn't.... they Disrespect u Gen z have for those that have done it for this country is outrageous... osimhen has failed for play in the world Cup in 2 attempts, havnt won the Afcon ... u now wanna put him above those that have walked the talk .... its like placing Declan Rice over Viera or placing Bruno over Scholes or even placing Palmer over lampard

emenike whose highest accomplishment is scoring four goals at the afcon?,I watched the tournament and my eyes almost bleed,the quality of every team there was so bad that it was unbelievable

At least he won afcon ....with blistering goals...and not tap ins... what has osimhen won for Nigeria ?? He hasn't even played world Cup in 2 attempts... they next world Cup he will be 32 ...that's if he will still be called up.... scoring goals without anything to show for it isn't an achievement.... he just has his personal records...but has never won natin for naija or even at least qualified naija for world cup

"blistering goals" indeed you are a funny man, your logic is extremely flawed and I won't waste my time with you

His winning freekick against cote de viore in the quarters...they elephants had the best players on the continent that time... oshinmen can't shoot outside the box , can't score free kicks and misses lots of chances ... he's just an aggressive passionate striker .... go and watch the sort of goals players like ikechukwu uche , obafemi , aghahowa , even iheanacho in his prime scored for naija ...oshimen is just an aggressive passionate Victor Agali
