Tunisia v Belgium

Monday 10th June 2002 10.00 BST, Oita



Tunisia 1 Belgium 1
Bouzaiene 17; Wilmots 13

Bouzeiene's unstoppable free-kick hits the back of the net

I didn't see all of this game, as had other things to attend to - but, it most certainly was a more entertaining match than had anticipated. Tunisia deserved to win it; their style of play and ambition was far outstanding to the Belgians'. I have nothing against you Belgium - except that your insistence on playing with big boys is just not my cup of tea.

Another interesting group; all the teams can still go through.
