As a Scotsman, it broke my heart when England beat Cameroon in 1990, ever since I have been a fan of and loved the Indomitable Lions, I love their attacking style, Roger Milla epitomised that footballing philosophy, legend, respect!
I remember watching this amazing team and players, especially in Italy 90. Roger Milla is a legend! I didn't eat the day they lost against the English. Sad day. All of Central America was waving the Cameroonian flag, they shocked the world! I was just about 14 years old, 1990 was a WC I remember very well. Great times.
Higuita was not "embarrassed" I do believe he receive payment instead. If you pay attention a golie used both hands in this case higuita takes down his hand so the ball can pass. But none the less Roger Milla is an awsome player. Am colombian by the way
edy paquiao Higuita was embarrassed by Milla, exploiting hard shots, great attacks and to know that Milla was an average old age aswell for a “footballer. Non the less Milla scored the goal and embarrassed him. But he is indeed a class striker from Africa.
This video gives me shivers... how can a guy be so good and the world can't even give him half the credit he deaerves!!!! Despite that England robbery, Cameroon was set to win that WC 90'... all experts will confirms this!!!
Arcin Penka African teams lack experience and once they reach quarter finals they stop ambition , but Cameroon at 1982 and Algeria were the best in history and they could reach final easily if they were serious and concentrate
none True! That was and still is because of the ceiling put by their European coaches who set their limits. The European coaches sabotaged their psychological preparedness when they reached the latter stages of the game. Had they been employing their own home grown coaches they would have probably won several world cups by now. No team in world cup history has ever won the world cup using a foreign coach! That is why in Russia 2018 I am going with Tunisia and Senegal for they have local home grown coaches this time.
Africans played the ball with passion in those days. Nowadays it's all about not getting hurt so that they don't lose their number in Europe. It's disgusting. I wish we'd leave Africans playing in Europe outside our national squads.
I remember in those days, Nigerians really loved Roger Milla that the foermost Fuji musician created a song and dance in his name after his goal celebrations. Roger Milla is a true legend.
Africa was one back then. Cameroonians great people all studied in Nigeria universities. Now our politicians teach us to hate one another. Cameroon nd Nigeria not just neighbors but brothers. Hope one day it will all go back to the old days..
I grew up in Italy with my Cameroonian Parents singing the song, "Roger, Mille fois merci" (Roger millions times thank you). The impact he had on the pride an African child should have in their country (irrespective where they are in the world) will never be quantified. True Legend.
Greeting from Indonesia.... These the Cameroon' world cup players had played in Indonesia in 90s : - Roger Milla - Emmanuel Maboang Kessack - Pierre Njanka Miss them all 🤗🤗🤗
Regardless of how it ended He's a true Afrikan Hero his name lives on forever my dad told me about him and one day I will tell my children about him too
My school nickname for many years was Milla after doing a wiggle by the corner flag copying his celebration during that iconic world cup. An iconic player who was part of a very special team that took African football a new level in world football.
Respected Roger Milla, you made a name in the hearts 💕 of the people in 1990 FIFA. We remember you: at that time my family and my neighbour uncles saw your beautiful play. At that time I was about 15 year old. Now I am middle aged. A cool memory. Respected Roger Milla. after so many years, . . . You will remain in our heart as one of the football legends whose play make millions of onlookers 'live' in their hearts.
90 to 2021, that's whole lot of time 3+ decades! I've a clue as to you'a age cos to watch football as a kid and remember it after 30 years you must have been at least 10 years old. So you're about 40, very ripe age for my liking!
Cameroon performance was so impressive it's prompted FIFA to accept a 3rd African team!! Wow!! Amazing history!! Belize central america I'm from & we love Roger milla here!!
3:14 at the end of the Colombia game, Higueita applauds the winners, despite the fact that he gifted a goal to the African team. What a sense of fair play!!!
The Indomitable Lions of Italia 90. What a great football squad. They were supremely gifted and then Roger Milla... his goals, his smiles, his Makosa dance corner flag celebrations.... What a wonderful player.
90's Cameroon-England, The worst referee in football the history! These video will shame him beyond his grave! I can't believe he was rewarded with the finals for his cheating!

Roger Milla est un incroyable joueur de foot, très adroit, il nous a bien fait vibrer en coupe du monde en marquant souvent, chapeau bas pour ce grand joueur.
I was a kid watching the quarterfinal and thought Cameroon were going to win, they were ace. Loved his Samba at the corner flag goal celebration… Legend
I remember watching this world cup I was 11years old and Cameroon I wanted to win it what a great team,after Argentina obviously cause everyone was Maradona crazy still after 86 world cup
I met a guy in Washington DC who told me that he was part of the Tanzanian team in the 1980s. He exchanged his Jersey with Milla and and he still has that milla's Jersey to this day. I was surprised.
I remember the first match of 1990 World Cup. I was just 13 and didn't like football. My friend asked me if I come back to my house after the school to watch the match, but I was no interested because I know Argentina was a strong team and win the match easily, that was boring to me. My friend said: Football is a surprise, watch the match, incredible tihings could happen. Well, I am fan of World Cup until today, thanks to Cameroon team.
The officiating in that match against England was a lot to be desired. Watching that game I could see that the referee literally handed the game to the losing England team.
Roger, Makanaki, kunde, lo mejor de lo mejor de Camerún de los 90!!!! Sí estuvieran hoy estarían jugando para Francia... Pero lo dieron todo por su camiseta.

It was a great time. I can never forget the nights of Italia 90 and how it changed the way I saw the world cultures. Roger Milla was an icon of it.
