Following is a statbox on Cameroon at the World Cup:FIFA Ranking: 43Odds: 250-1Previous tournaments:Cameroon have competed at more World Cups than any African country, starting in Spain in 1982 when they achieved the rare feat of being unbeaten in their three group games but failed to reach the next stage.

On their second appearance in 1990, they became the first African country to make the quarter-finals on a heady run led by 38-year-old striker Roger Milla.

They beat holders Argentina in the opening game of the tournament in Milan and then Romania before ousting Colombia in the last 16 but were eliminated by England after extra time.

However, in five subsequent World Cup appearances they have won only once – against Saudi Arabia in Japan 20 years ago.How they qualified:The Indomitable Lions had among the toughest qualifying paths and, although they stumbled and stuttered, grabbed a dramatic winner minutes from the end of the campaign to book a place in Qatar.
