| In the second game of Group A Cameroon are clearly favored by the bookies again. The opponent is number 137 in the FIFA world ranking table. The euphoria in Cameroon was already great a year ago when the Africa Cup was originally supposed to take place. Now, 365 days late, all football fans in the country want to see their own team at the top. Cameroon is as almost always one of the favorites for the title. They last won the title with a 2-1 win over Egypt. Cameroon definitely do not have the most expensive squad, but the home advantage is on their side. With Burkina Faso, Ethiopia and Cape Verde you got a pretty easy group. However, the start did not go as planned. They won against Burkina Faso, but the victory was far from convincing. As for the underdogs Ethiopia played with ten man against Cape Verde for 80 minutes, and end losing only 0-1. |
