As Switzerland prepares to meet Togo for the World Cup in Germany, Temps Présent examines the situation of these African players who are the stars of European soccer. Hundreds of young Africans, under pressure from their parents, place their futures in the hands of agents who promise them a golden future in Europe. But many of them, increasingly young, end up on the streets of the major capitals: hurt, ruined and abandoned.
