Feature
Six World Cups, six group-stage exits — Tunisia arrive in 2026 desperate to finally turn up at the knockout stages. Sabri Lamouchi has built a tidy, diaspora-rich side that didn't ship a single goal in qualifying and shifts shape without fuss. The worry is sharpness at the top end: this is a team big on organisation but light on elite tournament know-how, and a tricky group will test whether they can play on the front foot.
That's that, then. Tunisia are out at the group stage — the maths finally caught up. A disappointing end, but there'll be stories to tell and lessons to take from it.
