Tunisia’s emergency coach Herve Renard has called on his team to play with “pride and dignity” in their final World Cup match on Thursday after a disastrous campaign.

The much-travelled Frenchman was parachuted in last week after Sabri Lamouchi was fired following the team’s 5-1 hammering by Sweden in their opening match in Mexico. Tunisia’s collapse has been dramatic after they romped through African qualifying unbeaten, without conceding a single goal.

The Netherlands are unconcerned about potential knockout-stage opponents as they prepare ‌to face already-eliminated Tunisia in their final World Cup Group ⁠F match, with coach Ronald Koeman insisting his side are focused on ‌topping the group.
