Eto'o celebrates Club World Cup goal with plastic bags

As owners Massimo Moratti demanded, Inter won a Club World Cup upon Saturday, beating TP Mazembe 3-0. While this fact remains unconditionally unimportant to a vast infancy of football fans upon this planet, what was interesting was Samuel Eto'o's idea jubilee after putting Inter up 2-0 in a final.

Once he scored, Eto'o jogged over to a Inter dais and was handed a span of plastic bags, which appeared to contain a water bottle in each. He did a small dance with them, afterwards was hold up by Marco Materazzi. But what was with a plastic bags? Was it a approach of reminding himself to go food shopping later? Was he display his allegiances in a eternal question of paper or plastic? Had he been sniffing glue progressing which day?

One possible answer is that, as he told Time Magazine, when Eto'o was a kid in Cameroon, he would "play barefoot with balls which you made out of plastic bags, wrapped parsimonious and firm with tape."So perhaps a bags were a reference to his own childhood in Africa after scoring a idea against a initial African team to ever have a Club World Cup final?
