Eto’o-inspired Cameroon should dare to dream, says Feutmba: A strong, confident Indomitable Lions could go a long way to dispel Africa’s inferiority complex at the World Cup
Afcon 2021 top-scorer and Cameroon captain Vincent Aboubakar is challenged by Rafidine Abdullah of Comoros.Cameroon are in a tough group for the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar and it will take something special for the Indomitable Lions to progress to the knockout stage. “Something special” can be a speciality of Cameroonian football.
Even more than the current generation, Cameroon were supposed to have been the whipping boys of their group at Italia 90. Inspired by Roger Milla, the Indomitable Lions opened their account with the biggest scalp of them all as they beat Diego Maradona’s defending champions Argentina, before going all the way to the quarterfinal where they painfully succumbed to England via an extra-time penalty.
02 July 1990 Lineker, Gascoigne, Robson and a famous scoreline which set England on their way to one of their most heart-wrenching defeats; Cameroon 2-3 England at Italia ’90 is undoubtedly one of the most fondly remembered England matches of all time. Cameroon were disappointed to exit as hosts in the semifinals of the Covid-19-delayed 2021 Afcon in February, on penalties against Egypt. Portuguese coach António Conceição lost his job soon after that, and the country’s president, Paul Biya, was reportedly as influential in the appointment of former Liverpool defender Rigobert Song as the new head coach as Cameroonian FA president Samuel Eto’o.
