Samuel Eto’o has urged everyone in the Cameroon set-up to unite in order to help the team qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, BBC Sport reports.

Cameroon are locked 0-0 with Tunisia going into Sunday’s play-off second leg and Eto’o has promised to set aside his own long-running issues with the Cameroon Football Federation  to focus on the game.

“Let’s bury our differences to qualify the team for the World Cup”, Eto’o said.

The Indomitable Lions skipper had alleged that his team-mates failed to pass to him during the first leg, adding on Thursday that there is video footage to confirm his claim.

The striker told coach Volker Finke that such behaviour should no longer happen in the national team, the German seemed not to be aware of any such incidents on the pitch.   Eto’o said, “The game has to do with Cameroon and our country, let us forget our differences. Even if somebody would not greet me after the game, there is no problem.

“Those who defend the Federation and those who do not, we are all Cameroonians and I don’t want polemics ahead of this game. On Sunday we have to do everything to qualify.”
