Cameroonian players are overrated and dull...

[kamerun]

a very unintelligent bunch of players....I mean running around with IQ's below 60 for sure. If anything, this World cup has served one purpose...to expose the fact that most of their deficiencies have been camouflaged for years by their European, South American and Asian team mates in club

Bro,

African football don die killed by useless adminstrators who are bent on flooding our national teams with players playing for yeye relegation-haunted clubs in Europe.

It is a shame that Egypt did not qualify so that the rest of the world can see the high quality domestic players rather than all this dross.

[bepanda]

When you ONLY rely on your physical attributes .. then you should be playing American Football, not soccer. Cameroon has been exposed for what it is ... a bunch of useless players with absolutely no soccer fundamentals. If 40 years old Geremi is your best player, your most dangerous player ... and your most consistent player, then you have a serious problem. And the guy can't even run ...

Cameroon soccer is a fraud.

[bepanda]

Cameroon is still living on the 1990 glory ... which was indeed a fluke of massive proportion. 1990 was a lie. It was a dream, it wasn't reality. But, everywhere you go, Cameroonians tell you about 1990 ...
In between, there has been 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010 ... and nobody wants to talk about those other dates ...
Sometimes, I wish 1990 never happened .. at least Cameroonians wouldn't confuse themselves with Brazilians ...
Cameroon is Cameroon ... let's just leave it there ...

Bepanda, 1990 was not a fluke. We played as a team then. Cameroon is not capable of making the quarter finals at evry world cup but disorganization has been a problem in 2002 and 2010. Milla was not manager player in neither in 1982 nor 1990.

Even during the era of Oman Biyik, Makanaky, Massing, Mbou Mbou and Abega, you could see that most of the players are not very technically sound...it was all brawn and nothing more.

[bepanda]

1990 WAS A FLUKE.... Period. How did this 1990 team do at the CAN the same year and the following CAN competition?
Don't bring me the Cameroonian argument that we never play well in CAN years ... that's crap.
Everyone can be lucky. If you can't come close to repeating it the next time around, then the next time ... then the next time and again the next time ... what do you call that?

The one thing I do not like about camerooninan foootbal is the lack of fluidity in their pattern of play. The rough play has been reduced but still, they are picking players based on pysical size not on skill...i guess that has worked for them for years in African football but not on the world state.

Dem be yeye team i beg.

You are displaying your lack of knowledge of cameroonian football. The team that did well in 1990 was a team that had won the CAN in 1984 and 1988, and reached the final in 1986. It was arguably the best african team of the 80's!!!!

When it is said that cameroonian players are overrated, I mean do you think that Japanese players are really better than cameroonian ones ? Than nigerian ones ? I am sorry but I don't think so. Mboma once said that If Cameroon had been as well organized as Japan is, it would already have reached a semi final in a world cup and I agree with that.

[amah]

To say that the 1990 lions were "all brawn, no brains" is a little much... If one had knowledge of Cam football, they would know we had a mix of players...some providing the enforcer role(massing, onana jules, kana biyick...etc) while still being "okay" defenders albeit a little deficient in the technical departement(game was different back then)...They also had the mfede, makanaky, mbou, and of course the milla who were actually pretty good. It's a shame most don't remember the Theophile Abega, Mbida Gregoire period(milla in his prime as well)...those guys were on par with the world class talent and VERY technically sound...

it is good ORGANIZATION. After the nations cup we spend a lot of time in central Europe preparing for the tournament.

KPOM, how anyone can rubbish the build up of the team that played in 1990 WC amazes me. Sometimes when we blame officials for lack of preparation we also need to look ourselves and the way we distort data. The simple fact of the matter is that The 1990 WC team was at it's peak, the team picked at the right time for the WC. But sadly since then lack of quality in vital areas and bad organisation has been the bane of Cameroon. But let no one rubbish the 1990 WC team, it is belittling the hard work those guys put into that competition. The only flukky about the 1990WC was Roger Milla playing the WC at the age he did and scoring.

[oloye]

The fact is team like Uruguay won the WC last so many decades ago does that make their win fluke. We need to get over this emotional outbursts and look at the real issue. In 1994 instead of consolidating on 1990 success, the Camerron Football Federation decided it was time to cheat the players embezzling their money and throwing the camp into disarray, expecting any team to perform under such condition is the reality that most African teams alway like to ignore.

Since 1994 Cameroon has not had the sort of team they had in 80's which peaked in 1990. IF we look at the circumstances sorrounding this team, we should not be suprised because in the 80's clubs from Cameroon were making waves in Africa, Tonerre Kalala, Canon Sportif, Racing Baffousam were all very strong teams around that era. Funny enough i dont even know if Tonere Kalala and Canon Sportif still exist. These are the issues we should be looking at. The fact remains keeping someone like Hayatou at CAF highlights why it appears African teams are going down. Mind you what African teams have lost is the suprise element which they use to have.

why do we always do thisa?? it come sback to haunt and hurt..we never learn.

Abega what a player......... I also remember Eugene Manga that disgraced Peter Rufai in the finals of the African champion cup in Lagos national Stadium in front Governor Jakende(Action Man) or Emmanuel Abongaye who bodied Keshi in the finals of the 1984 ANC to score the third goal against Okalla who dived out of the way

[gmoni]

when you have song hulk hogan in the team, what do you expect..

[gochino]

The cameroonian Team is made up of 97 % Physical strenght and 3% skill, and out of this 3% skill, 2% belong to Eto
