 Former African Cup of Nations champions Tunisia have had a taste of international competition in Germany already with a 2005 Confederation Cup appearance. It may help them ease into their fourth World Cup.
A respectable six wins, three draws and just one loss brought Tunisia through the qualification stages. But only a thin thread held together what sounds like an easy march to Germany -- it was an own-goal on the part of north African rival Morocco in the last qualification game that allowed Tunisia to book their tickets to Germany. |  Captain Hatem Trabelsi leads of Africa's best and most experienced defenses. In addition to a strong line-up in front of their own posts, Haykel Guemamdia makes sure Tunisia stay effective on the opposite end of the field as well. |
