The list is crap. He has Javier Saviola for Argentina but not Roman Riquelme, Redondo or Pablo Aimar who are better players. He also had El Hadji Diouf for Africa but not Sameul Eto'o (3 times African Player of the year), Kanu (APY '96 and '99), Kalusha Bwalya (APY 1988) or Thomas Nkono (APY '79 and '82).
