The World Cup is football's grandest stage, and over the years, several teams and names have used the platform to make memories that have lived long in football folklore.
This month, 2026 will no doubt add yet more narratives to the competition's legacy, but can any of the tournament's newest names make the same splash that Cameroon did at Italia '90?
The Africans, who would be one of the surprise packages of the finals, kicked off their campaign by causing one of the biggest upsets of all time.
François Omam-Biyik, who was playing for Laval in France's second division at the time, became an instant hero for Cameroon when his famous header helped inflict a shock defeat on World Cup holders Argentina. Diego Maradona and all.
The win set Cameroon up for an iconic run, inspired by veteran Roger Milla, that saw them go all the way to the quarter-finals, before they were knocked out by England in a dramatic extra-time defeat.
