Tunisia jets in

The Tunisians, whose flight was delayed by more than an hour, arrived to an empty terminal at 5:24pm, without a doubt, a sharp contrast to what awaits them when they emerge from the UB Stadium dug-out tomorrow at 3pm. A sell-out crowd is expected to cheer the home side, which is on the verge of making history by qualifying for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations finals.

The North Africans, evidently brimming with confidence arrived with a bloated delegation of 45 members which include 21 players and Tunisian media personnel.
