You made a mistake buddy , Tunisia were actually the first ever african nation to win a world cup game , beating mexico 3-1 in Argentina 78 , granting africa one more seat in the world cup
Really enjoying these videos, nice way to learn a little bit about some of the lesser known teams in the World Cup.

Tunisia is the first African country to win a world cup match. They best Mexico 3-1 in the 1978 world cup. Nice video though. Keep it up.

I was thinking the same thing when he said they never won a game in world cup history. Also Egypt was the first African team to play in a world cup it was in 1934.
Tifo Football making good videos. Water is wet
Some of the best World Cup content right here. Great work lads!
Tunísia actually already won a wc game, even further, they were the first African team to ever win a wc game
0-0 against West Germany in 1978 not 1974. Only nit picking because your vids are such quality 💙

Fantastic video guys as always :) but check your stats... Tunisia drew with West Germany in world cup 1978 not 1974, and they did win a world cup game. That was in World Cup 1978 against Mexico 3-1
Amazing video finally someone who didn't underestimate tunisia but we managed to get a win against Mexico 3-1 in our first world Cup appearance in argentine
I'm belgian and I really hope our team don't underestimate Panama and certainly not Tunisia. They have played some good pre-world cup games.
Awesome video. I loved seeing my country (Panama) appear in one of your videos.
‘England will cruise the group, and should reach the last eight.’ Pardon?
Great video All the videos on peviewing groups are very imformative and the visuals are superb Thanks

Hammy Shayaddy The fact that we are going to a world cup is a great achievement already but seen as how they are currently on a hot streak playing great football, I except them to at least make it past the group round, 15 games unbeaten is no easy task specially when you play teams such as Croatia, Colombia, Sweden and Argentina. Last team to beat Peru was Brazil back in 2016.

They are on a hot streak. I'm rooting for them to at least get out of the group. And if they play Argentina in the round of 16 they may beat Argentina, they know each other very well, I think it would be the easiest opponent for Peru in the round of 16. Plus they have Guerrero back, great lift for Peru. As a fellow south American I hope they do well, I'm not a fan of Argentina.

Hammy Shayaddy thanks for sending good vibes, the only think that can knock Peru out a are (apart from that rivals) their own inexperienced at this type of competition and a nervous breakdown.
Let's face it once forever; England plays in a quietly transformative style witn an entirely different tactical vision compare to the past, they are eagerly composed to control possession, technically are renovated with a number of incisive young playmakers to hold on the ball, igniting movements& switching positions neatly like dele alli, sterling and lingard and their full backs are ambitious to go forward with ball and defending with awareness; yet the group appeared to be the easiest one and even if they manage to get out of group then the play offs is the basis for their judgment; how would we expect Tunisia& panama to equally compete with both England& Belgium well prepared squad and experienced players? It's not a work of art to win against them but take those teams very serious because they have strategy at this stage.
I'm calling it right now - Tunisia is going to draw with England. Tunisia is ranked #14 in the FIFA rankings, England historically underachieves, and they can easily think that the Tunisia and Panama games don't matter since they're so focused on Belgium.

Not only have Tunisia won a World Cup game, it was the first African & Arabic country to do so (1978 3-1 vs Mexico, & drew 0-0 against World Champions then West Germany) Great video tho, keep it up 👏
Actually, Tunisia won its first game ever in 1978 (and not 1974 as said in the video), 3-1 against Mexico. Regarding the tactical analysis, latest games of Tunisia revealed that we are probably going to play in a 4-1-2-3, with Elyes Skhri (from Montpellier) as deep-lying defensive midfielder. We press really high on the pitch and although we don't have a regular scorer, Khazri proved this season with Rennes that he is more than capable to play as striker. And there is also Badri, a winger that can play as central midfielder or striker who is really capable with ball (two quality strikes against Portugal and Turkey) and has a good vision and good technique as well. So, yeah, sure we have a high probability of being eliminated from the first round (which is logical given the fact that we are in the same group with two strong teams, at least individually), but I'm believe that we can be of trouble in this group. That said, your videos are really great and insightful, keep up the good work !
Nice video. You sir have earned a subscription!
It's important to note that Radja Nainggolan will not be in Belgium's squad for Russia 2018
tunisia have won a world cup game against mexico in 1978 argentina get your facts right
De Bruyne has not expressed discontent with Martinez, he just said that they still had some work to do to improve teamplay. He just really wants to improve with the whole squad, and with Martinez the team tactics will be in a further stage, certainly in comparison with Wilmots. (Even though Martinez left Radja at home for '"tactical reasons")
One small correction: Tunisia won their first game (the first game ever to be won by an African team in a WC) in 1978 WC against Mexico (3 -1), and they showed impressive talent while delivering fluid football, to the point that FIFA decided to have two African teams to qualify to the later WCs instead of just one (at a time when even considering that thought has for long been faced with moquery).
England got lucky with this group but wont go any further than the final 16. 1. belgium 9pts 2. england 6pts 3. tunisia 3pts 4. panama 0pts but i wouldnt be surprised to see england struggle against tunisia
please do a video about how germany will play in this world cup :)

