In Yaounde, chatter is at full steam in taxis, offices, schools, markets,
on the TV and radio stations, in the bars... almost everyone criticising the untameable
Lions for their poor-play, but also commending them too- Cameroon has the best
attack, (ten goals!) and the best striker, Eto' Fils. The Cameroons
don't forget to encourage their team. In my country, where everyone assumes the
position of coach, there is plenty of speculation. There are those who think the
team was unprepared for the CAN, so they can only get better. And what's
coming, only a match with Tunisia!
People are telling themselves that the Eagles can be overcome because they're
also badly prepared. But some think that in light of their last three
matches, the Tunisians could be tactically and technically stronger. Me, I count
on the mental persistence of our players."
