9 - Samuel Eto'o

[La Furia]

Samuel made it on the cover of ESPN magazine this week. I noticed it as I was sorting mail at work. I stopped to show my coworkers and no one knew who he was. I explained that the WC was coming up and they didn't know what that was either. It just makes me sad that no one around here has a clue about any of these great footballers. It's depressing.

+100

if they don't like football, they won't know the players, that's for sure... I mean, why would they?

however, if they do watch football, and not know the players, then yes, it is depressing.

 

[barcetia]

well yeah obviously. but if you don't know who messi is, and you're born in the 80s or 90s, then you have to either be a girl that doesn't socialize with boys or retarded.

I go through the same thing day in day out at the hospital, I am having a hard time getting off enough time to make a trip for the world cup..

My brother was born in the 80's and he doesn't have a clue as to who Messi is. I wouldn't call him retarded....well I will admit I've probably called him retarded more than once. People are just uneducated about Football around here.

 

[yusuf]

agree. he is part of general culture already

well maybe in your guys part of the world where football is the #1 sport, here in north america almost nobody knows who messi is or watch any football at all besides the world cup

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

I found out about Messi on my own, not from socializing with guys. I'm special

 

[barca96]

etoo bought each of the members from the cameroon squad a 29k pound watch for qualifying for the WC.
eat that roger milla! not caring about the team....i bet he was just mad at etoo for not hooking him up with one luxury watch

 

[Galning]

Are you serious?
By the way, doesn't he have his own line of jewelry & watches?

 

[La Furia]

Eto'o gets Inter their first trophy of the season with a brace.

I suspect he might score a bit more under Benitez compared to Drogba, Rafa is much more of an orthodox coach.

 

[10Rivaldo]

Didn't realize Drogba already went into the coaching business.

 

[Barcilliant]

Eto is DA man. Would have loved to see Eto, Messi & Villa together.

 

[dalitis8]

...ahhhhh....that damn swap deal....

...if it wasn't for that we would now possess Eto'o/Villa/Messi as our attacking trident...and with all of that cash NOT spent on Ibra....we would have gotten Cesc as well....
