Any game links?

I think these guys will show it. They advertised it during our game. Currently showing South Africa vs paraguay

Samuel Eto'o still better than 90% of our players. Very sad.
I don't know where our players get their technical fundamentals from. We still can't shoot, can't cross and can't head the ball properly.
What are these players learning the game?

It is not only your players, this was my observation over the weekend after watching many of the games and could not believe how poor players have become technically in the last decade or so. When you have Messi and Ronaldo dominating the scene for over a decade it tells a lot about the ability of the players around.

I spent most time castigating players for stupid football play than I do enjoying the game. I have seen better days

Onana what a goalie

Great point. I do not understand the problems with players growing up in Africa but in diaspora, players are not allowed to express themselves any longer IMHO.
Everything is textbook and dictated. I volunteer for youth teams both in Canada and US and I've expressed my displeasure on many occasions. We are turning the children into Robots or Zombies. Everything is too technical from a simple pass, touches or even dribbling.
I almost burst into laughter when we were given a handout on " concussion prevention " and some doctors were asking for a moratorium on children heading the ball. How can the game be played without the ball touching the head. Na wa!

Uncle you and Uncle Bepanda are too hard on these players of today.Today a lot of social media to scout the other team the game is more technical.You talk of Messi and Ronaldo,hmmm did not Pele dominating his era?What of Maradona?Zidan nko?Ronaldinho nko?The boys are trying and today game players avoid making mistakes because of fear of benching.During your time players express them self,play freely.uncle Messi and Ronaldo with their work ethics and hunger will dominate for decade if they were playing in the 90's.Football today is more team play than individual,watch how Holland roast France and Spain.Its all on the teactics of Keoman

Since you already called me uncle , you should have left it at tht and not try to compare these bunch of sissies to the players of my time. If you think because you hear of Pele and Maradonna they were dominant like the likes of Messi and Ronaldo have been, then my bro, you should just ask for history lessons.

Kajifu,

I'm not sure I actually understand how you justify the fact that our players don't even master the most basic skills of soccer.
Cameroonian player excel because of their physical abilities. Most of them are technically extremely poor.
It pains me to even watch them play. Let's not even talk about their decision making process.
I honestly don't know what they work on. These guys are freaking professionals. They are getting paid to play the game. They should breathe, eat, drink soccer all day long for crying out loud.
They don't understand how to create separation and shoot. They don't understand how to fake another player out. How can you be a striker and not have a go-to-move to create separation?
I believe it is more an attitude problem than anything else.
Like I said earlier, I would still take Eto'o, Geremi, Wome over 90% of these joksters.
No wonder, they go from club to club, from league to league, from higher division to lower and lower divisions ...
If it wasn't for Brazil misfiring and the keeper prowess, we would have conceded 5 or 6.
We had 2 shots on goal? Maybe 3 ?

Watch the Cameroon -England game of 1990 not too long ago. The confidence with which these guys played with. The ball control. Makanaky could take on any player without fear. Nkunde doesn't need to punt the ball up field to any player. He builds up play from defence. Omam doesn't give a damn if he has Lineker or Gascoigne. I mean these guys can play ball. Could not believe that in this day and age, these supposed professionals could not string three consecutive passes.

[joplass]

Talents or not talents the coaching staff is doing a great job. This is the only Cameroonian side I have watched for a very long time with such discipline. CR7 and Messi did not win the last WC.

Uncle its not too late to ask for history free lessons from you.This is why you have to write a book uncle as you tell it as it is.
So uncle were there good players that can be compare to maradona and Pele?I know good players were around but I thought those two were above everyone else just like Messi and Ronaldo are today ?No vex I like to learn from senior uncle like you that also play the game.
Thanks

Brother Bepanda you are been hard on this guys,you are comparing them to Eto'o that is one of the best in the game.Eto'o will walk into almost any team today and start.This guys are currently African Champs for crying out loud.Brazil was lucky in this game,what you failed to see is that African players are badly treated in Europe clubs.Look at the Cameroon keeper,i don't know if any Brazil keeper is better than him and look their clubs they play for?How many open net Cameroon miss in this game?
Yes I that quality and decision making has drop but same with other teams.When we have likes of Eto'o brazil still beat Cameroon like 3-0.I think this team was unlucky to not get something out of this game.
Go to Brazil forum and see how their fans complain that this Brazil players lack basic soccer skills,they are still crying for a player to come like Ronaldo,Ronaldinho and likes of Pele.Do you think Gabriel Jesus is better than Choupo?Please players like Roger miller and Eto'o comes once in a generation.Is like some people in Nigeria keep looking for another Jay Jay and Kanu,those guys come once in a life time.Easy on this young guys that face racism in Europe and some even choose football to make a living not something they were born into it.
