Tunisia bow out against the Netherlands with nothing left but pride

Netherlands await, and Tunisia are already out

Your team plays the Netherlands on Friday in the final Group F match, and the only thing left is pride (1) (2). Tunisia are already eliminated after shipping nine goals in two games, a 5–1 loss to Japan, then 4–0 to the same opponent, and the Dutch need a result to lock in top spot (4) (5).

Hervé Renard warned before the tournament that there are "no magicians in football." His side never found one either.

Khedira, Mejbri, Ayari, who starts the last dance?

The predicted lineups are in flux. Rani Khedira, Hannibal Mejbri, and Khalil Ayari are all in the mix for Renard's final selection (4). Nobody expects a rotated squad, but the mood around the camp is grim. Ali Abdi was in tears after the Japan rout, calling out the federation for a total lack of planning. Ellyes Skhiri called it what it was, a premature exit, and a somber one.

Watch it

The match kicks off Friday, June 26. CBS Sports has the stream in the US (1). German viewers can find it on MagentaTV (3).
