Profile
The surprise package at the 1990 World Cup, the Indomitable Lions' tournament record has actually been pretty poor since then, failing to reach the knockout stages ever since.
The team has also missed the last two African Cup of Nations as the balance of power shifts away from the traditional giants on the continent.
But led by Samuel Eto'o and including players like Alex Song, Cameroon will aim to sneak out of the group, although in-fighting could be an issue that could rear its head again.
