caribbean change develop excited football south
I think it?s great. It?s not South Africa?s World Cup. It?s Africa?s World Cup. We are very excited about this. This will change a lot of lives. I know not a lot of the Caribbean but I think the football there can develop and we can see you more times in the World Cup.
delicate eliminated fire team
Eliminated from the World Cup, the team is going through delicate moments, but I don't think there is fire in the Indomitable Lions' den.

Each federation must have an annual audit and even if just 10 francs are missing to know who to hold to account.
anyone forgot hope last miss penalty picked pity player political quickly super
Anyone can miss a penalty and when he scored the last penalty for Cameroon, no-one said anything. We forgot it quickly and now we want to assassinate him. It's a pity he hasn't been picked as he is a super player and I just hope that it is not a political decision.

Here in Cameroon, football is our leading political party. It's football alone that that unites us, it's football alone that brings us good things - football is the window into our country - so we don't mess around with it.