Been waiting for this group analysis :)
De Bruyne usually plays alongside Dembélé or witsel as a deepline playmaker. Just watch their last three games and you'll see. Mertens usually plays ad a right forward.
sterlin tattoo haha:D love your illustrations
Group H is next. My god, that's a tough group...
I'm English, but I never trust the England squad to do anything but disappoint... I don't trust our defence at all. Maybe this year will be different, but our cockiness almost never pays off and we slip up against the underdogs. I see Belgium winning our group.
Tunisia draw against West Germany was in Argentina 78 not in Germany 74!! Also in 78 they won against Mexico 3-1 and lost to Poland 0-1. They ended third in the group with 3 points because at the time a win counted for 2 points only
The Tunisian part is full of mistakes, they have won their first ever world cup game in 1978 (where they drew west germany too) they play a 433 and their best player Elyess Skhiri isn't even mentionned. Saber Khelifa very rarely plays and Anice Badri one of the most important men up front isn't even mentionned. Wahbi Khazri plays as a Striker/False 9 and not CAM for Tunisia. Makes me wonder what other teams am i missinformed about by you.
I love ur reviews
Tifo Football, Tunisia won their first match in world cup 3-1 in 1978 against Mexico. Also, you ignored Badri who is one of the most dangerous in attack and is more likely to play than Ben Youssef and Khlifa. I think they will play 4-4-2 with Khazri playing as a forward. Other than that, good job.
The advert before this video was a copa90 video. The one about England and the media.
My predictions before tournament 1.Belguim they have such a squad and for me they finally go into semi finals but missed out on final and Lukaku and Hazard will have great tournaments and they will be strong on counter attack 2.England I believe they be good in the air so set plays as important but lack of quality will cost them in ens and Kane will have good tournament and believe last 8 but never know 3.Tunisa will be no pushovers they make it tough for Belgium and England so third but have strong showing 4.Panama will be pushovers for me they conceded 12 goals i believe buy being their is achievement in highest order so well done but bottom and they will score i think
Belgium will flop at the World Cup. Sure they have great individual players, but they don’t really have a system. They don’t look like a proper team. England actually have a clear identity this time. The team is also looking good and united. Only concerning thing, the lack of creativity in the midfield. It’s why Wilshere should’ve been selected. Anyways Tunisia don’t look bad and could cause an upset. Not really expecting anything from Panama, who are probably the weakest team in the tournament.

Excellent video. Full of facts and information.
Tunisia did a win a game and it was in 1978 tournament against Mexico 3-1, check your informations again please
Nice vid man.
Tunisia actually have won a world cup game in 1978 beating mexico 3-1 as the first arabic / african team to win a WC game.
I think Belgium really may have it this year. They may go the way of the Dutch in 2010 though - a second place does seem tragically plausible.

Brian Walsh that's pretty overstretched, if they top the group then they will face Brazil in QF, if they finish second they will likely face Columbia and if they manage to beat them then they will face Germany in QF. So, Don't bet your money on them.

SIR Lord Henry mortimer I will admit Brazil and Germany are obvious favorites, yet it’s rather discounting to insinuate that Belgium at their best could not give the German or Brazilian sides a run for their money; that is especially considering that we have little to go on statistically head2head with Brazil. I also believe you are overlooking the importance of goalkeepers here. Likely Belgium will face brazil in QF. Hazard + Lukaku + De Bruyne vs Neymar + Jesus + Coutinho is not so predictable as you think.

Brian Walsh Belgium is a good side but with Martinez as coach, Belgium will not win anything . They left ningollan out, possibily the best b2b midfielder in the world. While janujen was selected,Their game is too narrow and lack fluidity and their midfield axis is too rigid and pridictible and lack flair. Fellini,dembele, witsel are all grafters and are not creaters . As, the vedio suggest ,they don't usually deploy 4 at the back and play 2 in the midfield, that makes their side a bit unbalanced. How, Martinez integrate such talented core groups of player will be the deciding factor in their progress to the next round. As for good GK well Brazil has Allison, Spain has detected gea, Germany has neur, France has lloris all of them are better than courtois.

