This could be quite a difficult result to predict and in all honesty it is probably going to be these two teams who fail to progress from Group A.
It will be interesting to see if Javier Hernandez plays a part for Mexico. He made only six Premier League appearances last season and is no longer assured of a starting place in the national side.
I look forward to reading people's comments before, during and after the kick off to this second game of Brazil 2012 which starts at 5pm.
Enjoy the match!

Apparently Hernandez will be on the bench tonight.

Cameroon will have to keep their players in check, early on in the friendly against Germany, they were a bit to aggressive and prob would have had a player sent off hadn't it been a friendly. Attacking wise Cameroon looked pretty impressive against the Germans, I haven't seen much of Mexico but if Costa Rica and Honduras came ahead of them in central America qualifying, then I haven't got high hopes for them

Well in that case, come on you indomitable lions!

Sadly I don't think either side matches up to the past squads they have had at world cups. Mexico have always proven to be difficult to break down while Cameroon play with a flair in attack but look weak the back.

I fear against the bigger teams both will get steam rolled but it should actually be a good match between the two sides on balance little between them.

Logically Mexico should just edge it but I am going with my heart in wishing to see an African side do well at a world cup 2-1 to Cameroon for me.

Off we go again. ITV's music has grown on me second hearing.

Both ITV and BBC opening titles seem to be endless.

Feel sorry for the guy with clapperboard

Even without Chicharito starting I still think Mexico will be too strong for Cameroon, 2-0 Mexico.

I'm going to go for a score draw. Cameroon's team looks strong.

Mexico: Ochoa; Rodriguez, Marquez, Aguilar, Layun; Herrera, Vázquez, Dos Santos, Moreno, Guardado, Peralta

Cameroon: Itandje, Assou-Ekotto, Nkoulou, Djeugoue, Song, Moukandjo, Eyong, Choupo Moting, Chedjou, Mbia, Eto'o

ITV's studio hasn't fixed the damaged glass and it can be seen behind Fabio's head.
I am not sure why they came on at our as they have nothing really to talk about.

ITV are crap as always. 45 minutes banging on about no hopers England, while finally fitting in 5 minutes to gloss over the two teams actually playing.

They probably recognise about 5 players from the 22 who'll be starting.

Watching the obligatory pretty supporters pre-game is drawing my support towards Mexico. It's like an alternative Miss World.

I think whoever loses this is pretty much out of a tournament so I worry it will be a cagey game with both teams being too scared of losing. Don't think Cameroon have the qaulity they have had in past world cups though so I will predict Mexico to sneak a 1,0 win.

5pm is the perfect time for a football match as it gives me an excuse to finish work early

The plan for tonight is to watch the first match at home, go to the pub for Spain v Holland and then come home with a takeaway for the late kickoff.

I do feel that the two teams playing here are the two that won't progress out of this group.

But, you never know, the world cup has produced surprises before.

A decent 5 minutes to talk about no hopers Mexico and Cameroon then?


There was a disappointing lack of cameraman perving it the first game.

I didn't know Assou-Ekotto was Cameroonian.

Changed from French.

Itv fearing for Mexico I fear for cameroon

Passport of convenience, aka stealing a world cup appearance

Looks like a November aftenoon

still 73 degrees though

Clark Carlisle and Sam Matterface, what terrible deed have we done to deserve this?! Apparently Mexico can't win because they dint have a physical presence despite Spain being the current champs.
