All of Cameroon’s three goals came from headers off crosses into the box. Mallorca’s Pierre Webo scored a brace and Eric Choupo Moting rounded of Cameroon’s tally. Which does not say good things about Serbia’s defense. Quite shambolic really.
Look at the first goal where they do not even get up to challenge Webo.
However, they met their match in Cameroon’s defense which was even worse.
The Serbian midfield showed its strength with Dejan Stankovic controlling the show ably supported by Nenad Milijas and Milos Krasic. Goals came from Krasic, Stankovic, Milijas (penalty), and Pantelic. Check out the first goal set up by Aleksandar Kolarov whose speed down the left makes it all happen. Kolarov has been linked to a move to Real Madrid.
Serbia are considered the ‘dark horses’ of the World Cup with some pegging it to make it to the finals. On the strength of their defensive display, we should make that very, very long odds.
One comment on “Video: Serbia overcome Cameroon, 4-3”
With the World Cup quickly approaching this week, there is a dark side that won’t be shown on television. The workers stitching soccer balls in Pakistan, India, China and Thailand continue to experience alarming labor right violations even 13 years after the soccer ball industry signed the “Atlanta Agreement” committing to clean up the industry. The International Labor Rights Forum released a new report titled “Missed the Goal for Workers: the Reality of Soccer Ball Stitchers in Pakistan, India, China and Thailand” today. The research found that the decade long effort by governments, companies and other stakeholders to eliminate child labor in this industry has seen only limited success. Child labor still exists in soccer ball production in India and Pakistan.
Soccer fans and players are an intricate part of enacting change in the production of soccer balls. We are asking for your assistance in petitioning FIFA and other governing bodies to insist for a change.

Thank you for your help and consideration for these workers!
