Cameroon 0-Japan 1

"a date which will live in infamy"-
Franklin D Roosevelt

Cameroon suffered its own Pearl Harbor to the Japanese except this time the blow was almost fatal.
the problem with the side was the lack of cohesiveness within the team. players were not making runs off the ball and it made it easy for the Japanese to maintain their shape in defence and in midfield. once the Japanese scored there was almost a sense of deja vu. the Lions found it increasingly difficult to penetrate the Japanese defence. only when Geremi came on was there some width. Stephane Mbia's 30 yard strike that cannoned off the crossbar failed to hide the tactical limitations of coach Paul Le Guen.

Goodbyes before travelling to South Africa











The National side were given an "official " farewell prior to leaving for South Africa. Personally i see it as a waste. they should cut all this out and focus on preparing for the task at hand. anyway here are the pictures of the "send-off" all picture courtesy of Camfoot(www.camfoot.com)
