Étoile 2 – 1 ASO Chlef
By: Houssem |Pheeew ! I think we avoided the worst last Saturday by scoring two amazing free kicks against a very tenacious ASO Chlef side. I had underestimated them, and they showed a very physical game, stood perfectly well in defence and disrupted our already diminished attack – Ziadi will miss the first part of the competition [...]

Étoile du Sahel v. ASO Chlef Preview
By: Houssem |This weekend will be a break from the league drama we’ve been enjoying lately, with the long awaited return to the only international competition that matters : the CAF Champions League. Étoile will host ASO Chlef, the 6th algerian side to face us in the CL. Our home record against our neighbors shows a 100% [...]
CS Hammam-Lif Kicks It Up A Notch
By: Houssem |It was an exciting matchday for both Étoile and Espérance fans, as the Sang & Or went back on top and Club Africain’s 3-1 defeat against Hammam-Lif allowed us to claim the second spot, only one point behind EST (full table here).
I really wouldn’t have thought we’d still have a three-horse race with only four [...]
Jendouba Sports v. Étoile du Sahel Highlights And Some Ranting
By: Houssem |I finally got my hands on the Hannibal TV highlights. HTV made it their event of the day after Tunis 7 didn’t broadcast the game after initially having it on the program. Apparently, the transmission van didn’t make it to Jendouba. Seriously ? I don’t think it’s suitable for a public TV network that feeds [...]
ES Hammam-Sousse v. Étoile SS Preview
By: Houssem |We’re a few minutes away from kick-off at the Ben Jannet stadium in Monastir, and only a few dozen fans have made it there so far according to Jawhara FM. The blame can of course only be put on the LNFP who made two neighboring teams travel to another town for a normal league game, [...]
Sousse derby moved 20 km away
By: Houssem |Do the people at the LNFP ever know what they’re doing ? Today, they decided to move the upcoming Sousse derby (ES Hammam-Sousse vs. Étoile du Sahel) from Hammam-Sousse’s Lahouar Stadium or Sousse’s Olympic Stadium to … Monastir ! Officially, ESHS wanted the game to be played at our stadium because of the terrible state [...]
Now that’s more like it !
By: Houssem |Pretty exciting month so far, as l’Étoile managed to get 3 consecutive league wins, among which a quite historic one in Monastir, and ensure a spot in the cup’s quarter finals.
The situation in the league :
Espérance seem to be experiencing the slowdown that cost us the title last year, as they only got 2 points [...]
ESS – OB Highlights and Dimanche Sport
By: Houssem |Dimanche Sport’s weekly segment “Virage” visited Sousse this week and interviewed some supporters as well as official spokesman Taoufik Gahbiche and newly appointed “supporter relations manager” Kais Achour. Funny how the players and staff are not allowed to talk to the press anymore. Driss is probably afraid they would say something that would upset the [...]
Étoile 1 – 1 EGS Gafsa, and the headaches won’t stop
By: Houssem |I really thought we would turn things in our favor in this new year. How silly of me, right ? This week saw us drop points on two occasions, away to La Marsa and home to Gafsa. Two fixtures we didn’t even worry about in the old days (2007, the tremendous victory in Cairo, Japan, [...]
