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 [...]

The headline of the article basically sums it up. We just couldn’t find that finishing touch today in a match that we dominated from start to finish. A few defensive lapses could have cost us but thankfully no such thing happened.
It’s hard for one to hide their disappointment when we were rather close to putting [...]

It’s two days before the match and things are already heating up for our potentially decisive encounter versus the Super Eagles of Nigeria. Ever since the draw was announced the two matches circled on the calendar were the home and away ties between the two African powerhouses.
A lot has happened since then and Nigeria’s misstep [...]

Wish I didn’t have to write this but weeks ago I read on a Tunisian newspaper (I believe Assabah Edit: It was Assahafa) that there was a chance Yassine Chikhaoui wasn’t completely recovered from his injury and that his comeback was being hampered by continuing pain in his knee.
I was concerned and posted the information [...]

So we won the match and actually looked quite decent when Darragi finally came on but the real question on everyone’s mind is why didn’t Coelho put him in from the start?
Consider this a place to drop your thought following the encounter. I have some commitments to attend to and will update this post [...]

(yep I stole mosaique’s jpeg, shame on me I know) Here we are then, Tunisia versus Mozambique is less than 24 hours away and though anticipation has been building on Tunisia WCB for a while, it seems our countrymen are only just waking upto the fact that this is kind of a big deal. Mosaique [...]

Bad news this morning as it was revealed the Issam Jemaa’s injury was worse than expected. His left knee is hurt (always the knee!) and he will be unable to take part in both the game against Mozambique and the one against Nigeria.
Some people have their personal opinions about this player and find him to [...]

A day after taming the Nile Crocodiles Humberto Coelho has revealed the roster for our upcoming World Cup qualifiers versus Mozambique (June 6th) and Nigeria (June 20th).
With the exception of the recently injured Issam Jemaa, it’s a very competitive squad and quite an athletic one as well. Maybe not as creative as some would have [...]

I still haven’t seen the match but from what I’ve read it seems we did what we had to and the team looked good in the first half but then the level of play went down after we took the solid lead into halftime. I’ll refrain from analysis until I’ve actually seen the whole thing…
Meanwhile, [...]

Tomorrow we face Sudan in a warm up for our June 6th World Cup qualifiers versus Mozambique. This match was meant to serve as a dress rehearsal of sorts but the way it was programmed didn’t allow for our the majority of our European based players to be called up.
Instead we’ve been treated to an [...]
