Tunisia has done what is expected of a leader: winning with authority, without trembling, and confirming its place at the top. The great success (3-0) against Liberia is brilliant proof. In seven meetings, the Carthage Eagles have only left crumbs to their competitors. Nineteen points taken in twenty-one: the figure speaks of itself.
It is not only one more victory, it is a milestone on the road to the 2026 World Cup. Hazem Mastouri, Ferjani Sassi and Elias Saad embodied, each in their own way, the efficiency and serenity of this team. Behind, Aymen Dahmene recalled that Tunisia could also count on its local forces to maintain its solidity.
Beyond the score, an observation is essential: the selection of Sami Trabelsi has never seemed threatened. She dominated in intensity, in duels, in technical mastery. This impression of superiority is no coincidence, but the fruit of a collective shaped around a generation which evolves mainly in Europe, where the rigor and the rhythm forge paid automatisms.
However, nothing has yet been acquired. Monday’s meeting in Malabo, against an equatorial Guinea always catchy, sounds like a new maturity test. The last two stages, in October, will seal a course which, until then, flirts with exemplarity.
The Eagles of Carthage know that they wear more than a jersey: the hope of a people who dreams of vibrating again to the rhythm of a World Cup. This 3-0 against Liberia is a promise held. It remains to transform this trajectory into official qualification.
