Japan midfielder Hiroaki Morishima has warned his
team-mates against underestimating Tunisia or risk ending up with egg on their
faces.
Japan go into Friday's match in Osaka needing just a point from their game
against Group H's bottom side to guarantee a place in the second round.
But it is all to play for as any of the four sides in the group can still
qualify with the right results.
And Morishima is aware that even though Tunisia have only claimed one point
from their opening two games, the north Africans can still pose a major threat
to the co-hosts' hopes.
He said in L'Equipe: "Many of the Tunisian players are very technically
gifted. Because of this, it is going to be up to us to work hard and prevent
them from developing their play."
Tunisia coach Ammar Souayah added: "We will be going out in tomorrow's game
as true underdogs against Japan on their home turf and in front of their own
fans. They are a very good team and it is going to be very difficult."
