Qatar 2022: What awaits Cameroon

In World Cup Group G, which also includes Serbia, Switzerland, and Brazil, is Cameroon. Cameroon isn’t in the best of shape, so it will require a lot of work to get one of the two spots in the round of 16.

Brazil at five stars
Ghana and Tunisia can answer for Cameroon: Neymar’s current Brazil is just unplayable. Even worse, the Seleço, the overwhelming favorite in the competition, pretended before her opponents that they were juniors or even cadets while not holding back when she had the chance to humiliate them.

The group that included Vinicius (Real Madrid), Casemiro (Manchester United), Thiago Silva (Chelsea), and Alisson Becker (Liverpool), to name a few, had no problem humiliating South Korea (5-0), Ghana (3-0), and Tunisia (5-1) in their most recent friendlies as proof. With an unnerving ease, everything.

We cannot help but feel apprehensive for the Indomitable Lions given the current form of Tite’s club and the stark disparity in strength between the two teams.

The calm Brazilians, who are resolute and confident in their strength, are on the other side. However, a worrisome and slow Cameroon that has trouble beating groups like Jamaica (1-1) or South Korea (1-0). It will take more than Samuel Eto’o’s unbridled excitement for the Indomitable Lions to make a splash against the top FIFA ranked team.

Serbia clings on
Although Serbia (ranked 25th in the FIFA rankings) may not be as good as Brazil, they are nonetheless a difficult opponent. Their strength is their strong team, their tenacity, but also the brilliant front-line striker Aleksandar Mitrovic (76 caps, 50 goals). He is the one who gave his side the chance to qualify for the World Cup against Portugal (2-2 in the first leg, 1-2 in the second leg), requiring Cristiano Ronaldo’s team to go to the play-offs.

The Eagles will kick off their third World Cup in Qatar, five less than Cameroon. Having stated that, the Serbs will be Cameroon’s toughest rivals. According to 2007 Ballon d’Or winner Kaka, they are even considered favorites ahead of several other teams and the 2017 African champions. On RMC, he claimed, “I put France, Argentina, and surprise Serbia behind Brazil.”

The Swiss knife Granit Xhaka and Switzerland defeated France in the final eight in the 2021 European Championship.

At Euro 2021, Granit Xhaka and Switzerland humiliate France in the round of 16.
In the round of 16 of Euro 2021, his dominant performance against France and all of its stars (Mbappé, Benzema, Pogba, Kanté) is still vivid in people’s memories.

With a few minutes left in regulation, the Nati trailed 3-1 but found a way to tie it up before losing on penalties (4-5) to the defending world champions. Switzerland (ranked 14th in the FIFA rankings) will have a voice in Qatar if they are simply taken into account as outsiders. especially considering that in their previous five big events, they had always advanced past the group round.

During the World Cup qualifiers, Granit Xhaka’s (Arsenal) colleagues had not suffered a loss while placed in the same group as Italy. They even won their group before the Euro 2021 champion Squadra Azzura.
