Tunisia out before Netherlands finale in catastrophic World Cup

Tunisia's humiliation is already sealed, but the Netherlands game looms as the final, hollow act of a World Cup campaign that collapsed before it ever began. Two matches, zero points, nine goals conceded, the 5–1 dismantling by Japan and the 4–0 repeat that followed confirmed elimination with a full group game to spare. The Dutch need a win to secure top spot in Group F, which turns this into a grim procession: your team playing for nothing while the opposition chase a prize. Ali Abdi wept on the pitch and then tore into the federation, demanding a purge of the old guard and a total rebuild. The Tunisian press called it "affligeant", and it is hard to find a starker descriptor for what may be Africa's worst-ever World Cup showing by a major nation.
