North African Derby
It might not be the best quality, or the most important match of this years World Cup, but there is sure ot be a lot of emotion surrounding the match between Egypt and Tunisia. Egypt won in 5 the last time they met, and although it is unlikely this match will have an influence on Beijing qualification, its going to be a big one.
There is no doubt Egypt hold the edge at the moment, having defeated Tunisia in an epic five-set final to defend their African Nations Championship crown at Durban, South Africa, last month. Tunisia won the first two sets before the Pharaohs stormed back to take the next three, the total points finishing all square at 105-105 in a grueling slugfest that was regarded as the best match at this level for five years.
