Cameroon's Indomitable - A shadow of Old Lions

Much has been expected of Cameroon. Twenty-four years ago, the Indomitable Lions lit up an otherwise drab World Cup in Italy. A victory in the opening match, against Maradona’s Argentina, was superseded by a near knockout of England in the quarterfinals.

This has been a World Cup to forget with tensions in the squad sky-high. After almost refusing to board their plane to Brazil over financial disputes, the nation is still coming to terms with star midfielder Alex Song being sent off for throwing a ridiculous elbow at Mario Mandzukic. Things got worse in their last outing when Tottenham Hotspur left-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto headbutted his own teammate Benjamin Moukandjo.
