Wednesday, June 11, 2014 by worldcupstream.net

The second match of the 2014 World Cup puts in competition with Mexico and Cameroon at Arena das Dunas, Natal on Friday 13 June (6/13/2014). Both Mexico and Cameroon arein the Group A of the 2014 World Cup. Additionally, Brazil and Croatia are the group mates of these two teams. It is really an archetypal opportunity for the Mexicans national team for starting this tournament in an absolute good way. Mexico experienced a struggle of epic surprising drama to go for Brazil 2014 world cup as they got off to a nightmarish start in CONCACAF’s final round. Despite of all those dramas they got placed fourth in the CONCACAF World Qualification group leaving behind USA, Costa Rica and Honduras. In the 2012 Olympics, Mexico beat Brazil for the gold medal and managed to show committed performance in Under-17 World Cup the previous year. Furthermore, Cameroon boasts enough firepower to spring an upset as they have some best player in their team. We have seen their spark in the CONCACAF World Qualification to go to Brazil.

Players to watch:

For Mexico:

The hero of Mexico’s gold medal run, OribePeralta will play in this world cup along with Giovani dos Santos and Carlos Pena who are some of the best players in this universe. Javier Hernandez will also attract fans via his excellence this time.

For Cameroon: Samuel Eto’o is now on his pick form from his whole football career so that Cameroon’ssupporters have huge expectations on them. He is now playing for Chelsea Football Club, one of the prominent football clubs.

HEAD TO HEAD:

Presently Mexico has an official FIFA ranking of 20, and Cameroon is 51 in world ranking. On Friday 13 June Mexico will play their own good qualified football but Cameroon has to do best to fight with such a huge team like Mexico.

PREVIOUS RESULTS:

Mexico and Cameroon had not appeared in front of one another ever before.

PREDICTION:

Facing arguably the weakest nation from Africa, Cameroon gives Mexico an ideal and clear chance to get three points on the board. Mexico has a high-skilled group of players from the domestic league mixed up with some decent players who plays in Europe in contrast Cameroon has the biggest names but counted in some low ranking teams on 2014 FIFA World Cup, Brazil.
