'France Football' chose their Dream Team and complemented it with another two historic XIs amongst which there wasn't a single African player. Something that Samuel Eto'o exploded about, who may have hoped for one of them.

33 players were chosen by journalists around the world to occupy the three historic XIs of 'France Football'. They were the gold, silver and bronze ones.

A lot was spoken about of big absences such as Iker Casillas, Carles Puyol and Dani Alves, that Cruyff didn't enter the first team... but what about the African players?

That is what the journalist Osasu Obayiuwana was wondering. "How can 'France Football' pick three Ballon d'Or teams with not a single African player amongst 33? It's not credible at all...... No Eto'o or Weah, at least?".

And this lit the fuse that made Samuel Eto'o explode. The historic ex-Barcelona player was brief and crystal clear on Twitter: "Us Africans don't exist".

A message of indignation because of that absence that he precisely could have filled.
