WC 2014 - Match 2 - Mexico vs Cameroon

[Green]

I expect the indomitable lions to take this at a canter.

Talk of earliest WC memory reminds me of their victory over Argentina in 1990 - they're a team for the big occasion and what bigger stage than the world cup finals.

1-1 por moi

[Ouroboros]

Mexico are awful.



Thanks.

Mexico are not the best, but I watched Cameroon vs Moldova on Saturday. Cameroon were horrible, and basically rely on 1 player. Think Mexico will sneak it.

[Ascotexgunner]

Another draw for me to open up the tournament. Cameroon arnt what they were and Mexico have been awful lately.

I'm a going 1-1 here. Neither of these teams will leave a long-lasting impression on the tournament, unless they do somethign crazy.

2 teams with not a lot between them, or indeed at all. I'm going for a very boring 0-0 hors d'oeuvre for the main event at 8pm.

I think Cameroon will win comfortably win. Maybe 2-0. Song should boss the midfield and with Etoo upfront i see no other outcome.

Cameroon have such a dearth of talent in the midfield, they actually play Song as an attacking midfielder behind the strikers. If Mexico were anywhere but CONCACAAF, they wouldn't have had a sniff of qualification, which is surprising considering they won Olympic gold 2 years ago


2 teams whose reputation dwarfs their actual ability IMO. I can see this being a high scoring comedy of errors.

2-2

Yeah, probably this.

[Sutekh]

Both sides are pretty poor compared to previous tournaments they've been in so actually hoping for a belter of a game with loads of goals and a few sendings offs/punch ups thrown in.

Think Cameroon will edge it though.

[Ian Royal]

Cameroon 2-1 Mexico

Unless there's a ref favouring Mexico

[Ouroboros]

Ooohh, topical.

[davidstarkey]

Think Mexico will just nick it 2-1. Don't expect either of them to qualify though, they're both dogshit.

[wingnut]

Decent goal incorrectly ruled offside already. Cameroon a shambles at the back, quelle surprise.

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

poor from the 4th official. dos santos's goal should have stood, that was not offside.

[wingnut]

Another perfectly legitimate goal by Dos Santos incorrectly ruled out.

[Sutekh]

Are the officials playing by new laws of the game or are they just incompetent?

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

should be 2-0 mexico absolutely unbelievable.
