The Tunisia national football team suffered a heavy defeat against Japan with a score of 4-0 in the 2026 World Cup. The famous Tunisian commentator Issam Chawali made sad statements during his commentary on the match, after the Carthage Eagles continued their collapse and received the second goal in the 31st minute of the match. The Japanese team strengthened their lead to 2-0 through striker Ayase Ueda, who launched a powerful shot from outside the penalty area that settled in the left corner of Aymen Dahmen's goal. The Japanese team added two more goals in the second half to make the score 4-0. Chawali could not control his emotions with the deterioration of the Tunisian team's performance, saying during the live broadcast: I wish we hadn't qualified for the World Cup. He added: Our players were exposed in the World Cup, and the friendly match against Belgium that we lost with a clean five goals before the tournament caused the collapse of the players' confidence. The Tunisian commentator continued his harsh criticism, saying: We are witnessing a football scandal in the World Cup, the history of Tunisian football is being tampered with. The Tunisian Football Federation had sacked coach Sabri Lamouchi after the heavy defeat against Sweden with a score of 5-1 in the opening round, before urgently signing with Frenchman Hervé Renard in the hope of saving the team's campaign in the tournament. Chawali confirmed that the team's poor performance is due to the collapse of the players' confidence, pointing out that the friendly match against Belgium that the team lost with a clean five goals before the tournament caused this collapse. Chawali demanded an improvement in performance and cooperation between players to get out of this crisis. In the same context, Hervé Renard confirmed that the team will work to improve its performance in the upcoming matches, pointing out that the defeat against Japan was a tough defeat, but the team will benefit from it to improve its performance.
