World Cup Preview IV: Citizens on Patrol




Team: Tunisia

Useless Tidbits:

1. Recent survey by the National Geographic society shows that most American children cannot find Louisiana on a map of the United States or Iraq on a middle eastern map. That said there's no way those kids are ever pinpointing Tunisia on any type of map.

2. Good news: Tunisia is in group H which is generally considered the worst of all World Cup groups. But of course one reason that group H is thought to be so crappy is because you know Tunisia is in it.

3. I don't know what the most revered and mythological soccer record is in Tunisia and I don't know who holds it. But I'm pretty sure whoever holds said record didn't reach that elevated plateau by purchasing drugs for narcoleptic-menstruating lupus patients from BALCO and then proceeded to stick them in their ass.

4. Tunisia is the only African country to make it to back to back World Cups and could easily advance to the W.C. knock-out stage. Plus they beat arch-rival Morocco to reach the big dance. Rest assured American children could never locate fucking Morocco either.
