How Cameroon could’ve overachieved at the 2022 FIFA World Cup
3What if Andre Onana didn’t leave the Cameroon 2022 FIFA World Cup squad? #Cameroon #Onana
It never really got as good for Cameroon than it did in 1990 when they became the first representative from Africa to reach the last eight of the FIFA World Cup. What if I said, it almost did in 2022?
Between 1990 and 2022, Cameroon won one game at a FIFA World Cup and never really came close to returning to the knockout phase.
In Qatar they could have done, but they shot themselves in the foot by sending goalkeeper Andre Onana home.
Onana watched from the sidelines as the Indomitable Lions shipped 3 to Serbia and only won against Brazil when it was too late. Today we ask: what if Onana remained #1?
