I was a 9 year old kid in Sarajevo in 1990. Besides cheering for our Yugoslavia, everyone I knew in my neighborhood cheered for Cameroon. We just loved that lion on their kits.

That was an golden era for Cameroon

I remember those matches. Cameron players were physically the strongest among all teams. It was sad they did not make to semifinal.

That dance by roger milla after scoring goals in that world cup in 1990❤️❤️ still love it

I still can’t get over this lost after all this years!
It was the most painful pain I’ve ever felt in my heart.

I was a 7 year old Dutch kid watching my first World Cup, and although my country wat touted as one of the favorites to lift the trophy, with players such as Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, and Koeman, we were really disappointing. This Cameroon team however, stole my heart from the first game, they are still my favourite World Cup team of all time, and I doubt that will ever change at this point. I still remember doing the Roger Milla dance when I scored a goal playing with my friends, great times.

In 1982 World cup, Cameroon failed to advance to the second round despite finishing unbeaten in the group stage with a 0-0 tie against Poland and Peru, respectively. In their last game against Italy which ended in a 1-1 tie, Italy went on all the way to win the World Cup tournament that year.

However, in their game against Italy Roger Milla scored a beautiful one-two winning goal that was ridiculously disallowed! Cameroon were unfairly robbed on that goal. The history of the 1982 world cup would have completely changed forever had Roger Milla's goal been allowed for Cameroon would have advanced to the second round in place of Italy!

I lived in Cameroon back in 1990.  I was a 12 years old frenck kid and It was the first time I saw a football world cup. The Indomitable lions were the greatest team in this world cup. We watched them play during school, and until now, they are still my favourite team. the defeat against England was unfair^^

what a team! as a 10 year old from Peru I was rooting for Cameroon since the first match vs Argentina and wasnt dissapointed, match after match cameroonians gave everything, they played rough but without harming others (Caniggia faked badly as soon as the red card was showed he stand up inmediately like nothing happened) the fast offensive football, the celebrations, they had everything, too bad the coach its not mention here as they found his training method unique, the final match vs England was a war, Cameroon showed to the world the potencial of the african players

Why isn’t this fella on FIFA 21 as an Icon?

Not a single word about their coach Nepo who created this miracle? Really? Ok.

Love and respect to Cameroon, from India...

Vive Cameroun ,Im from Algérien Arabe 🇩🇿

Enjoyed in story about magical Cameroon, my first WC ever was Italy 1990. and Roger Milla was my hero!

It's sad that Cameroon hasn't been able to perform very well at the World Cup since Italy 1990.

Not a word about their Russian coach who made this possible - Valeriy Nepomniaschiy ((

Cameroon vs England was the best game of the 1990 World Cup. By far.

Hard not to shed a tear. Great moments.

The Cameroonian team showed cheerful and offensive football,but England had more experience in international tournaments.

My dad from Ghana, Mom from Jamaica.  I remember  at the age of 7 year old my dad took me to the  stadium to support Cameroon against Argentina,  and England. But the bad referee rubbed Cameron... ENEMIES OF PROGRESS, THEY DON'T WANT AFRICANS TO PROGRESS IN EVERYTHING, BUT JAH IS IN CONTROL MAMA AFRICA STILL IS RISING 🇲🇼🤜🏿🤛🏿👊🏿✊🏿
