Yes, and this could have costed them dearly, because I had the feeling that one of these admittedly quite clumsy Cameroon's counter-attack could have led to a goal sometime. But now White's goal stays after VAR check. What's happening now with Cameroon's players in the middle of the pitch?
45+4' (of +4') 1-0 Bronze taps from arc tangent left to White slipping through the high line, to 17m box center -- held on side by Awona(?) at arc right. White settles as Ngo Ndom charges out, turn-and-shoots left instep under Ngo Ndom's right hand, just inside left post low. AR flags offside! 45+5' (of +4') 2-0 VAR check ... goal stands! But R1 didn't go to monitor. 2-0 England after review!

R1 talks to (c) Onguene. 46' INCREDIBLE!Cameroon refuse to play immediately after the goal is given.

Who was the English player in an off-side position at the top of the screen (of course not influencing the action in any way)?

If we had Cameroonian posters like we have Nigerians theyd surely be coming out by now telling us FIFA "applying rules" was racism
That goal was legit. But it was very close. If it happened to a "big" team it would have been checked for sure by the referee herself but if it's just a CAF team they don't care.
Which Nigerian poster accused FIFA of racism? Point to the exact post or apologize and stop making up stuff.
England 3(2)-(0)2 shots(sog), 1-0 corners, 1-1 offside, 2-6 fouls, 5-9 tackles, 11-37 clearances, 66% possession, 81% (284/352) - (77/123) 63% possession. England are controlling midfield, but they have no 1-v-1 speed advantage up top. When they bring Bronze (or Greenwood?) up to support, they leave gaps in the back. Cameroon have the speed to exploit those, but haven't shown the patience or touch, and keep defusing their own counters.
It was inevitable that something like this would happen eventually. Even though the goal was legit IMO, the accumulated injustices against African teams would eventually bring emotions to a boil.
