Cameroun, Burkina Faso lose in friendlies
CAMEROUN and Burkina Faso both lost to Spanish regional sides over the weekend.

Guardian sports today.

The Lions, composed mainly of young players based in Cameroun on the fringes of Nations Cup selection, went down 0-1 to a strong Community of Valencia side scattered with Spanish internationals.

Burkina's Stallions, meanwhile, crashed 0-4 to a modest Navarra outfit that was representing its region for the first time.

The only time Cameroun's goalkeeper Dominique Emane was beaten was in the 44th minute, from close-range by Atletico Madrid's Javi Moreno.

Otherwise Emane had an excellent game, topped by saving a penalty just after the break.

Another Lion who roared was midfielder Jean Blaise Bouli, who went close to scoring an early goal with a thunderbolt after 15 minutes and was a constant presence in the middle of the field.

Former Cameroun international goalkeeper Jacques Songo'o was on hand and saw much to be happy about from the candidates to become fully-fledged Lions.

"I am sure you will see many of these players featuring in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers," commented Songo'o, who is still on the books of the Spanish first division club Deportivo La Coruna.

Burkina's Stallions that faced Navarra were more like ageing war horses, with eight of the 17 who saw action on Sunday being survivors from Burkina Faso's famous charge to the 1998 African Nations Cup semi-finals.

Some may soon be sent to the abattoir after their poor display against a team of little known Spanish first and second division players.

Goalkeeper Abdoulaye Soulama conceded two goals before half time and was then replaced at the break by Mohammed Kabore.

The new man could not do any better and also let in two.

The humiliation could have been much worse as both men were continuously exposed by inept defending.

I wonder why Vindave is obsessed with all this meaningless propaganda.

Fact is, SE have NOT started preparing, with the bulk of the final 22 still absent from camp.

This is the kind of team that you beat in the LG Cup 3-0. So I will not place too much importance on it.
