Apparently this was the World Cup's 1000th ever game and Japan dominated
it from start to finish, matching the Netherlands' goal difference
(though one goal scored short of them) and taking a huge step towards
the Round of 32. Tunisia is in complete disarray, they fired Sabri
Lamouchi after the 1-5 defeat to Sweden in the first matchday and Herve Renard took over in his stead, but could do little to stop this well-
tuned Japanese side. And due to the tiebreaking criteria changes,
Tunisia are yet another team already eliminated at the end of matchday 2 (though of course their -8 GD would hardly be of any help to their cause anyway).
Best regards,

Why did Tunisia sack Lamouchi again?
The team lost by four goals with both Lamouchi and Renard in charge?
Sometimes the issue is the players not the manager?
Yes, you might say "well it was Lamouhci who picked the players" but
once you're at the World Cup you're stuck with the squad you have. May
as well have given Lamouchi three games to see where he could have taken
his squad.
