Tunisia beat a gray France but were eliminated

Tunisia did his homework on Wednesday, earning a victory against France (1-0) in their search for a pass in the round of 16 of Qatar World Cup 2022. But I need a double favor on Australia-Denmark and it didn’t happen. Specifically, so that Tunisia It was classified as a draw in the aforementioned rivalry, and the ‘socceroos’ won.

Franceclassified early and assured leadership except for a freak accident, jumped on the green of Education City Stadium with ‘eleven’ full of substitutes. No trace of Mbappe, Griezmann, Dembele and company, although these three would end up leaving in the final stage in a sterile attempt to avoid defeat. In fact, Deschamps aligned some of its troops away from their natural positions and roles, such as guendouzi plays as a winger or the madridista Camavinga suffering much on the left side.

About Tunisiamore than what has been seen so far in the World Cup, including the seasoned ones skhiri Y Laidouni in the machine room, fighting for every split ball as if their lives depended on it. One is in Cologne and the other is in Ferencvaros but it wouldn’t be surprising if next summer they end up in teams with bigger ambitions.

From the first whistle France took control of the ball, even if in reality it was Tunisia who gave it to him Jalel Kadri, the only Arab technicians present in Qatar, they are comfortable with the reaction and uncomfortable with the proposition. And therefore it is not surprising that, during the first act, the dangerous actions were Tunisian white and not ‘bleu’ despite the fact that Deschamps’ men accumulated more than 60% of the possession.

Already in the second half, and looking out of the corner of his eye at the Al Janoub stadium where the Australia-Denmark, Tunisia he took a step forward and found the goal with which to top the scoreboard. It is at 58′, incl Khazri removing a sloth Varane before passing boss with a gentle touch. madness broke out Tunisiaand it will not decrease because at that moment they are in the round of 16.

But how Australia ended up in the past Denmarkthe success of Tunisia it is nothing more than honor. And in the addition marked griezmannbut the goal was disallowed, as if ‘Don Fútbol’ decided to have a courtesy detail on Tunisia.

However, the African team will go home after the group stage is over, although it does so with the honor (albeit bitter) of having prevailed France and leaving as a remnant that this is one of the teams that deserves the luck to reach the playoffs. As for those DeschampsThey are contenders for the title, yes, but the image they gave on Wednesday was very poor.
