Tunisia, Sweden, World Cup 2026, loss, coach, Moshni, Anis Ayari. Former Tunisia international Anis Ayari has called for the sacking of coach Sabri Moze after the team's 1-5 loss to Sweden in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup. Ayari believes that the team's performance in this match can only be described as catastrophic, emphasizing that coach Moze made major mistakes in his team selection and lineup, which directly affected the players' performance on the field. He believes that the match is not suitable for evaluating the team, as the performance was at its worst, to the point where it is difficult to find positive points to build on. Ayari rejects the idea that the result reflects the difference between Tunisia and Sweden, considering that the image presented by the match does not reflect the reality of the strength between the two teams. He emphasizes that the Swedish team is not a strong or formidable team as the result may suggest, but rather a respectable team, pointing out that Tunisia was capable of achieving a better result if the technical choices had been correct. He emphasizes that the chances of the two teams were equal before the match at 50/50, before the match was decided by what he described as the poor management of the technical staff, holding coach Moze directly responsible for what happened, and considering that he "ended the team's dreams and took it out of the match since the start". He emphasizes that the Tunisian team suffered from comprehensive problems that did not limit to a specific line, but included all lines without exception. He points out that there were clear mistakes in the lineup and in the positioning inside the field, which made the team look disorganized in front of the opponent. He points out the absence of attacking effectiveness, considering that the team failed to present a respectable attacking image in recent times, in general, compared to other Arab teams. He considers that "Arab teams today play attacking football, except for the Tunisian team", considering that this point reflects a crisis in the team's football thinking more than individual mistakes. He emphasizes that goalkeeper Mehdi Ben Alaya's appearance at this level was expected in the absence of experience, and emphasizes that playing in an opening match in a World Cup requires high experience, which explains in his opinion the image he presented during the match. He believes that what happened should be a real alarm bell for the team and the technical staff, especially in terms of preparation and tactical clarity before participating in a World Cup of this size. He emphasizes that it is not possible to enter the World Cup with preparations described as chaotic, nor is it possible to change the plan between the start of the journey and the first official match. He emphasizes that the coach "has nothing to add", and that the opportunity given to him in the World Cup was not exploited as required. He emphasizes that the lack of a decision after the match is a problem in itself, emphasizing that he would have liked the immediate dismissal of the coach by the Tunisian Union, as the continuation of the situation without a decision, according to his expression, "is a joke" after this heavy result.
