Well... it should have counted. Just like the one in 1998 :)
Cameroon has had its fair share of bad decisions or unjust turnarounds.

Just look recently - why does it always seem to hurt the African teams?:
2014 Evra bearhugs Odemwingie - no penalty
2018 Ekong bearhugs Kramaric - penalty

All of Africa's hopes now on Senegal...

BTW Europe is having a massive World Cup. The only loss is by Germany, while the draws are Iceland vs Argentina and Switzerland vs Brasil, so its like wins for them.

All the african teams haven't conceded goals from open play. Seems like we are $#% at defending set pieces in Africa.

Do you watch football? A "pass" to the keeper has resulted in goals several times and you should know that.

Guys,
Have you considered that Ramadan may have played a role. Egypt,Tunisia, conceded late goals. So did Morocco but it was against another majoritarily muslim country. If these guys were fasting, they may not have come to the tournament 100% fit. Just saying.

Its data analytics bro and the secret is in the numbers...
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Maybe they should keep the African contingents permanent with current representatives. There won't be any future needs to ask for more.

Are you saying Allah punished them for fasting?
..or implying the fasting was a waste of time since there is no God?

Also look at Stupid South Africa voting for the US bid. The long term consequences they will suffer for such an action never occurred to them.

They did that because Morocco voted against their 2010 bid

I am afraid of that 48 teams WC. Some African nations will consistently take 5 goals or more.

"with God all things are possible"...so say the Muslims & Christians
If these guys were fasting for Allah, then Allah should have made it possible for then to play 90min at 100%
