I’ve been looking all over for the Burundi highlights from Bujumbura but they’re nowhere to be found. I wanted to see how we played because we missed a lot of chances… The reason it wasn’t shown in the first place was because the Nigerian agency that was meant to install the necessary equipment did everything but find a power source! Professionalism at its highest. There’s a lot of coordination involved that we don’t even know about but obviously someone messed up along the way.

We won’t have this problem at Rades and the game is scheduled to be shown. I’ll talk more about this in the match preview…

Tunisia is going to play on Saturda, right?. I hope TV7 sends the match against Burundi.

Oops, I said November for the France Friendly but I meant October.

Sorry for the confusion but there’s no game scheduled… Steve was just saying that he hopes a match between our two countries happen in the future because he’s a USA Soccer fan and we chat about both our teams a lot. So if a match ever did take place we would really get into it.

If a game did happen between them though I would be really happy about it. Right now I’m focused on qualifying but one friendly that IS scheduled is in November and it’s against none other than France. Can’t wait for that!

Wow! If that match does happen for Tunisia vs USA, I will be the first to get my tickets. I know a lot of tunisians here in DC, VA, AND MD. I want to say congradulations to ben saada, he will get even better playing in Ligue 1.

Hahaha, nah this is another kid. I harass you about Yassine Chikhaoui. I can see the confusion though (Chaouki, Chikhaoui, Chermiti… we get lots of “Ch’s” in the team)

I’m waiting on that friendly too. Preferably one that takes place in Washington DC. So I can finally go and cheer on my boys. Last time I saw them was last summer in a game against Kenya (1-0 win). Too long ago if you ask me.

Still waiting on the announcement for that US v. Tunisia friendly.
