Would a team made of the best players from Africa win the World Cup?

As far as other continents go:
Europe and South America: No Brainers to win the whole thing.
North America: 50-50 chance, and probably losing the Final to the best Europe or South American team.
Asia: At the same level I'd put Africa. There are a few years they could put together a great team, but it's few and far between.
Oceania: See: New Zealand

Mane————Aubameyang————-Salah



Seri—————Gueye—————-Keita


Ghoulam——Koulibaly—-Benatia———Aurrier

———————-Kameni————————-


Guys like Mahrez, Bailly, Baldé Diao, Bakambu, Ziyech on the bench.
It would be a filthy team

They'd put together a pretty damn good team I'd say.

Forwards - Mo Salah, Sadio Mane, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Wilfried Zaha, Riyad Mahrez
Midfielders - Naby Keita, Victor Wanyama, Thomas Partey, Wilfred Ndidi, Hakim Ziyech, Mohamad Elneny
Defenders - Kalidou Koulibaly, Eric Bailly, Mehdi Benatia, Serge Aurier, Faouzi Ghoulam
Goalkeeper - Enyeama?

That's mostly just off the top of my head. There's some holes, but you could put together a very solid team with that

Crazy thing is that Germany is the best team in the world and I’m not sure they’d have a player crack a first choice European XI, Kroos and Neur are the only guys that would have an argument

Yeah, he is starting in front of Mane and it isn’t even close. Dude leads the premiere league in goals/assists over the last three years was the PFA.

I see a few of those guys were born in France. Were they not good enough to play for them, or did they have too much African pride?

Nope, not in a front 3... Though I'd argue you could play Salah off Auba and Mahrez on the left...

Wanyama and Keita in a MF 2..

shite! You’re right lol. I misread it, it’s Vardy/Mahrez have the most combined goals/assists over the last three years as a tandem.

shite.

I still think any manager starts him over Mane.

I think its debateable... But if Salah is starting on the right, Mane is starting over Mahrez on the left... I think you can accommodate both in a best 11 though..
