BYE TEAM CAMEROON
If there’s an African team that didn’t
deserve to play in this World Cup, that would be Cameroon. Literally, no wait…seriously,
they didn’t even qualify, well they did on a technicality. Then when they got
the golden opportunity they decided to start with some drama, men with drama
not so cool, they went on a strike and refused to go to Brazil if their
allowances and bonuses were not paid, I wish they had just let the opportunity
pass, declined to show up in Brazil. Not that its Samuel Eto’o’s work to pay
player allowances or Alexander Song’s, but they are among the world’s best paid
players, their leadership of this team could have been crucial. Once they
landed in Brazil everything went from bad to worse, here why: -
·
They
played more as individuals and not as once as a TEAM. I saw Alexander Song and Neymar
showing more team spirit than our African boys during the game. (Well in
another league, in another place, they are.)
Cameroon was a team of unequals and you bet they proved it more than
once. Their egos were way bigger than their team spirit and game, and their
side shows kept us entertained but for the one billion African fans they were
hugely a big disappointment.
·
Their game was too physical, I found it wise to say
a silent prayer every time the ‘boys’ took to the field. ‘Dear Lord, help this
team to be slow to anger…no red cards, just the yellow please…thank you.’ I
mean did you see poor Neymar pushed from the back, while he was already off the
pitch, that meaningless physical assault came out of nowhere. They were also
physical towards each other, I get it whenever a team loses at such events the tendency
is to blame another team member, but do it in the dressing room, but the golden
rule should be ‘headbutting your teammate
is not cool.’

Now that Cameroon are out of the world
cup, I would hope before the next tournament not hear about strikes, I also
hope they deal with their issues at anger management classes because in all
their games they truly deserved to loose, and most importantly, I hope they
learn to play as a team, not as big names that play for top clubs in Europe and
poorly paid home grown players.
Oh well! Adios! And please return the
bonuses, as a sign of good will.
Guys the whole world is
watching stop it
