So are you going to bow down with your hats off to Mbami Mbami Modeste? Or does he need to play like Maradona to get props?
I'm sure I don't have to tell you who the weakest link is anymore.

He played super today.... nice hustle... + 2 good goals... totally overshadowed his partner, Djemba, who also quietly did some good dirty work in the midfield... but no need to overhype or underhype good players. Bamendaboy, take note

I must agree witn u, green-4life, that Jemba did his own good share of the dirty work. He did a very good job defensively. But attention was payed to those who made mistakes and those who scored or tried to score goals.

shaq, is 5-3 not a win. I know it is very uncameroonian game to score five goals, or to concede 3. But we won. Now after S.A knocks u out, u are welcomed to join us.

No thanks. I'll stick with the SE. It's only a temporary situation we are in. CCC will soon be out, and hopefully things may get better.
But enjoy all the same. You guys did well today

I might have been the one who called him the weakest link.

Having just watched Cameroon vs Zimbabwe, I am willing to eat my humble pie. 8)

Stop blaming the coach when the players don't do their job 2. I am not saying that the coach has nothing to do with it, but if the players don't do their job, don't blame the coach. So you are gonna blame the coach for Kanu and Oga coming late to camp huh?

Yes, i'll blame the coach. If he's worth his salt, he would stand his ground and give them a deadline or they'd be dropped.
He has the option of resigning if he feels he doesn't have the free hand he wants. But that is entirely a different story.
Perhaps, the players have a part of the blame too.
May be the fans too, but whatever man. Our time will come again.
You guys can enjoy now.

Abakwa, if I can remember, it was Yujam who called him the weakest link. At least Yujam has been humble enough to eat the humble pie well. Next is to accept that Diouf cannot even lick Raul's boots.

Have guys seen how matured Mbami has become since the Olympics. That boy has a great future i can assure u that.

Whenever I hype a player on this forum, Yujam and Ayoakinfe will seize the first opportunity to bash that player as a result of this trend Ayoakinfe and Yujam are sporting fully distended and distorted stomachs due to the excess humble pie they have been forced to swallow.

On a more serious note when I hyped Mbami on this forum and claimed that he might be the best player to come out of Cameroon since Milla, even my Cameroonian comrades were hesistant to endorse my hyping but this is just the beginning, mark my words Mbami will be the revelation of this tournament. He is a rugged defensive midfielder with the finesse of a playmaker, such a combination is very hard to come by at this time because the evolution of the two way midfielder is at it's infancy and Mbami embodies the concept.

Those who scoffed at my hyping please siddon look, the boy just begin.

I am curious to hear what Ayo has to say about Mbami. He said Yeye Olofinjana is better than Mbami and Djemba put together.

African Star · Post by **African Star** » Fri Jan 30, 2004 6:00 am

Ayo please take back these words on Mbami, I have told you already he will be the revelation of this ANC and is perhaps the best player to come out of Cameroon since Milla.

"In midfield too, the penetration is not there. Neither Mbami nor Djemba-Djemba have the attacking capability to pose any threat,"

(9) Dropping either Mbami or Djemba-Djemba for a better passer of the ball like Olembe

I am sure you would agree that Mbami passed and penetrated his socks of yesterday.

Mbami had a great game,but no champagne should be poured over a non-descript Zimbabwean side that has no defence and midfield.Only Peter Ndlovu and the tall ,rangy left winger were worthy of note.Also,with Cameroun deploying a 3-5-2 formation(Djemba,Atouba,Geremi,Makoun,Mbami in midfield),Mbami had the full support against lightweight opposition.Another virtuoso performance against Egypt,then I will join in drinking the champagne.
