Cameroon coach Paul Le Guen confirmed yesterday that he will be changing the team around for the match against Denmark later today after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Japan in their first World Cup match.

"We weren't good enough," Le Guen told a pre-match press conference on Friday. "We need to take stock of that. There will be three new players in the starting line up.

"I do my job as a coach and as a selector and I'm fully aware of the responsibilities. I obviously have some guidelines but I'm not going to be pig-headed about it. It didn't work and ... I have to be absolutely frank with myself about that."

The Frenchman also admitted that it was time his players took responsibility for the poor performance because they were now in a state of emergency.

"I think they need to face up to their responsibilities as I assume my own responsibilities 100 percent," he said, after snapping at one journalist who asked about the mood amongst the players.

"They have to find a spirit, they often talk about them as lions, having a lion spirit and I very much hope they find this spirit in their match tomorrow."

Cameroon and Denmark kick off at 8.30pm in Pretoria while while Netherlands and Japan kick off at 1.30pm in Durban.
