They will look to replicate their incredible run to the quarterfinals in 1990 after not managing to advance past the group stage in three finals appearances since then.

The Cameroonians are hoping that the right mix of youth and experienced players, along with new coaching will forge a strong side when they hit the world stage in South Africa this June.

New boss Paul Le Guen of Lyon fame, took over for the fired German veteran Otto Pfister after a poor start early in qualifying, immediately began making radical changes that paid dividends–like stripping long-time captain Rigobert Song of the armband and giving it to three-time African player of the year Samuel Eto’o. The 45-year-old coach is best known for leading French club Olympique Lion to the Ligue I title three times in succession.

He has served stints with Lyon, Rangers and Paris St. Germain, all of which have become formidable sides under the Frenchman’s watchful eye.

The Lions Indomptables are led by Inter Milan world-class striker Samuel Eto’o. The dynamic forward scored a total of nine goals in 11 qualifiers alone, and was ably accompanied by world stars such as Pierre Webó, veteran Geremi Njitap, Jean Makoun, Stephane Mbia, Arsenal’s Alexandre Song, and goalkeeper Idriss Carlos Kameni, who surrendered just two goals in six final round contests.

With an impressive amount of firepower, they will certainly never get a better opportunity to go one step further than its amazing run 20 years ago.

Cameroon looked like they were about to miss their second straight World Cup after beginning their qualifying campaign with just a draw from their first two matches, but then completed an impressive turnaround recording four straight victories to ensure safe passage to South Africa.

It all started with two victories in four days over contenders Gabon, followed by a win over Togo, and a 2-0 victory in Morocco.

Cameroon has played in 17 FIFA World Cup matches, the most of any national team from Africa. They are not a side to underestimate and will go as far as striker Samuel Eto’o can take them.

But in a group that includes veterans Netherlands, defensive minded Denmark and Asian powerhouse Japan, it will take more than talent and experience to emerge into the second round.
