Players left off the team

June 3rd, 2006 | By: Bessam | 1 Comment »

Many Tunisians are upset about the fact that many strong players were left off of the National team for the World cup. Lemmere heavily prefered to pick European based players. There are a wealth of good players in the Tunisian League that were not slected. One of them bieng Amine Ltifi, who is the top scorer in the league. So I ask you all, are there any other obvious players that you would have liked to be on the team that were not selected? Also who do you think doesnt deserve to be on the team and why?

Lyon based Ben Arfa turned down a chance to play for Tunisia, yet there are dozens of Tunisian based players that would not hesitate to join the team. Most of the players on the Tunisian team besides the French born ones got their start in the Tunisian league.

Players I am happy with on the team as of now:
Goalkeepers: Ali Boumnijel (Club Africain), Hamdi Kasraoui (Esperance),

Defenders: Hatem Trabelsi (Ajax Amsterdam), Radhi Jaidi (Bolton Wanderers), Karim Hagui (Racing Strasbourg), David Jemmali (Girondins Bordeaux), Mehdi Meryeh (Etoile Sahel)[1st appearance on national team]

Midfielders: Mehdi Nafti (Birmingham City), Adel Chedli (FC Nuremberg), Riadh Bouazizi (Erciyespor), Hamed Namouchi (Glasgow Rangers)

Forwards: Yassine Chikhaoui (Etoile Etoile)[1st appearance on national team], Ziad Jaziri (Troyes), Francileudo dos Santos (Toulouse)

So i am happy or can at least live with 14 of the players selected. The others i am really not sure about at the moment.
