The Afro XI: A team of footballers with afros

CM: Alex Song (Captain)

For having the audacity to sport a golden afro, Alex Song is the captain of our All-Afro XI. It’s telling that Song moved away from the afro pretty swiftly, lest he be mistaken for Djibril Cisse.

CM: Axel Witsel

A decent player and a decent afro – Axel Witsel makes it to our team comfortably. Although it remains to be seen whether the afro is that comfortable while playing.
