TUNISIA vs BOTSWANA! It’s crunch time!!!

   

And so Tunisia arrived this morning the 15th of November 2010. The Zebras midfield kingpin Dipsy Selolwane also arrived to complete an injury free full strength Botswana side… s I stated in earlier posts, the game is for Botswana to lose as everything looks well in our favor. A lot of local pundits have been saying that a hot afternoon in Botswana would work well for the national team. Indeed I also pointed out a similar thing earlier. This is not likely to be the case though as weather forecasts show that it is likely to be cloudy and we might even get a bit of rain.
The question is this necessarily a game changer, does it benefit Tunisia more that the hosts or vice versa? In the end this should not really matter as I believe Zebras still hold the advantage, Tunisia is chasing if they go back to Tunisia in second position we have won in short a draw is still fine for us for three main reasons. 1) it is a moral victory; we would still have pole position in the group 2) we would be done with the Strongest team in the group which is improving really fast 3) we would have put them under pressure to win their other games.
You see from now on everytime Malawi and Tunisia (the only teams with a realistic chance of actually going past Botswana) drop points it works in our favor provided we do not lose. Botswana is not likely to lose against the likes of Chad or Togo, not because we are necessarily a better side than them but because Togo is demoralized and Chad just seems to have reached the end of their limit.
So we are not likely to have a hot dry Gaborone afternoon but Tunisia as a force especially at the back is almost non existent..let us face it not since the days of the marauding Hateem Trabelsi at right back and an imposing Jaidi at the back have we seen Tunisia play solidly at the back. Botswana is strong at the back k featuring tall defenders who have been the backbone of a very difficult to break zebras team for a while. Add the abundance of skillful and pacey wingers in Mongala, Mogorosi and the P. Moloi and you see the Tunisians in for a rough afternoon. The experience of Dipsy just behind the strikers and a strong midfield pairing of Nato and Mafoko, or team mates Mafoko and the returning Gabonamong or even Nato-Gabonamong and you have an almost indomitable midfield.
The only strength to be feared in Tunisia remains their set piece prowess, this no team in Africa can defend against as they have shown from time to time, should we starve them of such opportunities, preferably by defending high, then Botswana just might be up for an early Christmas present draw or win!!!

Very beneficial posting. Me & my neighbors have been planning to do a bit of basic research concerning that. We purchased a useful publication on that topic through our nearby library and almost all books are not as descriptive as your information. Im very thankful to see this kind of information which I was looking for a long time.
