I’ll admit it: I underestimated the Indomitable Lionesses.

I didn’t pay much attention to Cameroon’s games at the ongoing WAFCON. After all, they did not originally qualify for the tournament but were drafted into the competition after CAF increased the number of participating teams.

Then Cameroon topped their group.

Still, I waved it off. I thought they had simply benefited from a relatively weak group, especially when compared to Nigeria’s group.

Then came the quarterfinal against Nigeria.

The Super Falcons were not at their best, but I still didn’t believe Cameroon could stop them.