Belgium should be big challengers for WC but Martinez will bottle it I'm certain. His preliminary squad selection described him well. Had a bunch of useless players in. Also including Axel Witsel ahead of Nainggolan is ridiculous. KBVB should've appointed someone better, like Blanc who was free & has experience at internationals. Took France to semis.
@ Tifo Football your football knowledge is impeccable. Great videos, my guy.
Just wanted to let you know Panama plays a 4-1-4-1. Panama has dabbled before with a back 5, but rarely used.
Release Group H tactical preview plz!!
Tunisia was not at WC '74 but '78 and won a match: the first African win on World Cups, 3-1 against Mexico
Tunisia won a world cup game before .. against mexico in 1978 it ended 3/1 for tunisia .. great channel though
“England will cruise the group, and should reach the last eight.” You’re both SO right and SO likely to be proven wrong. Schrödinger’s football team.
I actually don't agree with Tunisia display. You forgot Skhiri who is a key player in front of the CB. We played the last 5 friendlies with him and Sassi in support. Khazri if he is back will be playing forward with sliti on the left and Badri on the right. I don't think you took into consideration the friendlies.. actually even Mathlouthi will be the second goal keeper behind Moez Hassen
hey could you do one on Everton's fourth place finish (the only team to get a top 4 spot with negative goal difference)
Can you try and predict every match and the score line ?? Btw thx for the great vids
Tunisia won vs Mexico in WC 1978. The draw vs West Germany was in that same year not in 1974.
Very good insight, subbed.
De Bruyne will almost certainly start deeper at center mid in case anyone is wondering

Tunesia also played with their best players ,with only 29% position, get your own facts correct
Belgium, as usual, underperforming. England looks very solid. Tunisia is playing VERY well. Panama is expected to finish last. I'll go ahead and say that the group will end with Tunisia and Belgium having the same points but Tunisia with a better GD. Group G: 1st - England 2nd - Tunisia 3rd - Belgium 4th - Panama

Playing Walker as a centre half will ultimately lead to Southgate leading England to glory or struggle against a minnow and picking up his P45.
Tunisia's Defender Yohan Benalouane has UCL Experience though.
This formation needs wide players who can get forward. Just relying on De bryne and hazard to deliver goals will only work against the small teams. Teams that make back 3 work do so with proper wide midfield players not five defenders.
Tunisia won its first ever world cup game against mexico 3-1 in 1978.
1. Belgium (7) 2. England (7) 3. Tunisia (3) 4. Panama (0) England or Belgium to top it depending on who scores more
Actually Tunisia did WIN a world cup game back in 1978, 3-1 against mexico.
FOOTBALLS COMING HOME🏴🏴🏴
Alberto Quintero is out of the World Cup for Panama
Tunisia's previous match against Spain showed that they are a team not to laugh at... They've dominated Spain's first team while playing with most of their 2ND TEAM! Tunisia won't surprise me if they upset England and get out of the group. Plus, Tunisia drew against Portagul while loosing 2-0 in the first half, to make it 2-2 the 2nd half. And their unlucky loss against Spain was their first loss of the year... Btw, I'm not Tunisian, so don't @ me, by saying"I'm being biased"...

Your information about Tunisia's record is incorrect. They've won a world cup game in the 1978 World Cup 3-1 against Mexico
You good telling the name of Tuniza
What? less than a minute in and you're al;ready talking asbout how KDB plays at right inside forward (where Mertens plays) - he ALWAYS plays CM for them!
Im a mexican and sadly I remember that Tunisia defeated us 3 - 1, I think they became the first team from Africa to win a match at the world cup
Going to England v Tunisia in Volgogorod...
Need to start rashford
Yes finally
Tifo Football, What name track? pls
"England will cruise the group" Whoa whoah whoah......when was the last time we won our first group match? Wouldn't be surprised if we drew against Tunisia and Panama and go in needing to beat Belgium with all the pressure on.
just to correct a mistake for you that Tunisia won a world cup game 1978 VS Mexico
England will cruise the group? My faith in your analysis just went out the window 😅
England- “Should make it to the last 8” Id be happy getting at the group
Noice never though the quakes logo would show up on here
Belgium and England will fight for 1st- i think Belgium wil top it. Tunisia will probs finish 3rd, just ahead of Panama.
still dont know y belguim left that roma cdm man hes so good
Waiting for group H :-)))
Msakni is also injured and not playing in Russia
Panamá lost Quintero and is likely to play 4 1 4 1... yet we are excited to play wc for the 1st time!!
so for Tunisia we managed 0-0 vs west germany but we actually did win our opening game vs mexico 3-1 in 1978.
it’s such a waste to pick martinez when belgium have so many talented/world class players. and top of that he doesn‘t have the balls to pick nainggolan
Belgium will go through, they have good players.
Tunisia will surprise some people in my opinion
wow bro! great
Lool tunisia was the first ever african team to win a wc game actually 😂😂😂😂😂 lool
I think we really should of included Jonjo Shelvey in the squad
