Tunisia vs England Soccer Preview
England and winning the World Cup is already something that’s kind of distant memory. It’s so much that everyone struggles to even remember that they had a victory against Slovenia, 1-0 almost eight years ago at South Africa 2010. Something noticeable is that none of those players was named in the team for Russia. The Three Lions have refreshed and have a new start with a host of young faces in the line-up since Gareth Southgate took over. Only five players have traveled to Brazil four years ago, so now this rejuvenated England team will attempt to end a four-game winless streak against Tunisia.
Far from pushovers the North Africans still have ambitions on their own at the tournament. Tunisia has shown that are tough and well-organized opponents.
Did you know that in 1998 in Marseille on June 15th the opening fixture of Group G was England against Tunisia? The match ended in England’s favor scoring 2-0.
Possible line-ups:
Tunisia: Syam Ben Youssef, Dylan Bronn, Ali Maaloul, Fakhreddine Ben Youssef, Wahbi Khazri, Naim Sliti, Mouez Hassen, Yassine Meriah, Ellyes Skhiri, Anice Badri, Ferjani Sassi.
England: Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Harry Maguire, Jordan Pickford, Kieran Trippier, Dele Alli, Jordan Henderson, Jesse Lingard, Ashley Young.
