Re: [WC 2022] Cameroon vs Brazil(1-0)
Do you know the last time Cameroun had a decent showing at the World Cup even with Eto'o?
Allow the man to celebrate getting 4 points at the World Cup and handing Brazil its first-ever loss at the group stages and add its ever loss to an African country at the World Cup.
So many firsts for Eto'o and Cameroon.
THERE WAS A COUNTRY...

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

Congrats to Cameroon for getting back to winning ways at the World Cup after 20 years.
However, we can't read too much into this result. The teams that appeared to have secured their places in the next round after 2 games all lost their last game. Spain, France, Portugal, and Brazil, giving even perennial wastepipe teams like Tunisia a win.
The only top teams without a loss so far are England and Netherlands. Something is going on in this world cup. It appears the weather is taking a toll on the big teams, so they're resting their players as there are still many games left to win the cup.

For all those whining about the red card:
Look at the reactions of fans. They loved it. Nobody is calling him stupid. It's just a classic world cup moments and will go down in history.

But I won't deny him his moment in the sun... yeah, I know it is like winning the tallest midget trophy but he can point to this point as vindication that his methods work and should be given more time and resources.
This is the best they have looked since 2002. That is 20 years, man!

Re: [WC 2022] Cameroon vs Brazil(1-0)
Why is it that on CE we just yank players out of teams after 45 or 90 mins of football? You can’t buy experience. We tried that once with Pa Oni and the result was a disaster. Ended our golden generation and we’ve never gotten back there. The other day someone said Di Maria’s time is up and Ronaldo should retire, crazy commentary.marko wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:29 pm well anyway we live and learn, lessons learned I hope, the Ayew brothers surely must have seen their last World Cup, they did not offer anything, the big disappointment was Nigeria! with all our talent, probably the best in Africa, we allowed Ghana to sucker punch us only to screw up

This is the best they have looked since 2002. That is 20 years, man!
But his methods do NOT work!
They failed at AFCON
They failed here also.
Let's not deceive ourselves.
This is what failure looks like.
Apart from a few players, most of the squad is on its last legs. A system of inequity is being built into the team at every level.
And you call his methods working?
I hate to imagine what failure looks like to you!

Some of the hardest-working people in corporate America and healthcare (my 2 areas) are people of African descent aka Blacks. They are the least recognized and rewarded. We have to work twice as hard.

Lets not fool ourselves. The experienced players we reference here are those living on past glories. Playing in the boondocks and expecting to be selected for the NT.
Heck, even Asamoah Gyan expected to be called up!
Burun uba!

Bro, you are too smart to be talking like this. The Brazil team outplayed the Cameroonian team and should have beaten them by 5 goals.SylverEagles wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:15 pmExactly my point.

Cameroon won, and for me thats the most important thing and final. However, when people say "the Brazil B team is better than a lot of A teams," I am sure you know what they mean. It doent mean they wont lose some games. After all Madrid, Man City, Bayern are better than a lot of teams, but still lose games, here and there.

Very true. But at the time of that celebration, anything could still happen. Its the mentality we are speaking about.

Hopefully African countries will learn and stop being naive.
On the naive point, see my post to Marko above and ask yourself if you prefer to be defined by others
African countries are not naive, certain African fans on the other hand???

A lot people cheering this are people for whom African teams are just there to add colour.
Who still see Africa though "Eric the Eel" lenses. Plucky amateurs here to add exoticism to the 1st round before heading home. This only feeds into that mentality.
Contrast with Germany v costa rica they, the Germans, knew the tide was not in there favour but after every goal they scored they rushed to get the game restarted.

Re: [WC 2022] Cameroon vs Brazil(1-0)
I'm sorry, but getting sent off at the World Cup can never be something good for player or country. I know he did that on purpose, as he had already given up on making it to the next round. But it goes down in the history books. Maradona said it haunted him for years. They're still mocking Song about being sent off until today. It put a black stain on Zinedine Zidan's world cup history.
BTW, taking your shirt off when you're already on a yellow is a very selfish thing to do. Your team goes a man down, reducing the chances of scoring again. Brazil could have also capitalized on the situation and scored a quick goal.
