Cameroon played European heavyweights Germany as the Indomitable Lions get ready for the World Cup in Brazil, starting June 12. The match, on Sunday, played in Borussia-Park, saw the game end in a 2-2 draw as captain and star striker Samuel Eto'o bagged a goal, with Thomas Muller and Andre Schurrle scoring for Joachim Low's men.
And as he celebrated netting against Roman Weidenfeller, the former Barcelona star ran to the corner flag in celebration as he performed his rather famous pose.

The “Old Man” Eto'o celebration dates back to early this year as Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was recorded questioning his striker's age, saying he appeared much older than he really is. Eto'o, after Mourinho's comments were revealed, reacted by celebrating an English Premier League goal against Tottenham Hotspur by holding his back as he bent over, in an attempt to portray a elderly man, poking fun at the Portuguese boss.
Watch the goal by Eto'o, plus his goal celebration
And with Eto'o set to lead Cameroon's attack in the Brazil World Cup, we might witness a lot more of “Old Man' Eto'o.
