AFRICAN NATIONS CUP!

Huge excitement builds around the African Nations Cup in Ghana this month. Several African superstars are going to miss a month of soccer from their top flight clubs to play for their nations. Just after coming back from injury for Barcelona, Samuel Eto'o is leaving Spain to play for Cameroon. So are Didier Drogba, Obafemi Martins, Sulley Muntari, Kolo Toure and Momo Sisoko plus countless others. The prospect of this cup of stars is enticing to say the least.

ETO'O RETURNS!

After being absent for six months, Samuel Eto'o is back with a bang at Barcelona. Even though he will be absent for the Spanish club when he is away at The African Nations Cup he seems to be making up for lost time. A goal against Mallorca, two against Murcia and another double against Valencia has propelled Barcelona to second in Spain and has inspired attractive soccer back to the team. He is a regular scorer for the Catalan club and has formed a nice partnership with Thierry Henry. He is in good form and will probably star for Cameroon in The African Nations Cup.
