Étoile du Sahel 7 (!!!) – 0 CS Hammam-Lif
By: Houssem |Well, that was a nice thrashing. A hat trick by Bukhari, and goals by Abdennour, Gharbi, Opara and Berradhia, which you can enjoy here. As amazing this victory was, it’s completely useless, since the antepenultimate matchday of the Tunisian LP1 saw Espérance and Club Africain win against La Marsa and Stade Tunisien, thus completely removing [...]
Worst Week Ever …
By: Houssem |… as we must settle for another season without any silverware. After losing any chance to threaten Espérance in the league, we got defeated by them in the cup quarter final. I actually didn’t think our game could get any uglier after the CSS game, but they managed to prove me wrong ! No midfield [...]
Espérance vs. Étoile Cup 1/4 Final Preview
By: Houssem |The Cup and Étoile, that’s not exactly a love story. The last time we lifted the Princess – as Tunisians affectionately call it – was in the 1995/96 season, when we won the double with our legendary 90’s team.

By: Houssem |If you ever wondered how a player could almost single-handedly crush his club’s title hopes, last Thursday’s game was probably a good illustration. The obvious culprit is of course Mejdi Ben Mohamed, aka Manga, who was picked to fill Ammar Jemal’s boots. His sloppy attempt at a clearance gave the Sfaxians a 2-0 lead in [...]
ASO Chlef 0 – 0 Étoile (1-2 on agg.) : Heroic !
By: Houssem |Sheesh, that was a stressful one. We progress by the slightest of margins, but I’m not one to check a gift horse’s teeth. Rohr chose the more prudent approach and stacked the midfield with defensive players (Mabrouk, Everson, Nafkha, Tenniche).
Being on the pitch in front of those crazy crowds must have been intense enough, that’s [...]
ASO Chlef – Étoile du Sahel Preview
By: Houssem |Yay, the internationals are over, we can all go on with our club supporter’s lives now. I am thrilled after Tunisia got the most of this first matchday in the Africa Qualifiers, and especially because our very own Ammar Jemal got his name on the score sheet with the goal that gave Tunisia the lead [...]
