before the match:
After the brilliant victory
at the African Nations Cup Cameroon desires to returm to the World Cup
and prove their new strength there. Libya will be the test whether it might
become an easy ride or a close race anyway. The Libyans do not seem strong
enough to compete for a place at Korea/Japan but they can beat anybody
at home.
Against Mali they already
played a style that clearly seemed to have the signature of their Argentinian
World Cup coach Carlos Bilardo, but he does not seem to be the coach anymore.
Cameroon will face very good prepared opponents anyway.

-the match has a good tempo
but has no goalmouth situatiions in the first 15 minutes, Libya begins
with some advantages in ball possession but now Cameroon takes over and
causes a first damngerous situation after a corner
