Football action kicks-off in Equatorial Guinea

Africa and the world will in the next three weeks turn their mind and focus to Equatorial Guinea when the central African country host the biggest football jamboree in the 2nd largest continent in the world.
    Amongst the 16 team to participate in the show in Equatorial Guinea will be the Lions of Cameroon that have been absent from the last two editions of the biannual football competition.
    The Indomitable Lions who had a deserved qualification campaigned will have to tasseled with big guns of the continent like Ivory Coast, Mali and Guinea in group D.

    Considered one of the group of death in the competition, the lions of Cameroon will have to proof their worth when they try to write their name in the football history of the continent.
    Going by their preparations, a lot of debates in offices, beer parlors and media houses have put the fate of the lions in question.
    Three draws in three preparatory matches have raised a lot of dust and their style of play has failed to keep the winning spirit the lions bestowed in their fans some months back in the campaigns. This has caused many to say that Samuel Eto,o and Alex Song still have a place in the national team.
    Even though supporters of the Lions remain in doubt about their performance in the upcoming competition, some fans say the German Technician Volke Finke knows exactly what he is doing and how the road will be narrow when the competitions begins in a few days.
    While many expect the continent to produce beautiful football made in Africa, supporters, fans and well-wishers of the Indomitable Lions will stop at nothing in clapping and staying glued to their TV and radio sets when the lions make them proud. Good Luck to the King of the Forest.
