Forward Silva dos Santos, who struck six times during qualifying, including four in a 7-0 triumph over Malawi, is the best finisher. Midfield playmaker Riadh Bouazizi, 32, is known for his take-no-prisoners tackles and often-injured defender Hatem Trabelsi, who performs for Ajax (Netherlands) is a solid player on the backline.
