Soccer: Cameroon skipper looking to avoid red card hat-trick

Tough-tackling Cameroon skipper Rigobert Song will be looking to avoid an unwanted hat-trick of red cards.

A no-nonsense central defender, Song is the only man to have been sent off at two World Cups.

The first red card came on his debut for the "Indomitable Lions" at the 1994 tournament, as a nervy 17-year-old against Brazil. Four years ago he was sent off against Chile. Said Song: "I will play as I always play. You can't call me a dirty player. I play hard but fair."
