Sweden first as Tunisia's World Cup path becomes clear

Sweden first up, and Group F is wide open

Your World Cup opens against Sweden. No exact kick-off time or date yet from the source (2), but this is the match that sets the tone for everything. Sweden will be physical, organized, and expect to get through. You go in as underdogs, and that has suited this Tunisia side before. Nothing from the Sweden camp about lineups yet, but they will lean on their system play. Tunisia's job is simple: frustrate them early, grow into the game, and take the chance when it comes.

Netherlands vs Japan kicks off Group F on Sunday

Tunisia watch with interest: a Dutch stumble would blow the group open, but a routine win keeps the pressure squarely on you and Sweden.
