Tunisia triumphed in their qualifying playoff with a 1-0 aggregate victory over Mali to book a ticket to the 2022 FIFA World Cup for the Carthage Eagles, but Tunisian supporters and media were far from impressed by the quality of attacking play. Tunisian publication La Presse laments the manner in which the Carthage Eagles qualified, pointing out that their team only produced one good attacking chance through the two legs and were forced to focus on defending due to their inferiority in the midfield.
Editor Rafik Herguem reflects the view of Tunisian supporters that their team will likely fail to impress in Qatar if they intend to bunker down and fail to find an attacking rhythm that can cause more superior opponents trouble. Herguem’s column is in the link below as Tunisia has plenty of work to do if they want to avoid their sixth group stage exit in six participations.
