Sir Bobby Robson (1990) "We didn't underestimate them. They were just a lot better than we thought."

Robson, famous for his confused remarks, was unsure as to whether Cameroon had met or exceeded expectations during their quarter-final clash against England at Italia '90. England had gone from a goal up to two goals behind before a late Gary Lineker penalty took the game into extra time, and a second Lineker spot-kick eventually saw Robson's men emerge as winners.
