• "It's a difficult loss. It's painful. Starting the competition with this bad of a loss is indeed difficult," Lamouchi told the post-match news conference.
• Lamouchi said Tunisia knew the threat posed by Sweden's forwards but failed to cope with it. "With world-class players that we have in the two Swedish forwards, it's something that you don't recover from."
• He repeatedly pointed to individual errors as the main reason for the heavy defeat. "We made way too many mistakes," he said.
