Tunsia travelled home very satisfied with what the team had reached. With the fourth place the ambitious North Africans seem to have established themselves among the African elite.
After the clubs had become very successful throughout the 90's in the African club competitions, the national team has now finished runners-up 1996, reached the World Cup 1998 and the fourth place at the Nations Cup 2000. A remarkable success for the smart Tunisian players who play in a good number at home.
Anyway the level of champions Cameroon was clearly too high for them. The semi-final saw the end of the road for the Tunisians.
But how close success and failure are neighboured can be made visible in the following fact:
Had Morocco lost only 1:2 against Nigeria and not 0:2, Tunisia would have had a disappointing Nations Cup instead of this success and probably it would not have been the Moroccan coach to have become fired immediately...
