Their dominant display in the playoffs – a 4-1 aggregate win – would suggest Volke Finke’s team are one of the strongest teams coming from the continent.
They are a physically imposing team blessed with a strong spine, excellent fitness and pace in abundance. They too will tough opposition when playing in strong heat and humidity in Brazil. Sadly for the Cameroonians, their attack has been unable to replicate the potent goal scoring prowess of yesteryear. The defence too, despite boasting some pretty big names, can be very hit and miss.
