“Firefighter” Hervé Renard failed miserably on his rescue mission to Tunisia. The North Africans deservedly lost 0:4 (0:2) against Japan in the 1000th game in World Cup history and no longer have a chance of making it to the knockout rounds. The Eagles of Carthage separated from coach Sabri Lamouchi after the clear opening defeat against Sweden (1:5) and hoped for a turnaround under Renard.
