I watched this game in Jamaica as a 12 year old kid. Obviously my football knowledge was limited but I just remember that for long periods Cameroon played England off the field and in hindsight should have won. What is disappointing for me is that African football has not progressed since the Indomitable Lions and the Super Eagles burst onto the scene in the 90s it appears to have gone backwards with some African players even choosing to play for second rate European football nations that won't win a major tournament.
A thriller. One of the best WC matches ever, up in the pantheon alongside Argentina v France final 2022, Brazil 2- Italy 3 and France 3 - West Germany 3, both in 1982 and Brazil 4 - Italy 1 in 1970. I reckon Brazil 1 - Germany 7 was too weird and strange to be considered a thrilling match !
I'll put Uruguay vs Germany in 1970 n2010, Uruguay vs Netherlands 2010, n so much more. Germany vs Sweden 1974 ,Germany vs France 1982, Germany vs South Korea 1994. The list cld b a little bit longer. Cheers
@@joseluistabarez4340 Regarding Uruguay 2 Holland 3, I respectfully and completely disagree: A good match and entertaining but never a "great" match. Holland controlled the match, Uruguay never looked like winning and only scored their second goal to make the 3-2 score seem respectable in the 90th minute. That Holland would win was never really in doubt. The matches I mentioned, apart from Brazil - Italy 1970, were "humdingers" in which spectators never knew which way the result would go until the referee blew the final whistle. Therefore these games were unpredictable, entertaining , full of goals with each team looking like they could win - hence we can call them "special and great matches."
@@mediastarguest Honestly that 1970 final match was pretty even for the most part and dare I say Italia looked more dangerous in the beginning than Brazil did. It wasn't until the middle of the 2nd half that Brazil just exploded!
Nobody could tame them, they played with a lot of rebellion and earned the respect and applause of the world, greetings from Argentina , untamable lions
At the start you can hear the England fans borrowing part of the Irish song for Italia 90, which went something like "We're all following Jackie's army, we're all off to Italy, and we'll really shake'em up when we win the world cup, 'cos Ireland are the greatest football team!" (I have to assume that our fans changed the words a bit to fit for England, but with football fan 'singing' it's hard to tell!). I vaguely remember kids at our Infants and Junior school in England singing it too :)
Cameroon was badly robbed. I guess Thats why England cant win no more major competitions. Justice for cameroon. Cameroon was supposed to be the first African team to win the world cup..

Cameroon leading by a goal so Lineker dived twice to steal the win. And these are the same jokers still complaining about Maradonas handball, yet they are thrilled to cheat themselves
The first penalty is a penalty The ball was on the ground and cameroon play kicked at leg surprised he didn't get a card for thar however the second one is just bad timing bt the goalkeeper and england just before had thrown the ball away it should have been a goal kick

''Camerun merecia una semifinal que equipaso, Inglaterra tubo la suerte de contar con Lineker, pero de no haber estado alli, Milla y su combo habrian pasado sin duda''.🙂
Lol. Lineker, Miller, Valderamma, James, Raul, modric, Robben, Sneidjer, Suker, nedved, etc never won a wc yet still managed to left thier mark in atleast one wc. Something the GOAT Cr7 still haven't after 5 tries. It's really ridiculous. How can he not dazzle in atleast one. That's atleast 3 sets of Portuguese players - starting from the Figo, carvahlo, tiago, pauletta, Deco, costing a, Ferrerha, Valente, etc era🤯🤯. I didn't meant to offend anyone, I just find it strange that lesser known and hyped players managed to pull it off with lesser hyped teams while a GOAT who played alongside many top players can't 🤷🏽♂️

Soy Argentino, y en mi 11 ideal de todos los tiempos PAUL GAISCONE, es inamovible el 8, ( junto a Fernando Redondo o Steven Gerard como 5) la 10 para Reinaldo Martino( hacía jugar a todo el equipo- el futbol total nació de su estilo- Joan Cruyff e Andés INIesta tambien) , la 9 para la maxima potencia y garra Gabriel Omar Batistuta, un 11 sin duda Angel DiMARIA, la 7 para Garrincha
Камерунцам в этой игре не хватило прагматизма. При счете 2:1 в их пользу, стань они "сушить игру" (или "поставили бы автобус") в полуфинале немцам противостояли бы они, а не команда Англии...

@@peterforster7901 England robbed. That's what they did. And that's what they have done for their entire country generations. Robbed other countries and invade countries in Africa.
After the first two games Cameroon played in 1990,the illusion of being naive that they projected wore thin.......They came with as much ambition,capability and guile to win the WC as any other team......after They lost to USSR( which was a game they had the luxury of being able to lose),their determination to win is seen in this game,and it could have gone either way......in fact,England should have had a third penalty......
