Tunisia coach Herve Renard said his team’s 4-0 defeat to Japan at the World Cup in Monterrey on Saturday was painful but reflected the Asian side’s dominance. Tunisia’s second straight defeat in Group F eliminated them from the tournament.
“It’s not the performance we were hoping for… The scoreline of this second match is tough, but it reflects the difference between the two teams tonight,” Renard said.

«Even if we are eliminated, we still have a third match to play. We are in a World Cup and we have to stay focused. It is important to get ready to fight for this third match against the Netherlands.»
“It’s never easy after two defeats in two games, but we have to take our responsibilities to be professionals until the end.”
