Match Preview
Tunisia meet Japan at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey in a Group F clash between sides chasing every point. Japan, under Hajime Moriyasu, bring a European-based core (Kubo, Mitoma, Endō) and the discipline that has long been their hallmark — but they'll need to break Tunisia's low block built around Hannibal Mejbri and the experience of Sabri Lamouchi. Both teams are looking up at the Netherlands and know a loss here likely ends knockout hopes.
