With this being the only FIFA date between now and our first 2014 World Cup qualifier against Equatorial Guinea on June 1st, Sami Trabelsi deployed a somewhat experimental lineup yesterday against a Peru side featuring all of its European-based stars.
The formation, 4-3-3, was the same one that showed the most promise at the 2012 Afcon [...]

Sami Trabelsi has revealed his 21-man roster for our international friendly against Peru that is set for a 7:00 pm Tunisia time kick-off on February 29.
Our coach has decided to use this opportunity to test some European-based players who haven’t been called up in a while and another who never has been.
It makes sense given [...]

We went toe-to-toe with Ghana and lost due to a fatal goalkeeping error. There’s no shame in that, especially given how bravely we fought throughout the encounter and during the entirety of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
It is a loss that will be particularly hard to fathom for the players because they’ll know just [...]

In a match where Sami Trabelsi selected a heavily modified lineup, the Carthage Eagles put in their best team performance against the co-hosts but obtained their worst result of the competition. The switch from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-3 and the personnel changes, particularly in terms of side backs and midfielders, gave us a new [...]

Despite playing second fiddle to Niger for the majority of yesterday’s encounter, the Carthage Eagles managed to pull out a victory at the death and qualify for the second round of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations with a group game to spare. Sami Trabelsi called it the worst his team has ever played and [...]

It wasn’t pretty but our boys got their African Cup off to a winning start in Libreville on Monday against a technically impressive and offensively inefficient Atlas Lions team.
As predicted, starting four center backs in defense gave us no support on the wings and forced us to rely on moments of individual brilliance to create [...]

Sami Trabelsi settled on his final roster for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations today, cutting Walid Hichri, Hatten Baratli, and Iheb Msakni.
So no Msakni brother combo for us even though Iheb was nothing short of excellent in qualifiers and preparatory friendlies. It must sting for the freshly signed Esperance recruit who is surely a [...]

Out: Farouk Ben Mustafa, Fatah Gharbi, Hatem Bejaoui, and Lamjed Chehoudi.
In: Karim Haggui, Ammar Jemal, Houcine Ragued, Jamel Saihi, Sami Allagui, and Sabeur Khelifa.
Such are the changes compared to the previous roster list. Now the team is back in Tunisia until January 6 when they leave for Dubai where they’ll face Sudan on January 9 [...]

That’s what a surprised Dutch legend had to say after we played out an exciting goalless draw at the Estadi Lluis Companys against his star-studded Catalonia side. Indeed, we are pretty good. The question is how do we get to really good or even better?
As far as results go, a 2-0 away win against Basque [...]

Get excited. Full list here. Let’s hope they all respond favorably to the call-up so we can finish off the year with a bang and face them on December 30.
