It's a friendly on a crappy pitch. He might not play, to avoid the risk of picking up a needless injury. Same reason Yaya Toure isn't playing.

Also Puma's jerseys are ungodly too tight.

FIFA should have let Cameroon rock the "suns out, guns out" shirts back in 2002.

Old Man Samu will probably causes some tight buttholes for Brazil, Croatia or Mexico with an early goal in the group stages.

Samu´s good folk. He´s light hearted, light headed, but a ferocious beast on the pitch.

Real Madrid made him, but I think his way of being when off the pitch, threw them off. Yet another mistake in Chamartín.

I don´t know if he still plays because he loves it, or because he needs money (God knows he´s made a ton, and God knows he´s spent a ton and a half).

Good guy.

He gives a ton of money towards sustainable humanitarian organizations in Cameroon.

I don't think he ever got the credit he deserved by English speaking media, because he only just recently played in the Premier League and never had much of a national team. In his prime, he was the best African player ever.

He was, without a doubt. The shite Cameroon had to put up with, when playing against other African sides (visiting, obviously), was ridiculous.

I guess the only real competition he has for the title is Drogba, who had a better national team in his prime, and George Weah of Liberia, who played for the great Milan sides of the 1990s.

Roger Milla probably gets more credit than he deserves, because he scored as an old man against England and he was the only African player who did anything before the 1990s.

This argument is of course moot if we consider Eusebio an African player.

He wouldn´t have done shite, had he stayed in Mozambique. He´s Portuguese.

I´m still waiting for an Ecuatorial Guinea beast of a player, to play for Spain. Benji, or whatever his name is, almost got there.

There are a bunch of Eto'o's recruits in La Masia right now that might turn into decent dual national players.

Del Bosque on Navas: ´It breaks my heart to see the shape he´s in right now. He´s fine physically, but he´s not been playing for two months. ´

Cameroonians? They´d play for France (well, that´s the assumption, but I could see them decanting for Spain).

They're Cameroonians, but I doubt they'd be eligible for France, because they've only lived in Cameroon previously before joining the cantera. I think a few of them are on the list of the list of illegally recruited players that got Barça the transfer ban.

Jean Marie Dongou played center forward for the first team a few times this year.
