\"Goodone\"<\/a>\u00a0 A big shout out to the Cameroonian fans who came out to M\u00f6nchengladbach to give their national team all the full support. I could see the goose bumps all over my body while they gloriously sang their national anthem again and again.<\/p>\n

Germany controlled the first half and missed a number of clear chances to open the scoring, with Mesut \u00d6zil putting the ball wide with only the goalkeeper to beat from 12 yards inside a minute. Mario G\u00f6tze struck the post after being sent clean through and Sami Khedira headed wide as Germany looked to clinch the goal their dominance deserved. Cameroon grew in confidence as the game went on and shocked Germany with the opener, with Samuel Eto’o scoring from 12 yards before demonstrating his now trademark ‘old man’ celebration. Germany levelled quickly through Thomas Mueller’s excellent header before Andre Schuerrle made it 2-1 with a tap-in after Lukas Podolksi’s powerful run and cross – despite the Arsenal forward being clearly offside when he received the ball. Football is a team sport but you can\u00a0 identify excellent performances by great players when you see them. Mainz’s Maxim Choupo-Moting scored a fine equaliser for Cameroon as the African side held Germany 2-2 in their final World Cup warm-up match on home soil. He is clearly one of the most gifted Cameroonian players. He has got a good first touch, dribbles with elegance, has an eye for a defence splitting pass and\u2026he can score.\u00a0 The game ended with a moment of great quality by Choupo-Moting, who capped a fine individual display with an impressive run and finish into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In an interview with Rigobert Song (Manager of the indomitable lions) he expressed his enthusiasm about Cameroon’s participation at the world cup..\u00a0 After talkig to most players of the Camerooonian national team, I was full\u00a0 hope and enthusiasm as well.\u00a0 The indomitable lions are full of positive energy and are mentally ready for the challenge. I got infected and affected by this positive energy which I want to pass on.\u00a0 All the best to our\u00a0 5 African teams at this world cup. Allez les lions!!
