Africa's best 11....
I hope folks find this interseting. I chose 4-4-2 as the formation since it is the most used set-up in world football and also the most flexible.
In goal I pick VINCENT ENYEAMA
because he was in my opinion the best at the Nations Cup.
Right Back
Ebeaue
simply put, he is playing better than the other contender Treblise.
Left Back
Pierre Wome
Did not make Cameroun's team due to politics but the inter left back is still the best in Africa.
Center Backs
Kolo Toure
Can't add to what has been said about this Arsenal and Ivory Coast stalwart.
Wael Gomaa
Key man for Ahly and Egypt.
Midfield
As the deep lying hard man, I pick Mahamadou Diarra. He has been key to Lyon in France and is regarded in Europe as the premier holding player. Makelele does not have Diarra's range.
Partnering Diarra is Essien
The other midfield spots go to Appiah and Henry Camara. Camara might be a suprice inclusion to many but he does great work out wide and Appiah is the perfect playmaker.
Strikers
Eto and Drogba. Many on this forum don't like Drogba but he is one of the best in the world. Eto-can't say much other than he is the best finisher in the World.

Re: Africa's best 11....
I think Kameni is a better GK than Enyeama. I'd still have Trabelsi in too as the guy has been a consistent performer for Ajax for years. Why no space for Kuffour?! I agree that Eto'o and Drogba would be the ideal strike pairing as they have different styles. Eto'o and Martins are quite similar as their game is about pace. Drogba would offer an aerial threat and hold the ball up.

Enyeama
Trabelsi Yobo Kolo Taiwo
Essien Diarra Appiah
Utaka Drogba Eto'o
Your boy TT does have some momentary lapses in defence.
Drogs behind Utaka and Eto'o. wikkid, na which defenders go fit stop dem three?

I put Camara in midfield because he offers both a goal scoring threat and can play wide as he used to for Senegal. Folks the fact that only one Nigerian player made the list is not deliberate but I don't see anyone better than those on the list. Yaya as you all know is my favourite player but I think that Appiah is better futher up and Essien is better defensively. This is just an opinion and I think that different people would come up with different players. Kuffour is great but I picked Goma and Toure because they are just the form players right now.Dodo wrote:u were onto something until u mentioned Henri Camara in midfield

I totally agree. And yet he puts in Appiah in midfield, you know then his list has no substance.Player wrote:if Yaya toure is not on the list, your list is rubbish

funny...Kolo is and has been one of the best center-backs in Europe for a while. The problem with some of the responses is that the bias is so blatant. If Nigeria has Martins, Enyeama, Odiah and Taiwo on the team, then we know the list is not objective. I was looking for opinions on Africa's best 11 not Nigeria and some players from other countries. Currently most African's would take Wome over Taiwo and Ebeaue over Odiah. Martins would not be ahead of Drogba and Eto. Finaly Nigeria has no outstanding defensive midfielder; Zakora, Essien, Diarra and Toure are better than anyone in Nigeria's team. The problem with some of the forum members is that just like the NFA, they have this belief that Nigeria always has the best players so they don't prepare because they think they are way better. Same as Ghana, Mensah is suddenly better than Kolo..... rubbishmardingobob wrote:Mensah and kuffour are better and currently playing better ball than jahidi and Kolo Toure. what mensah has done this month alone is just unbeilievable. jahidi please.. Was he not in the game that they conceeded 4 golas to a relegation bound team?

It is all relative. If i had a chance to build a team this would be my first eleven because of potential.
