After a thunderous start against the Fiji Islands, Tunisia U17 takes on a completely different challenge this Thursday: Argentina. The young Carthage Eagles face the Albiceleste selection at 2:30 p.m. for the clash at the top of Group D of the U17 World Cup in Qatar.
Buoyed by their big 6-0 victory in the inaugural match, the Tunisians impressed with their fluid collective play and their offensive realism. Under the leadership of their coach Mohamed Amine Naffeti, they share the lead of the group with Argentina, who won 3-2 against Belgium. This meeting could already seal the fate of qualification for the round of 16.
A success would allow the Eagles of Carthage to validate their ticket from the second day, while Argentina will seek to confirm its status as favorite. The match therefore promises to be intense between two extremely effective teams.
With morale high after their offensive display against Fiji, the Tunisians will this time have to demonstrate defensive rigor and composure to resist Argentine pressure.
