What if KSA draws with Australia and Thailand wins against Oman? Both teams will be locked 7 points in this scenario.Who will qualify?
Did Nawaf also resigned along with the board of directors of SAFF? But it is 100% confirmed that the board of directors of SAFF has resigned but not only sure of Nawaf.
I can confirm that Nawaf has also resigned as head of SAFF. They are going to have an election soon to appoint a new chief.
I hope the "Royals" don't interfere in these elections and IT WILL BE BEST IF EX-SAUDI PLAYER BECOMES THE HEAD OF SAUDI FA E.G., MAJID ABDULLA OR YOUSEF OR SAMI OR JAWAD, ETC.
When is the election ? Moreover, What's NEXT ??? ... What's the next tournament Saudis should focus to build on now ??? Hope Saudi Re-Build strongest team and Play all possible friendly matches on any date irrespective if its a FIFA date or not !!! This is the right time to focus on Vision to build strongest team from Asia and work towards the Missions of Winning all elite tournaments in Asia + Qualify & Perform Best in the World Cup and similar FIFA tournaments !!!
I am not sure Hammad,but I think Saudi Arabia has two friendly games in the next months, one against Chile and other against Argentina, both Games in Ryad.
I have just read the last few pages to as I'm curious about how Frank is doing as your manager, and it seems that you Saudis are trying to emulate the English FA and team. Your boardroom is apparently in chaos after resignations, Rijkaard appears to be in danger of losing his job according to a few comments, and the domestic clubs are messing about with releasing players for games. It all sounds so familiar to me, though I doubt any of your players are having affairs with each others' wives and getting in drunken fights at 4 am. Oh, and is there any talk of the Saudis following the likes of Qatar and looking to buy a high profile club? If so, they'd be welcome with open arms at my club Blackburn. All they have to do is get rid of the current owners completely,sack the manager and install a competent board room that will be allowed to run the club.
Right now, we have absolutely no information regarding Rijkaard. I hope he stays on though. I've never heard of a problem with clubs releasing players for the NT. That just doesn't happen in Saudi Arabia, it would be a huge scandal if it did.
Has Saudi Arabia played a game with him in charge yet? If for some reason he is not in favour, well I'd welcome him managing my team. I mentioned the players, as there was something on page 15 about a player only being released for a couple of days.
He was incharge of around 8-9 games and managed only 1 official win and 2 unofficial wins. And about the player who was released for couple of days was yasser qahtani as he dont play in saudi league so the club he is playing for followed the fifa rules and released him 5days prior to the match date. And lastly, he wont be interested in coaching your club as he has better offer to coach Chelsea FC.
His first official match was the 3-1 loss to Australia IIRC. Qualification for the AFC Asian Cup 2015 starts soon. Should get ready for that.
Sadly that highlighted bit is very true indeed. The current owners of my club would probably annouce he's coming............and then replace our current manager with an Argentinian chicken farmer called Jose because he is cheap and willing to fly to India to kiss the owners bum. Anyway, I have a suspicion that he may go to Chelsea. A good outside bet if you were into that sort of thing. His Saudi record looks pretty average though.
One Question My Saudi Friends. ANY NEWS ABOUT FRANK RIJKARD, MY PERSONAL OPINION HE IS A GOOD COACH AND NEED MORE OPPORTUNITY IN YOUR TEAM.
Everything is dead silence in the FA now.No news or rumours from anywhere.But mostly Rijkaard will stay as long as the new committe is not headed by crap.
Fuc_ing, As_Hol_s, they should hold the election immediately and get the FA going on War-Footing !!! ... Waiting till June for what ??
The resignation was abrupt and suprising. They have to give time for candidates to come forward and organize their campaigns. You can't just say OKAY NEW FA HEAD VOTE NOW WITH NO INFORMATION WHATSOEVER!
