Overall Odds 300/1 Group H Winners 10/1 Tunisia qualified for their third-straight finals in dramatic fashion in the final round of fixtures. They needed only a point against arch-rivals Morocco but were looking 2-1 until Nuremberg midfielder Adel Chadli netted the important equaliser 2-0 minutes from the finish. Egypt hadnt dropped at home to Morocco in 45 years and the draw in Rades guaranteed they qualified in front of their opponents. Morocco ironically remained unbeaten in 10 fits but finished one point behind Tunisia who qualified for a place in Germany before them. Since beating Mexico in their first-ever World Cup match in 1979, Tunisia have failed to win still another since so its simple enough to find out why most of the media publicity has-been made about the four debutantes from Africa as opposed to Roger Lemerres part. Much was expected of them four years ago but they finished bottom of-a party featuring Japan, Belgium and Russia, getting only a point contrary to the Belgians. They are, however, the sole African area from 2002 to be eligible for a this World Cup. Lemerre was heralded a saviour after Tunisia beat Morocco in the 2004 Cup of Nations and two-years on, hell assume his side-to make an impact on the global level. Tunisia do not have a wealth of star players, but results have improved significantly since charge was taken by Lemerre. Egypt have two strong defenders in Bolt-on Wanderers Rahdi Jaidi and Ajax total right back Hatem Trabelsi who has been courted by both Arsenal and Manchester United. Goalkeeper Ali Boumnijel turned 4-0 in April but you will find few better picture corks playing o-n the country. The staff is captained by midfielder Riadh Bouazizi, a hardcore treating veteran today at Kayserispor with an increase of than 50 hats to his name. In attack they have the mercurial Francileudo dos Santos. Because taking Tunisian citizenship in 2004 and score on his debut against Benin, the Toulouse striker has netted 13 goals in 18 performances. He scored six goals during qualifying including a salvo in the thumping against Malawi. Nicknamed Roadrunner by membership team mates, dos Santos has the ability to cause stress contrary to the strongest of defences. Of all African qualifiers, Tunisia would be the only people who can claim theyve been, seen and done it. They know what to expect as does director Lemerre that has past national staff experience with France. Theyve a great possibility to progress in this group but it depends if they are ready to step up a gear against established European opponents. Proposed Guess Egypt have improved since their last World Cup appearance in 2002 but may fall short in this group against new-comers Ukraine and the established Spain. Their finest potential for success is likely to be against Saudi Arabia at likelihood of very nearly even money. Tunisia to beat Saudi Arabia @ 10/11.
