Samuel Eto’o – African Cup of Nations 2019 – African Nations
Samuel Eto’o, the Cameroonian and international soccer legend, responded to the absence of any African soccer icon in the squads announced by “France Football” magazine, which included 33 players, in a brief and angry manner.
BBC journalist Osasu Obiwana wrote on Twitter: “How can France Football magazine choose 3 teams for the Ballon d’Or and there is not a single African player among 33 players? It is not credible, not Eto’o or George and that’s it”.
