Cameroon vs Denmark Match Preview
In Saturday’s late kick-off, Cameroon and Denmark will meet at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.
Cameroon and Denmark were both losers on Match-day One of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The Indomitable Lions were tamed by an aggressive and desirous Japanese side whereas the Danes had the Netherlands blasting their dynamite through a 2-0 score line.
All is not lost though for Cameroon and Denmark, but their remaining matches have transformed into must-win battles. Their destiny isn’t in their hands either way, as a draw between the Netherlands and Japan will mean the end of the road for the team that loses on Saturday.
The Cameroonians have actually not won a single game in the year 2010 and they are yet to break their awful run of three defeats on the trot which commenced on June 1. The Indomitable Lions have failed to produce the kind of football that Cameroonians want to witness, and Coach Paul Le Guen is aware of that. Expressing his concern after his side’s defeat to Japan, the manager explained:
“The players weren’t able to play at the level they could and I regret that.
“We lost many, many easy balls. That’s why I am disappointed. It happens like this when you feel that your team is not at its best level.”
If the Indomitable Lions blame their loss on their disconnected performance on Match-Day One, so do they Danes. Goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen, who nearly had a perfect game against the Netherlands, called upon his team mates to avoid mistakes during games. Denmark conceded an own goal and another scrappy one to fall 2-0 after 90 minutes of play.
According to the shot stopper, who confessed his belief in making your own luck, Denmark first have to correct the patchy signs in their performances.
“I really believe that you make your own luck. We had a couple of unlucky bounces for the Netherlands’ goals. But, instead of complaining about that, we should look at what we did wrong.
“It is more important for us to fix such mistakes than to ask for better luck against Cameroon.”
Will the fans see a flawless entertaining game from both teams?
