Okay, here's what's been having me down these few past days.

In these 3 minutes I experienced frustration, utter jubilation and crippling despair. All in that order.

So many things to ask/say...

* Where was the defending on the go-ahead goal for Saudi Arabia? They gave up.

* At the 92 minute mark, why the hell didn't that striker put a shot on goal? You mean to tell me international strikers don't know how to shoot left-footed?

* That run by #14 that led to the last corner... offsides?

* WHY was no one on the far post on the corner!? They had four white shirts in the area, and none of them could get a head on the ball, which left the goalkeeper - who should have organized better - wrong footed on the header.

#1 They thought they clinched it. They underestimated Bahrain's resolve.

#2 I don't blame Malek Ma'az (number 9 striker). He's pretty good BUT he's been out for over 7 months with a serious injury and he just came back a week ago and played a grand total of...1 League game and suddenly the bozos at the NT think he's fit enough to play. BTW, that second player who knocked the ball too far is the right back,not a striker and he's pretty young, like 21 or 22 so I'll cut him some slack.

#3 No, he's onside. The CB near the D put him onside.

#4 Saudi Arabia are traditionally weak against Set pieces. You see that player in the back who was closest to the far post? He's the left back and it's his job but one problem: He's the captain and well past his prime (34 years old) and the Goalkeeper is young and new (24 years old) so I don't think he could order him around.

The goalkeeper is great though. I rate him as in the top 3 Asian goalkeepers and during the first leg he was a hero and goal.com agrees:Reply

What game is this? Why aren't the picking the ball up and throwing it into the net? Why did that one guy miss four--count them, four--perfect opportunities to throw a left hook at that guy in red?

Seriously though, what's the deal with the music? It's distracting and it doesn't match. :(

the music isnt in the original video! the embedding mixed the audio with another clip!

it works fine now.

OH MAN SOCCER. I LOVED SOCCER AS A KID. ♥ Why did I ever stop watching?

Oh, right, 'cause nobody watches Saudi Channel 2 after Tash Ma Tash moved to MBC.

But, I always called it football. Makes more sense. < <

I love how over-the-top the announcer guys are in these things.

This guy's accent is really, really heavy though. xD;;;

[burning_phoneix]

huh? Tash ma Tash was on Saudi Channel 1! 0_o

And Baynee wa Baynaak was well watched after Tash Ma Tash went to MBC.

I stopped watching Saudi Channel 2 after the Crystal Maze stopped airing back during....the late 90's I think? XD

xDDD See how long it's been for me? I'm mixing them up! I never watched channel one otherwise, anyway. Channel 2 had more English.

But it's on MBC now too. xD

xD;;; I stopped watching somewhere in the late nineties too.

I didn't know you had a blog. It's strange how I seem to run into you all over the internet.
