Costa Portugal
Hreidasson Iceland

4-3-3 and not much cover for the defence but it fits!

Don't think this has been done...

Had a mate message me, asking me to create my all time CAFC X1 to go up against his...You must have seen these people play and all eleven have to have different nationalities! Trickier than you'd think...Go!

Either it's "all time" or "Must have seen them play".

Republic of Ireland: Dean Kiely
England: Chris Solly
Germany: Patrick Bauer
Guyana: Leon Cort
Wales: Rhoys Wiggins
Iceland: Johann Gudmundsson
France: Alou Diarra
Denmark: Claus Jensen
Gabon: Frederic Bulot
Striker: Yann Kermorgant
Montserrat: Lyle Taylor

Quite easy actually

Edit: Its quite difficult actually as there are some players I'd want to include but cant e.g.

Belgium: Yoni Buyens | Cameron: Andre Bikey | Israel: Tal Ben-Haim | Angola: Igor Vetokele | Antigua: Josh Parker

There isn't a country called "Striker" so either Yann or Alou Diarra will need to be left out of your side

Oh thats annoying, I was reviewing my team and because I didnt see France listed I removed Buyens for Diarra

I have made some serious amendments to mine though as forgot the likes of Di Canio | Kishishev etc which is nothing short of criminal!!

The hard part isn't finding the eleven nationalities but leaving others out

Either it's "all time" or "Must have seen them play".

why?

Because "all time" means since 1905 where as "must have seen them play" means since you started going.  Unless someone has been going since 1905 the two are mutually exclusive.

So any player from the 1950s or before is pretty much ruled out.  Italian international Firmani, Swede Hans Jeppson, Scot Chris Duffy, etc etc ruled out.

Dont mean to pick holes, but Zhen Zhi was an attacking midfielder  

You are indeed correct although he started his career as a defender. That said, I think you are right and he is playing out of position so, after being found out and going a goal down, I've decided to re-arrange the team to this:

Kiely (Republic of Ireland)

Kishishev (Bulgaria)
Song (Cameroon)
Costa (Portugal)
Hreidasson (Iceland)

Moore (Wales)
Parker (England)

Di Canio (Italy)
Zheng Zhi (China)
Simonsen (Denmark)
 
Kermogant (France)

Smertin's a great shout.

OP stated he was creating his 'all time CAFC XI' from players he'd seen play though

Scott Carson- England

Kelly Youga- Central African Republic 
Majid Bougherra--Algerian although French born
Costa- Portugal
Hreidarrson- Iceland

Jenson- Denmark
Andy Reid- Ireland
Alexis Smertin- Russia

Di Canio- Italy
Kemerogant-France
Bartlett- South Africa 

Kiely in goal rules out Kinsella? 

Noel Dwyer - Eire

Rod Fanni - France
Sam Sodje - Nigeria 
Tahar El Khalej - Morocco


Thierry Racon - Guadeloupe
Omar Pouso - Uruguay
David Campbell - Northern Ireland
Karim Bagheri - Iran
Jamal Campbell- Ryce - Jamaica

Chris Dickson - Ghana
Tresor Kandol - Congo


EDIT: Annoyingly I've just discovered that two of my worst players are both Moroccan! Bergdich and El Kjalej.

That means 3 at the back and Bergdich goes as El Khalej was even more awful if that's possible. Karim Bagheri comes in to make it 3-5-2.

I'm busy constructing my team. What nationality was Yohann Thuram-Ulien, by the way?

Who the hell is Noel Dwyer??? 

He was Frank Worthington's father in law. Now, Worthington is 71 so it is not surprising that many will remember Dwyer!
