Tunisia dey fourth for Group E of di World Cup qualifying campaign with 14 points, two behind Cameroon and South Sudan, afta one fourth window for Radès wey make observers want more. One narrow but frustrating defeat to South Sudan, one unconvincing win over Cape Verde and one heavy loss to Cameroon na im make up di modest record, though qualification hopes still dey alive as dem enter di final February window if Tunisia fit finish second or among di best third-placed teams.
Head coach Adel Tlatli don oversee one middling three-window record wey inconsistency mark am. Di starting five don look weakened and unstable, though for some matches, and especially against South Sudan, di side show discipline and deserve at least a win. One late collapse against di South Sudanese, wey take advantage of Tunisian turnovers and positioning errors, cost di team dearly despite strong three-point shooting and effective zone defence earlier for di game.
Standout performances come from Abada, di clear best player across di window, plus Toumi, Mnafed and Ben Yahia for di final outing. Five months remain before di last qualifying push, and patience dey needed as di programme rebuild from level wey dey below dia past peaks, with di domestic clubs still dey recover from years of weakened structures.
