Why is Cameroon

Your Goddessness! You came home to your favourite place, and you did not tell me? I am not happy.

From the teams that played so far the best overall form was that of Senegal or Cameroon.

Senegal hasnt really been good. I´ll say Ivory coast, Morocco and I heard Nigeria (didnt watch them play till Tunisia) played well.

Cameroon played better than any other remaining team but are being treated as if they were just scrapping through.

Again, it is based on the level of opposition Cameroon have been facing. There is no conspiracy theory or rocket science around this. When Cameroon meet the other big boys in African football and they show what they are made of, no true football fan will deny them a high rating.

In any case, why do you care how anyone rates your team. As long as the team is taking care of business where it counts, what do you care?

One must debunk false narratives!

Egypt manager Carlos Queiroz said that Cameroon federation president Samuel Eto'o was out of line with his comments that urged the Africa Cup of Nations hosts to prepare for "war" against their semifinal opponents ahead of Thursday's meeting.

The two teams will square off at the Olembe Stadium on Thursday -- only 10 days after eight people lost their lives and 38 were injured, seven seriously, during a stampede outside of the venue ahead of Cameroon's last-16 win over Comoros.

In a video shared by the team's media outlet FECAFOOT TV following Cameroon's 2-0 quarterfinal victory over Gambia, Eto'o is shown speaking to the squad ahead of the semifinal as they look to reach the tournament showpiece for the first time since 2017.

"We have one objective, our next [game], it's Thursday," Eto'o said. "Everything you've done, you need to capitalise on it. Prepare yours, because it will be a war, my guys, a war.

"That's how you have to get fired up for this one -- a war."

Eto'o won two AFCON trophies and an Olympic gold medal with the Indomitable Lions, as well as several club titles with Barcelona.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Queiroz said the comments by Eto'o star were "unfortunate."

"It's an unfortunate comment and a very bad message to the people of Cameroon," Queiroz said. "I think he forgot that Cameroonian people died at the stadium several days ago, and so making this declaration of war before one game shows that he learned nothing from his time in professional football.

"It was a very, very unfortunate comment, because football is not about war, it's about celebration, joy and happiness.

"We are going to answer to war with football, we're going to answer football with joy," he continued. "We're here to please the people, not to make people die, but to give them fun and some joy."

After removing one quarterfinal from the Olembe Stadium while an investigation into the cause of the deadly stampede took place, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced on Sunday that the Cameroon-Egypt semifinal and the Feb. 6 final would be held at the 60,000-seater stadium only after additional safety measures were to implemented.

CAF, the local organising committee and the Cameroonian government have established greater security measures and mobilised increased resources in order to ensure the safety and security of match-going fans.

Ex-Real Madrid head coach Queiroz also pressed CAF to take action against the Eto'o.

"There are people who are starving whose only moment of happiness is when their team wins a match," Queiroz continued. "So to challenge the Cameroon team to come and play war against us is something I have to leave to CAF, because one comment like this is a red card.

"War is to protect people who die in the doors of the stadiums, people who don't have food to eat -- that is war."

On Monday, the Cameroon federation said that the players would donate their bonuses for qualification to the tournament knockout rounds to the victims of the stampede. Eto'o also paid visit to some of those still hospitalised following the crush.

I actually want Cameroon to beat Egypt. Those Egyptos are useless muthafookers, always doing big boi gra-gra when facing black African teams, but turning into frightened little mice when facing Europeans in the World Cup. But after Cameroon demolish Egypt, I want Senegal to beat Cameroon and win this edition of AFCON In fact, I am going to meet my babalawo dis evening and donate many Canadian nairas to him so he can work juju for Cameroon to lose in the final.

People get a general feel for a team. Cameroon teams from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s were very highly rated, but since then it's been so so. Consistent poor performances at the world cup also do not help. You'll notice non-Nigerians here also do not rate this Cameroonian team so it's not just a bad belle thing.

However, Cameroon has been growing as they progressed in this tournament (unlike Nigeria that peaked too early) so Cameroon may well go on to win this if they get past Egypt.

Im not talking about Woldcup performances, I´m talking about this afcon. And non Nigerians could also be suffering from Bad Bellerism.

I like the effectiveness and efficiency of this Cameroon squad.

[Riche007]

Unstable Tobi, when was this meeting with Nigerians where this deep down feelings were expressed? I am assuming you were the secretary at the meeting, right?

Rivalry for the most part, but deep down Nigerians really respect and recognize how good this Cameroon team is

My great grand uncle running riot as usual...

Comon WTF?

Egypt just setting the stage for a protest if they lose.
I hope Cameroon trash them enough, so there will be no doubt about their victory.

I don't believe your statement in general is true. Cameroon is respected by many Nigerians and a matchup between both nations is never seen as an easy one for any knowledgeable Naija fan.

Specific to this tournament though, I believe the fact that Cameroon has not faced any real test -- I mean Burkina Faso (#60) is the highest-ranking team Cameroon has faced in its 5 matches so far -- may explain why folks don't rate Cameroon highly yet.

And there you have it Goddess. Cameroon's first real test against a highly ranked team and they could neither bamba nor chill with the big boys.
