Cameroon Soccer Match Sunday

Sports Illustrated considers Cameroon's match on Sunday against Cape Verde her most important one this year.  The loser is eliminated from qualifying for the 2013 African Cup of Nations.

The Embassy advises this to citizens:

In the past, there have been incidents of Cameroonian football hooligans committing acts of violence during or following matches, especially when Cameroon loses a key match. While we have no indication that such violence is imminent on Sunday, there is the possibility of mob violence or a situation where street criminals can take advantage of innocent bystanders. The U.S. Embassy does not recommend that U.S. citizens attend Sunday’s match.
We pray for a peaceful outcome to the competitive match this weekend.
