Be good to see him actually play!
Day 5: Switzerland vs Cameroon | Uruguay vs South Korea | Portugal vs Ghana | Brazil vs Serbia
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Cameroon have lost their last 8 games at World Cups and have 1 win in their last 17.
I had no idea they'd been so terrible.

The way Cameroon played as soon as they went one goal down, you’d have thought they were leading. Got what they deserved in the end.
So then fellow reds, are we going petty and backing Ghana today, or rising above and supporting Bruno and Diogo?

Yeah and such a damn shame. Sub-Sahara African countries almost undoubtedly have so much talent, they certainly have the physical attributes for it. If you see that a country like Nigeria has a population total of England, Germany and France combined, it's painful that they can't even qualify these days. Lack of infrastructure and talent development likely the main issues, but nonetheless a shame imo. It would be a great addition to the WC if African countries could compete on a regular basis.
Ghana 2010 was very cool.
Strange match, maybe the humidity/conditions are bad today?
Large periods of time when trailing they played 7-2-1, truly baffling
fixed for you!So then fellow reds, we are backing Ghana today!
I choose feck Ronaldo.
You very welcome!
Switzerland are just well organised and experienced and once they got that goal Cameroon didn't have the know-how to break them down.
Almost no humidity at all, 27%
Some teams look like they're all shattered by the 50th minute.
Brazilians are very excited to see de Arrascaeta : )How I think we will line up. Araújo and de Arrascaeta apparently miles from being fit to play.
Don’t know if he’s commentated before but Andros Townsend came across like a natural and really likeable. Should be on England games going forward instead of that miserable prat Jenas.
Yeah fair enough, I very nearly didnt bother watching the second half
Pellestri like Cavani playing more games for country rather than club.
Pellistri. Too big for the PL, the WC is his stage.
Wild how he doesn’t get a min for us but plays for a good country at the World Cup.Pellistri. Too big for the PL, the WC is his stage.
Yeah man. Keeping Chavani out the team.
m
same feeling. Was furious as I had money on a draw - they played like they didn’t even want to equalize

Mad that he can't even get off our bench for a game, starting in a world cup opener.
Let's hope he has a storming world cup, then that be another unreal talent we got.
Obvs he already a top talent, but hasn't had much chance to show that, very young as well
Had his moments at Gladbach but was often injured or had once and off-field story which didn't help him. Was better the last few months at Gladbach. But I think the switch to Monaco was good for him. From what I read he is playing good football there and has also decent numbers. Hope he finally grew up. But looks fit and ready to go. Let's see what he will offer in the next two games...
Is hannibal lecter playing ?
Looking forward to seeing the Korean butcher play for the first time to see if he lives up to the hype.
I remember him doing a bit of TV work before and being very likeable then too.
The entire back four plus the goalkeeper for South Korea has the same last name 
a commentators nightmare.
a commentators nightmare.GK: Kim
DF: Kim, Kim, Kim, Kim
DF: Kim, Kim, Kim, Kim
The entire back four plus the goalkeeper for South Korea has the same last name
That’s got to be a first
It's three times at the start and two times at the end of the name so I think only three of them have Kim as last name, don't they?The entire back four plus the goalkeeper for South Korea has the same last name
At least looking at how they did Son's name: Son Heung-Min. I have no idea how names work in South Korean.
Hope Pellestri has a great game.
Come on Korea!
Did the Uruguayan players forget the lyrics?
Same. Even if he doesn’t have a future here then will be a great opportunity to put himself in the shop window.
What a brilliant anthem that is
Could be, but when I checked the line-ups on livescore, it showed up like this:
Fair enough! LiveScore app shows it differently so don't have a clue.
Come on Uruguay. Hoping they get far in the tournament.
Could be, but when I checked the line-ups on livescore, it showed up like this:
Yeah it's the family name. There's not the same variety in family names in Korea so there's lots of Kim and Lee.
He is injured. I know some Flamengo fans who actually think Uruguay has the BPITW and Neymar could only dream of being as good. Fanbois
Holy shit!! Is that the Varela that played for us years ago ?
It's absolutely wild that Pellistri starts for Uruguay at a World Cup but doesn't get any minutes at all at club level
