Tunisia is grappling with the disappointment of not qualifying for the upcoming Football World Cup in Brazil after suffering a 2-0 defeat against Cape Verde. In the wake of this setback, Coach Nabil Maâloul has announced his resignation, stating, “It was my last match with the national team. We were in a day without. Nothing worked against Cape Verde. The executive players did not respond. The opponent was better than us today. It’s the people who are the most disappointed.”
Playing in front of their home crowd, the Tunisian team only needed a draw to advance to the 3rd round of the Africa zone qualifiers. Tunisian football finds itself in crisis, especially following the disappointment of not qualifying for the CAN (African Cup of Nations).
A debate is now surfacing on the web regarding Saber Khalifa and whether he played a role in Tunisia’s failure to qualify. Some are questioning if the player intentionally received a yellow card to avoid playing in the crucial match, as certain suggestions imply. The circumstances surrounding Khalifa’s actions are becoming a topic of discussion and speculation among football enthusiasts.
