Many thanks to @patsuffo for this evening’s chat on Weekend Sports @crtv_web National Station:
Here’s a (long) summary:
On #Cameroon’s 1st round exit from the 2002 World Cup:
“Until today I am still asking myself what could have been in that WC. We had a very, very good squad
...but arguments over bonuses cost them more than a week in transit. Suffo says "the time that we spent in Paris jeopardized our tournament altogether...we were confident in reaching at least the 2nd round in the world cup & not being able to make it was very disappointing for us
Of Marc V. Foe - "Losing not only a teammate, but a leader, a friend, it was very difficult. He was very friendly with everybody in the team, everybody will be okay with whatever he says, it was very very sad.”

On the hard-to-repeat success of the #IndomitableLions in the 2000s:
“We were blessed as a squad to have so many leaders. You had Rigobert (Song) who was a great leader on the pitch, you had Marc Vivien, Patrick Mboma, it does make a difference. I believe in the last few years we had people that were proud to come & play but we didn’t have leaders
On the decline of #Cameroon championships: "Players leave too early... they don’t play anymore for their teams, they play to leave the country and that’s a big problem."

Mr. Suffo says he has plans to help develop young talent in the country in the near future.

We can't wait.
