Nigeria 2-2 Tunisia: Carthage Eagles Soar In Abuja
This encounter was really something else. From the buildup that began ever since we failed to overcome Nigeria in Rades to the action on the field, the timing of the goals, the manner in which they were scored and the final result itself.
Make no doubt about it, today we witnessed something special. Something we will [...]
Step 4: Nigeria vs. Tunisia Preview
This game hardly needs an introduction but if that were really the case then I’d stop writing right now and that’s obviously not about to happen. It’s just that considering the setting, the rivalry, and the implications this encounter has for each team in terms of World Cup qualifying, we’ve already been dissecting it in [...]
The 24 For Nigeria: Coelho Takes A Gamble
Everyone who thought that the team we fielded against Cote d’Ivoire was essentially the one we’d be taking to Abuja is in for quite a surprise today. Coelho held a press conference and announced his roster which features no less than three players who are either completely new to the team (Mrabet, Chahed) or haven’t [...]
Nigeria’s List For Abuja Showdown Announced
So Shuaibu Amodu dropped his list. Notably absent are Yakubu and Martins who aren’t fit enough… It’s only 21 players but he will be adding two more on Monday. The Nigerian coach is giving himself until then to decide between Bolton’s Danny Shittu and FC Sion’s Obinna Nwaneri as well as between Club Brugge striker [...]
A Useful Test: Tunisia Draws Cote d’Ivoire in Sousse
I’ll update this article with a full match report later tonight but in the meantime I wanted to provide a fresh post where we can discuss the game further.
It was great to see the team play in font of a packed house yesterday. A nice sendoff before our departure for Abuja next month.
Lots of justified [...]
Status Check: Tunisia vs. Cote d’Ivoire Preview
We’re two days away from our August 12th matchup versus Drogba and company and you know what the means: Preview time. Yup, even though things have been unusually quiet on the blog recently there’s still a little thing we call the Tunisian National Team which we all care about quite a bit and it just [...]
Coelho’s 23 For Cote d’Ivoire
The list dropped today somewhat unexpectedly (thought it was coming out tomorrow) and the biggest story is Nabil Taider’s callup as well as the return of Chaouki Ben Saada. Saihi is back too after an extended absence due to a pretty serious knee injury. Hopefully he can blast another one like he did against Holland.
I’m [...]
The Pre-Selected Elephants For Tunisia vs. Cote d’Ivoire
Vahid Halilhodzic has announced a list of 32 players from which he will be selecting a smaller roster (around 23 usually) which will travel to Sousse to take part in our August 12th friendly.
No real surprises here, just happy to see they’ve called up the big guns so we can really use this as [...]
The Consequences Of Pescara
Infosfoot.net and Mosaique FM are both reporting that the technical staff of the national Olympic team which is composed of Skander Kasri, Lotfi Hsoumi, and Slim Ben Othman will not have their contracts renewed after our participation at the 2009 Mediterranean Games in Pescara.
While that’s not altogether surprising, what remains a mystery is why Esperance’s [...]
Chermiti The Agent
Modeling wasn’t enough of a side gig for our striker apparently because according to Amine Chermiti, his club (and more specifically his coach Lucien Favre) is interested in quite a number of Tunisian players. The list reportedly includes Aymen Balbouli, Youssef Msakni, Ammar Jemal, and Oussemma Darragi.
Here’s what he said word for word after naming [...]
