I think I can Tell you two possiblities either experimenting or over confidant and hence were purged dully i.e. Cameroon vs Gabon or Algeria vs Mozembique or Ivory coast vs Burkina they were expected to win Easily and thought they would get a walk in the park instead they got a stiff battle. as for Eygpt vs Nigeria well we were simply a better side it could have just as Easily been them walking away with that goal margin on another day but that day was our day we were more skillfull and creative than them and they tried hard hence the Answer to your Question Bakari

Hey Jonathan. Precisely, it’s through injury. We’ve been missing him for two years almost. He has a knee injury that is quite tricky apparently. Potentially career threatening so they are taking the rehab really really reaaaaaaaaaalllllyyyyy slow. We keep hearing one return date and then it gets pushed back so they stopped giving return dates (they as in FC Zurich). Let’s just hope he eventually recovers because he is not only our best player but has potential to be one of the best on the planet. I don’t think that’s an exaggeration and most people who have watched him play agree.

Good list. Emana should be in there though, class player highly underrated. Gedo looks class as well. New Aboutreika?

Can anyone tell me where Yassine Chikhaoui is these days? Anyone from the Tunisia WCB know why he wasn’t in the squad? I’m guessing through injury…

I believe Samuel Eto’o is still the undisputed king of african football and a all round best striker in the world alongside messi, henry, kaka, ronaldhino

I would have gone with Achille Emana instead of Kameni. He is a criminally underrated player and was one of the best players in La Liga last year despite being on a dreadful Real Betis side that got relegated. For me he is the engine that makes Cameroon go these days.

zeik, people from Moçambique speak Portuguese. Just not with a Brazilian accent, to be fair. And the Elias in the video above speaks with a very strong Brazilian accent, which suggests he might indeed be the Corinthians central midfielder linked with Roma and At. Madrid back at the end of last season.

that video of elias seems to of an elias that plays for corinthians and speaks portuguese, so maybe not the same person?

well, Geddo is an excellent striker and still young; this is his first tournament and second international game and his second goal as well; he plays for Al Ittihad of Alexandria he has very good finishing skill and he is physically good.

Shikabala is an attacking midfielder; he is a ronaldinho-like player; extremely talented, outstanding dribbling skills, he is very fast and he has a very powerful left foot; his only problem is being moody, if he is happy you can expect great football from him but if otherwise, he can be rubbish.
