Lots of people won't understand his feeling, I am a Nigerian/Irish. At that moment, he's got a very confused feeling, happy and guilty feeling, you don't want to hurt either of your country, he was so brave to play the match, not everyone will understand it until you get there, I can't play against Ireland and I can't play against Nigeria, my two great countries, overcoming the trauma if I should score any goal against any of my country is very difficult. I know how he feels, in reality the two goal post are his..
Ngannou, Embiid, Embolo. Cameroonians are a strong and proud nation 🇨🇲 🇨🇲 🇨🇲
Evidently not that proud, or they'd be playing for Cameroon.
@@feensta you know... you've got a point.
correction embolo is from switzerland
If Embiid is that proud of being cameroonian then why has he decided to play for France? 😂
@@riverbear5779 to actually form a threat to US dominance on the international basketball scene
He scores and then you suddenly remember he is from Cameroon. Nonsense
Lol
It was awesome to see Shaqiri and Xhaka be directly involved on Switzerland's first goal of their last World Cup
Xhaka is 30 , so he can play another wc if he keeps his fitness
@@TheQwe123460 good point
The Cameroon football association has to invest on players best in Cameroon. It's not bad to go for guys that are based in Europe but it becomes difficult once that happens. Mbappé, Umtiti, Saliba, Embolo, Tchouaméni, Moukoko, Armel Bella Kotchap the list goes on. These are players that may have Cameroonian origins and names, but they also grew up outside of Cameroon. You can't get on them for choosing otherwise because Cameroon is not the only thing they know. I can guarantee you that almost all of these players have never even stepped foot in Cameroon. They might eat Cameroonian food or listen to Cameroonian music but for them, the country they play for now represents something different. For all we know, these guys didn't go to school in Cameroon and they didn't learn soccer there either. In my opinion it's more easier to convince someone who grew up for most of their life in Cameroon (including their adolescent years) to play for them because they only know Cameroon at that point. There's no dilemma about how they grew up outside Cameroon despite it being their country of origin so they have to choose between one and the other... no.
Fair play to him. He played really well to earn that result
Playing for the country that gave him the opportunities in life I understand 100!
Why do some salty people in the comments always think it’s their choice what country players should play for?🤦🏼♂️🤣
Wish everyone knew what Embolo means in my home language 😂😂
Please, can you tell me what it means, I am a compatriot, but Anglo, no problem and thanks
Someone says it mean an external organ/body part in their language…😂
@@dennisnjinyam Lol Embolo means hello
Good for him he can celebrate how he wants. He may have been born in Cameroon, but his talent was developed & nurtured in Switzerland & that's a fact. If the talent in Africa was endless as people claim they would be doing well without needing the foreign born & foreign based who are now citizens of another.
No. Get out of Switzerland
@Marc E Save your breath lol
@@KDanes bro go and cry u racist
Who do you send so many pundits to Qatar, if are not even allowed to show highlights of the game???
Well said 👌
You cannot 100% swiss or 100% cameroon. He loves one better but he apreciates the other for what they provide. Its same feeling for many migrants living abroad.
my team beat France and Spain, they are better than Brazil, I think that on Monday we will beat them.🇨🇭
Why is it Switzerland players always score against their country of origin? Shaqiri against Serbia in 2018 and now Embolo against Cameroon in 2022
Shaqiri is from Albania, not Serbia.
Whoa Shaqiri is definitely not from Serbia
Terrible take
@@benjaminbronnimann3966 He was born in Switzerland, but his family is from Kosovo.
Harry Kane wears rainbow watch just before match against Iran..hope he wears same watch before England get knocked out in the round of sixteen...
No, someone who is born in Cameroon and has most if not all of their relatives there is not as much Swiss as someone rotted in Switzerland going back generations.
Why can't he be a Cameroonian living in Switzerland?
This goes for all combinations of course, it's not specific to Camerron and Switzerland.
I've noticed people only feel a certain type of way about it when it's assumed that the person had to have felt forced to leave their homeland for one reason or another. But if we are talking about a brit living in the US or something then it's just a brit living in the US.
Because that’s not how identity works, He’s spent 80% of his life in Switzerland, he’s had Swiss citizenship for 8 years, hes spent his life in Swiss schools played years of Swiss football, speaks the languages, votes, using Swiss taxes dollars in part to become a Swiss scorer at the World Cup, genetics have nothing to do with nationality
@@leonthethird7494 Your nationality has nothing to do with your identity. You can't identify as a different nationality. You either are or you are not.
Where he is and what he is doing there doesn't change it.
His history is not there, his people are not there, he doesn't look like the Swiss etc. He is not Swiss. He is a Cameroonian legally living in Switzerland and there is nothing wrong with that nor does it limit his rights in the country.
@@laddanerskit3199 the Swiss government considers him Swiss, you’re just a somewhat racist goofster on CZcams,
@@davidmontgomery1442 Meaning he is there legally. Doesn't make him Swiss. What would you call someone with dual citizenship?
At best I can give you Swiss-Cameroonian but he is not Swiss in the same way the blond, blue-eyed Swiss kid with Swiss ancestry is.
@@leonthethird7494 Because he is just a name on a paper. He is not Swiss in the same way an actual Swiss is. Got nothing to do with racism, things either are or they are not. I will not pretend for some post-modern fuckery.
You sound like one of those fluid people.
African Players not representing their country is on a rise. They need to bring a rule where African must represent their countries
Just take away freedom of choice already.
No. Africans do represent their countries. Europeans represent theirs.
Then France would not have a team….
Germany wouldn't have any strikers
If the do that France will be suck.
So he uses Switzerland for a paycheque, but is actually Cameroonian. Gotcha.
Bro can't u guys understand this situation??? He was born in Cameroon but he was raised in Switzerland. U probably would choose the country u raised.
@@DuxtrapHD I would choose the nation of my blood, hence the word "nation".
You realise international football doesnt really pay?
Perhaps he shouldn't be playing for Switzerland, and should instead be playing for Cameroon. Simple.
If he had scored an intentional own goal I might agree. 🙄.
How' bout he should do whatever he wants and yoi mind your own business?
Why? People are allowed to migrate & seek better opportunities
@@Tripleexel I honestly hate it when people make stupid comments regarding a footballer's backgrounds and whatnot. Personally, I don't why he didn't celebrate, I know he's Cameroonian but still...
@@neocell710 That's his choice. We can't project our feelings onto people
