They next play on Saturday against Tunisia, who drew 0-0 with Denmark, and Kadri said he had spotted weaknesses in Graham Arnold's Australia team."I analysed the match, not only this match but all other matches.

We've seen unexpected results, strange results. We were surprised by the performance but not too surprised that France won, they are the title holders," Kadri said on Friday."We know the smallest detail of the performances of the Australian team because we have analysed all of their previous matches, this is why we were not surprised by the score but we know they excelled in their stamina and fitness."They have players who are able to run fast, who can ensure a good exploitation of opportunities.

Nevertheless, they have weaknesses we can hopefully exploit."Tunisia's Ellyes Skhiri knows all about running, with the 27-year-old midfielder known for his stamina and endurance."I do run a great deal, running is one of my strengths, I hope I can do that tomorrow," he said."That's part of being a footballer, doing that time and time again.
