Cameroon footballers at the World Cup in Brazil had a good selection of players. This team could well show quality football. These are the tasks that were set before the national team of the country's football federation.
Cameroon's national team qualified for Group A at the 2014 soccer championship. The rivals of the Africans in the group stage matches were the teams of Brazil, Mexico and Croatia.
The Cameroonians played their first game in the tournament against the Mexican national team. This match was marked by many errors of the referees. Moreover, most often the referees were mistaken in the direction of the Cameroonians. However, this did not help the team from Africa to get points in the match - they lost with a score of 0 - 1.
In the second match of the group stage, the Cameroon national team met with the Croatian team. This match was the weakest for African footballers in the tournament. Cameroon players suffered a crushing defeat from the Croats (0 - 4). The Cameroon national team finished the match with seven players in its composition, so four Cameroon players were punished with a red card. After this match, disagreements began in the team. The question of bonuses was raised, other football matters were resolved. All this could not have a positive effect on the team's game itself. Therefore, they lost the final match in the group with a large score.
The last team that went to Cameroon was the Brazilian national team. The match ended with a score of 4 - 1 in favor of the hosts of the World Cup. Thus, the Cameroonians took the last place in Group A with zero in the column of points scored. The total goal difference is 1 - 9. This result was a frank failure for African footballers. Many players left the championship in a bad mood, besides that, in the very management of the national team, the next problems began. Dissatisfaction with the result has led to emotional statements from many players that now there is no desire to play for the national team.
