Congratulations Tahar, you just broke the 1000 comment mark for Tunisia WCB!! I didn’t want to do it myself hehe.

I can see Ouertani scoring a goal off a set piece with his head like he usually does. Hopefully Dhaouadi keeps improving. His return has been really helpful and he’ll be even more important with Mouihbi suspended.

im not too familiar with club africain, but my understanding is that dhaouadi is the best player on that team, am i right in thinking this, or is mouihibi the better player. in any case, there will be no shortage of stars in this game…nafkha-ben yahia, bendhifallah-ouertani, meriah-souissi, not to mention the goal keepers. i’ll be looking forward to this one.

It’ll be 2-0 ESS at least! I think they’ll get the job done early on. They did not look their best today, but they convincingly beat Stade Tunisien in Rades. Etoile is unforgiving in Sousse. My guess is that both Bendhifallah and Traoui will score! Gilson may score too!

Based on current form Mouihbi is definitely the best player on CA. Dhaouadi is just coming back from that injury so he’s just finding his rhythm (he created the goal for CA today). When they are both in top shape it’s hard to distinguish between them though. I’d give a slight edge to Mouihbi. Dhaouadi has a history of making amazing runs (the difficult part) and not putting the ball into the net (the so called easy part). Mouihbi’s is usually lethal once he reaches the box (even though he missed an absolute sitter today). So that’s my way of not really answering your question Thamer hehe. They could both go to europe and do big things eventually.

CA 2-1 win (yahia, dhifallah, ouertani) in that order.

As Rachid said “Etoile is unforgiving in Sousse”,my prediction is 3-1 for ESS..
Did you heard that next match between CA & EST “Le Derby” will be played without fans !!
Forza ESS

Yes I heard this and I was about to write something about it. I might wait until after EST appeals the decision, even though I don’t think they’ll get it overturned. It’s really sad. Two derbies in a row with no fans. That’s just not right.

i think etoile will win or it will be a tie
both teams are good
even if ESS is missing chermiti, they still have other fast plays like gilson silva and that other guy who scored both goals for etoile in the cup games

Mawen ,the player who scored both goals in the cup ESS vs SRS(Ralway) is
Muri Ola Ogunbiyi
I like it it’s a very good player ,he won three times the African champions League(2 with Enyemba and 1 with L’etoile)I hope that he’ll score against CA

ok thanks etoiliste
just wondering, what country is he from

Muri Ola Ogunbiyi was born in Nigeria ,he has a Beninese nationality and he plays for Benin National football team..

The “classico” is 4 tomorrow ..I can’t wait

great, i can’t wait to watch
it is going to be a very good game
i hope it doesn’t rain tommorow so i can watch

marwen: what rain has to do with watching?

Hi!
I just discovered WCB by chance and I really like it!
Only 2 hours to the Kick-off, I’m an ESS fan and I’m having a headache already.

Hi!
I just discovered WCB by chance and I really like it!
Only 1 hour and a half to the Kick-off, I’m an ESS fan and I’m having a headache already.
I think that Mouihbi’s absence will be more influential on CA then Chermiti’s, because ESS has more solutions on the bench: Mosaab Sassi, Tempo Fwayo, Slim Jday and this year’s flop Sadat Bukari who could prove us all wrong today.
I hope for you guys in USA and Canada that it won’t rain so that you could watch this historical match.

LOL, you’re all talking about rain and I just woke up today and its absolutely pouring. I don’t think it’ll affect Sopcast! I’ll be paying close attention. Forza CA and may the best team win. What a way to start my day. Sellami shoud be back for CA and Osagie will probably replace Mouihbi. Yassine welcome to WCB, I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far. I agree with your assessment of Etoile’s bench situation. There are definitely options there. I’d love to see Sassi, I really like that guy after watching him dominate during the U17 World Cup. That kid has a future!

Thanks Rami!
The match ended 2 hours ago, it was a draw 2-2 and the two teams produced a very enjoyable performance.
M. Sassi came off the bench at the 78th minute, he didn’t do much but you can see from how he touches the ball that he would be a great player in Tunisia’s history, he indeed has a bright future.

rami..why don’t you start a ca blog on the offside?, i have started a zamalek blog. also, if anyone interested you may add your club

I’ve given it some thought Tamim but right now I’m afraid handling this blog is enough of a challenge. Maybe this will change in the future. However if anyone else is interested do shoot Daryl an email expressing your desire to start a team blog on theoffside.com (it’s our sister site). email is daryl@theoffside.com

Rachid, I bet you’d make a good Etoile blogger. Skander or Thamer you could do Esperance. Tahar you could do CA (excuses if I missed everyone, I know plenty out there could do well for whatever team they support). Haha ok I’ll stop being pushy! Just giving you ideas buddies. Get at Daryl if you’re interested (it’s really fun!). Let him know why you’d be a good choice. Esperance, CA, CAB, Sfax etc. As Tamim pointed out, they’re all for the taking. It’d be great to get some more Arab/African representation on the Offside to balance things out. Right now I’m sticking to covering Tunisia in general.
