After having successfully crossed the first round of the first round, the national selection of the U20 today faces one of the favorites of the competition, Brazil.
After its qualification on the knockout in the round of 16 of the U20 World Cup which currently takes place in Argentina, the U20 national selection faces a hyper-favori Brazil for a place in the quarterfinals.
The match
The mission will not be easy against Brazilians who finished first in their group in front of Italy and Nigeria and who have a formidable attack.
It will therefore be another pair of sleeves for the protégés of Montassar Louichi, private, for the occasion, of their captain Gaith Ouahabi.
The opposition between Tunisians and Brazilians will take place this Wednesday, May 31 at 6.30 p.m. Wednesday. And in the event of a victory against Brazil, Tunisia will face Israel in the quarterfinals. A scenario that is already controversial in Tunisia before even facing Brazil.
The controversy
Note that on social networks, the controversy has continued to swell in the past three days as to the possibility of facing Israel in the quarterfinals in the event of a victory today.
The opinions are shared, but three positions emerge. The first proposes, in the event of qualification in the quarterfinals, to play against Israelis and to beat them; The second, more radical, offers to simply lose against Brazil; Finally the third, provides that in the event of qualification, the Tunisian delegation does not play its quarter -final and returns to the country!
The scenarios
If Tunisia (in case of qualification) is withdrawn, it is certain that this will go in the direction of those against normalization with the Zionist entity. Such a politically beneficial position would be accompanied by heavy sanctions on the part of FIFA.
In the event that the Tunisian authorities give their approval to face Israel, the image of Tunisia, which has always defended the Palestinian cause, is ecorned.
