Match #48 - Cameroon v. Brasil

In.

 

Nailed Brasil apart from Fred:
23 Ederson
13 Dani Alves
16 Alex Telles
14 Éder Militão
24 Bremer
8 Fred
15 Fabinho
18 Gabriel Jesus
21 Rodrygo
26 Gabriel Martinelli
19 Antony

 

Interesting changes for Cameroon:
Andre Onana is out for criticising the selection of Nkoulou. Now Nkoulou is out. Epassy remains in goal of course as Onana stormed out.

Rigobert Song changes the central defender pairing!

Christopher Wooh (4 caps) and Enzo Ebosse (3 caps) replace Nkoulou and Casteletto. Wooh is superb young defender (really like him, surprised he didn't what for France call up), Ebosse I don't know.

Hongla gets replaced by the experienced Ngamaleu and the dissapointing Toko Ekambi gets replaced by Serbia hero Aboubakar.

Looks like a 4-4-2 or even 4-2-4 set up, as Ngalameu is an very attacking player.

 

That risk is minimal. Switzerland would need to win by 3 goals (assuming Brasil lose by one).

 

Wow, none of Nkoulou, Casteletto or Hongla are even on the bench. Neither is Onana of course (flew out before the Serbia game).

Injured or fighting with coach?

EDIT: Camfoot says all three are injured. But are they really? Castelletto is the biggest miss. He has been great for Cameroon.

 

Brazil wearing blue.

Rarely see that in the Group stage.

 

Finally a ref giving yellows for reckless fouls. The refs this tournament have been too lenient.

 

Nice save

 

Brazil dont look like they're trying very hard.

Cameroon's kits are nice

 

Anguissa only player that looks good enough to play for Brazil though (and start!).

Also liking Wooh so far.

EDIT: And the moment I wrote that Wooh goes dribbling a Brasilian in the area.

 

Why are Brasil trying to beat Cameroon in the air? That is the one place Cameroon is visibly better than Brasil.

 

Cameroon will need to make some changes in the break to get rid of some yellows! LOL

 

Cant believe Alves is still playing internationally

 

Roberto Carlos and Fat Ronaldo look bored.

 

Serbia 2-1

 

Aboubakar not having a good game.

 

Ooh, Cameroon need to take Fai off, a red card risk at this point.

 

For 2nd half I'm switching to Swiss game because this one is a yawner

 

I think Brasil isn't pushing, while Cameroon wants to get to the break at worst with a draw.

 

Even with substitutes playing, the Brazilian defense is impenetrable.

 

2:2 there! Looks like that game is a cracker.
