Eto'o was trying to calm down those two idiots, but damn, wouldn't want to be in that locker room right now.

Typical Ekotto.

Brazil - Cameroon could be ugly if Scolari is more offensive.

They can't go out on goal difference. They either lose to Croatia or advance.

croats have 3 points and Mexico have 4. If Croatia doesn't win they don't make it to the next round.

Ekotto should have done better and talked about it with the young kid in the locker room, but it's very amateurish to be taken on 2 defenders unless your a superstar, which he clearly isn't. He had Ekotto as support and decided to waste the chance instead.

It sucks because Cameroon has some really good players. I like both N'Koulou and Mbia a lot.

Not sure why BAE starts over Bedimo either. Bedimo's looked good whenever I've seen him play at the club level.

Why isn't Kameni on the WC squad? Surely he could've done better than the bum who played today.

I'm glad Eduardo played. Top class person and still top 20 feel for the goal.

And now we wreck...amigos :)

How does a tiny little country like Croatia get so good. They have less people than the state of Minnesota!

Because all the freak athletes in Minnesota don't want to play soccer. :(

Good win for us, but I don't know how much you can look into it coming against a 10-man Cameroon. Not happy with some of the team selection.

He looks a bit like James Harden.

Defends like him, too. :lol:

Brazil is going to have a field day (If Scolari does right and plays Neymar-Fred-Hulk up front) against this Cameroon squad, especially without Song holding the midfield. I think Oscar is going to absolutely dominate the middle of the field. Hopefully they can set up a gimme for Fred to get him back into form before the knockout stages. It's a necessity.

Not to mention Cameroon's GK is one of the worse I've seen at this stage, and it was Ochoa who single handedly prevented Brazil from winning that game maybe 3-nill.

Mexico needs to show up. Lay it all on the line. Gut it out. Do whatever it takes to get the point/points. Santos needs some luck. Kid's been dangerous every game. I think they can do it. They're built for it. That goalie saved their fukcin' tournament. What a performance! As a soccer fan, I'm glad I got to see that. Some of the goaltending in this tournament has been str8 shyte, but that kid was in the zone.

For God and Country, boys.
