Group E: Cameroon, Denmark, Japan, Netherlands



CAMEROON: FIFA RANKING 19, ODDS TO WIN 100-1

Was it really 20 years ago that Roger Milla was doing his jig around the corner flag and Gary Lineker was pulling England back from the brink of their most ignominious exit? Was it really 20 years ago when everyone left Italy breathlessly declaring that it wouldn't be long before Cameroon and the rest of Africa were ruling Planet Football?

It certainly was, but here we are two decades later and the Indomitable Lions look all too easy to dominate. For many reasons those brave new world predictions haven't come to pass. Cameroon have failed to advance from the group stages since Italia '90 and here they are going into one of the easiest groups in South Africa fancied by few to make it to the second round. They struggled to qualify for the finals and are without a win in the last six games. Paul Le Guen plainly has it all to do.
