Soccer - Shame On Cameroon!

Cameroon's World Cup campaign has been a shambolic embarrassment, not just for the country, but also for the game of football.

Forgive the lazy narrative, but Africa's hopes at the 2014 World Cup are looking pretty grim. While Algeria has been the most impressive and most organised African side so far, Ghana's showing has been unfathomable, Nigeria's has been lacklustre, and Ivory Coast has shown flickers of promise.

And then there is Cameroon. With zero points from their games so far and Brazil to come, Cameroon looks likely to extend its embarrassing record of having lost the last six World Cup matches, the worst record of any African country.

The Indomitable Lions, perhaps, have been the most embarrassing and the most disappointing. Prior to the start of the World Cup, the Confederation for African Football (CAF) had promised they would fight for more African team spots at the World Cup, provided they had a case to show for it. Cameroon has single-handedly written off that case.

Imagine having to be the guy from CAF who tries to argue in favour of more qualifying places when all you have to show for it is poor discipline and lacklustre...
