What on earth? Another good display tonight and he's playing Ligue 1. No one is challenging him.

Suspect at the back when playing out. Heart in mouth nearly every time.

And just for LOLs booted one straight over the sideline tonight

The good thing is I still feel optimistic for my 3 wins from these 3 games (Indonesia, China, Japan). I'm counting my chickens as I speak, having gotten up earlier to put my cart before my horse.

How's that bookmark looking Pasquali

When your team avoiding the wooden spoon counts as an achievement you claim glory wherever you can

Random thought - is it mathematically possible for Saudi to finish 5th or outside the top 4?

Bahrain and/or China would need to win both games, with Saudi losing both.

Of course, mathematical ways with Bahrain and China both winning one and drawing the other, but that also needs a 6 and 11 goal turnaround respectively

Good win by Indonesia, just need Bahrain to win now.

Saudi score... Will Bahrain lie down and concede 4 or 5 ?

 

[grazorblade]

Someone keep us posted on the scenarios with Saudi win , or draw. We need Bahrain to put up a fight

As things stand, the only thing that will stop us from qualifying is a 5+ goal defeat by Saudi next week.

Bahrain will, they are still in the mix for repechage.

Didn't think I'd stay awake for this match. So damn tired but brain still buzzing. I've got another 45 in me, coach.

Saudi's up 1-0. Bahrain have been woeful.

Part of their charm

 

[grazorblade]

Hmm 2nd goal to saudi. Hope they dont score a 3rd

 

[Villa Dan]

How did we loose 2 games to Bahrain puzzling

 

[grazorblade]

Phew chalked off

 

[Villa Dan]

Do Saudi look good ?. They will be a different team next week at home maybe

 

[grazorblade]

Bahrain can score from halfway against us but miss 2 tap ins v saudi...

 

[grazorblade]

Saudi gets a second after a defender is weridly sluggish chasing a player from the half way line

 

[HappyGuus]

If this score stands, Saudi Arabia would need to beat us by at least five goals to take 2nd spot.
