Cameroon goalkeeper Charles Itandje, thanks largely
to his Mohawk haircut, bears a striking resemblance to Mr T from the
1980s US hit TV series 'The A Team'.
Sadly he and the 'Indomitable Lions' have
played more like a B team. His haircut is where Itandje's similarities
to Mr T seem to end and not just because he isn't weighed down by heavy
gold jewellery.

Neymar - The Difference Maker
Neymar has scored seven goals in his last six Brazil appearances. Red hot.
You think about the great players, they have had a World Cup when they

Cameroon's Indomitable - A shadow of Old Lions
Much has been expected of Cameroon. Twenty-four years ago, the
