Morocco and Tunisia qualified for the World Cup on Saturday, taking Africa’s last two places. Morocco qualified for the first time since the 1998 World Cup. Tunisia last played at the World Cup in 2006. The failure to reach the World Cup after being ever-present since 2006 will put pressure on coach Marc Wilmots. Had Tunisia lost, the two teams would have finished level on points and goal difference and Congo would have taken the World Cup place for scoring more goals in the qualifying campaign.
