Lions star Boukar praised
Cameroon keeper Alioum Boukar was praised by president Paul Biya as The Indomitable Lions were honoured for their African Nations Cup triumph.
Boukar, who failed a try-out with Manchester City a few weeks ago, conceded no goals in regular time throughout the championship and was warmly praised by the president who said: "The Lions are worthy African champions, but the goalkeeper deserves special mention for his heroic performance. He was a true Lion between the sticks."
The players were flown in from Paris yesterday morning for the award ceremony and back to Geneva immediately for tomorrow`s friendly game against Argentina.
The Lions won the African Nations Cup earlier in the year but could not meet with the president who was away on official duties. They were told that they have brought joy to millions of Cameroonians and were urged to keep the flag flying by bringing the World Cup trophy to Africa.
President Biya added: "You were fantastic. We nearly had a heart attack during the penalty shoot-out in the final but in the end you lived up to your reputation and the nation is very proud of you. Now we want you to go to Korea and Japan and bring the big one to the continent."
The Indomitable Lions face Argentina in one of their warm-up matches lined up by coach Winfried Schaefer. Twelve years ago, and playing with nine men, they dented Argentina`s pride with a 1-0 win in the opening match of Italia `90 World Cup in one of the most historic results of all time.
