Cameroon disgraced themselves in this world cup
Cameroon did not deserve to be playing in the biggest sporting event, on and off the field their attitude has been absolute rubbing. Cameroon players were fighting for match bonus and fees with their federations which lead cameroon fa to promise $104,500 for each player in the squad regardless of the results. So what do they do ? they played rubbish football, should have lost 4-0 against mexico but got away with just 1-0 defeat and lost 4-0 against Croatia. Watch the match highlights.

Cameroon vs Croatia Predictions:
Croatia played reasonably well against 5 time champions Brazil but they got unlucky on couple of occassion with referee awarding a soft penalty against Croatia and a few other decisions. Cameroon on the other hand were outplayed by Mexico and although the scoreline does not suggest but Mexico created too many clear cut chances in the game. Cameroon will have get their defence tighter if they want to get somthing out of this match.
If Croatia performed at a level where they played against Brazil and Cameroon dont bring their A game, there is only result I can see in this match. I am going with a Croatia win with the scoreline of 2-1.
