A Selecao secured the qualification to the knockout stage, but they have not secured the first place in the group. Thus, Brazil has a lot to play for in the last round of Group G of the World Cup in Qatar. They have already justified the role of favorite, reached the Top 16, however, they don’t really care who they will run into in the first elimination stage of the tournament. That is why it is important for them to save first place and wait for Uruguay, South Korea or Ghana from the leadership position, since Portugal will probably finish first in Group H and it would not be good for Selecao to immediately run into a potential ‘mine’.Brazil 🇧🇷 Vs Cameroon 🇨🇲: World Cup meetings•1994: Brazil 3-0 Cameroon – Romario, Bebeto, Marcio Santos•2014: Brazil 4-1 Cameroon- Neymar (2), Fred, Fernandinho.

And so far, in the first 180 minutes, he distributed the minutes well and used as many as 19 footballers in the first two rounds, which means that only seven did not feel the charm of this World Cup. These are the goalkeepers Ederson and Veverton, and the players in the field, Dani Alves, Bremer, Fabinho, Everton Ribeiro and Pedro. Probably some of them will get a chance in the clash with the Africans, although it is more logical to expect that from the first minute on the field there will be guys who came off the bench against Serbia and Switzerland.Cameroon Coach, Rigobert Song is aiming for a win over Brazil in a scorching match.Vincent Aboubakar says they aren’t afraid of them.Cameroon became the first African team to reach the World Cup Quarter Finals in 1990.

Still a strong team, even without Vinicius Junior, Richarlison, Casemiro, Lucas Paquette, injured Neymar…Brazil’s Antony complains that air conditioning system at stadiums causes illnessCameroon defeated Brazil for the only time in history at the Confederations Cup in 2003. The match was played at the Saint-Denis stadium and it was 1:0 for the Africans, and that is the match to which Cameroon coach Rigobert Song is referring to in his pre-match press conference.“Cameroon have beaten Brazil before, yes. So it’s not completely out there. Obviously, this Brazilian team will be beautiful to me. I have so much respect for Brazil, but in football, there are realities that are slightly different. Sometimes there is an upset, anything is possible. And that is why I am firmly convinced that we are capable. We need a result to stay in the tournament and we will do everything to get three points. We have nothing to lose” said Song.Reasons for suspending Onana finally revealedCameroon coach also has (not so fond) memories of his first encounter with Brazil. He was a 17 year old boy and faced A Selecao at the 1994 World Cup in the United States. Cameroon lost the game 3-0 and Song was sent off.”You are taking me back. These are memories, and it was every kid’s dream to play against Brazil. I was 17, it was in the United States and I found myself starting in that game against one of the best teams in the world when I had come straight out of the Cameroonian league. I did what I could do and maybe I didn’t know there were rules to be respected. The red card helped me mature as a player” remembers Song. Cameroon will be a participant in the elimination phase if they defeat Brazil and Switzerland and Serbia draw, or the Eagles win and the Africans achieve a better goal difference.Friday, Dec 2nd18:00: (8.00) S.Korea (4.50) Portugal (1.42) H18:00: (4.80) Ghana (3.45) Uruguay (1.80) H22:00: (11.0) Cameroon (5.20) Brazil (1.30) G22:00: (2.60) Serbia (3.40) Switzerland (2.70) G
