Cameroon should be thinking about how they want to crack us. I’m not afraid of Cameroon; you saw how the boys played against Ivory Coast, Russia, and Qatar. If we have the boys together, they are very united and believe in each other. The boys are unbeaten this year and won a trophy abroad for the first time.”REVEALED: Millions owed to Harambee Stars coach in salary arrears
