Truely Jaziri is tunisias fastest striker. He and Santos called by bbc “The magic duo” very dangerous to have on your half.

I respect your opinion that edges it towards Chermiti. I am just partial to Chikhaoui’s technical ability. It’s just a matter of the type of style that I like in a player. Don’t get me wrong though, I’ve made it very clear in this blog that Chermiti is also a big favorite of mine and how could he not be? He is one of the fastest players I’ve ever seen. And I’m talking on the world scale here. It’s not by accident that he was voted best player in the African Champions League. Also the thing he has over Chikhaoui is his combativity. Chikhaoui is more aloof and a pretty quiet guy while Chermiti is a cut throat type of player that loves to win above all else. In fairness to Chikhaoui, he’s come a long way in just one half season at FC Zurich and is starting to learn how to be more aggressive. The future is bright for both of them.

I also thoght it was hard to answer but there is just this buzz surrounding Chermiti. I do know Chikhaoui is a good no 10. just his passing is not that great imo. In their respective positions i just feel there is something about Chermiti that edges it for me, im just suprised he didnt break through the ESS first team younger. Not that i knew much about him before 4 months or so before the african cup of nations tournament it just seems qute suprising while Chikhaoui was captain at something like 17.

It’s an interesting question Tom. I’m not sure really how to answer it though. They’re so different. One is short, a born goalscorer, and super fast and the other is more technical and a true offensive midfielder who has drawn comparisons to Zidane in his young career. Time will tell who is bigger but I don’t know… Chikhaoui will make it to a big club before Chermiti though. They are both the future of Tunisian football… Sorry I can’t properly answer the question.

Do people agree with me that Chermiti is a bigger talent than Chikhaoui and has better potential?

Tunisia went home,I am happy!
cry babies used to cry in Tunisia and got away with allot, but in Ghana, they have to earn the match. It shows that Tunisia is a weak team who likes to blame someone else; the coach, the referee, the weather,…anybody.
go home and eat more………………………………………………

Thanks Mostafa and good luck to Egypt in the Semis. I wish you guys all the best and hope you don’t see a referee like this one today. I agree with everyone who’s saying we played better. Little details lost this one but I am so proud of this team. My post game report will come later tonight once I’ve digested this loss a little more. I’m gutted because I know we are better than them.

Nooooooooooooo! I thought we had it. We played better football from the time we were down 2-0. I’m really disappointed. I have to say though that Lemerre did a great job coaching and preparing for this tournament despite a few incidents. I am sad to see him leave.

Our defense was good. We only made 2 or 3 major blunders and Cameroon took those chances to score.
