Ok here's my prefered starting line up for this encounter: Waleed Abdullah Abdullah Zori Osamah Hawsawi Kamel Mousa Hassan Muaz Saud Kariri Tayseer Jasem Ahmed Fraidy Mohammad Al Shalhoub Naif Hazzazi or Nasser Al Shamrani Yasser Qahtani
I'm Saudi, but somehow I want Saudi Arabia to loss against Australia. Football in Saudi Arabia needs disaster to wake up. There are no football academies, no real professional league/clubs, no decent stadium. All the money thrown in football here in Saudi are WASTED money. Not profitable and yet no sport successes. Remember when we beat Thailand? There was a huge celebration like if we win the Asian cup. Well, that's tells you about the whole situation. A win tomorrow is not good for the Saudi Arabian football future. I know my people, they will be overjoyed and will stop working (If we believe that they are really working for the football in KSA, not their benefits). Our football is so ridiculous, Unfortunately.
You mean 2011, 2004 Asian Cups and pretty much every world cup exit wasn't enough? If we fail to beat Australia this is what will change:
It sucks to have talent only to be wasted because of some deluded prince. Seriously, the main problem would never be fixed..The only hope is to end up with some freakishly talented players and hope they do something despite the obstacles..
The probable starting line-up as shown on TV Waleed Abdullah Hassan Muaz Abdullah Zori Hawsawi K. Mousa A Autef S. Karirii Shalhoub Tayseer Salem Dawsari Nasser Shamrani.
Pathetic play from Zori,Kamel and Saud Kariri.If not done we are going to lose in any cost. Anyways 2-1 up in half-time.
******** YOU all the Saudi players plus the coach plus the FA.The result was my certain illusion as sooon as the second half started.The players were just not clicking anytime and completly hopeless.Kamel Mousa,Saud Kariri and Abdullah Zori have no business to play football.I dont know why Rijkaard choosed Muwallad over Mousa when he know the team needs a strong body to defend heavy aussie players unlike the crab Kamel Mousa.Again the routine starts all over again with firing of coach, getting a new and the new shit will check on the players and the list goes on.. Seriously you guys wanted Sultan to be sacked but Nawaf is also not to outstanding but he is ultra worse.At least in Sultan era the team used to play something or the other.But anyways this is not going to matter at all. This is worst ever set back then ever KSA football have ever seen in there history.
Full time australia 4 vs saudi arabia 2 oman 2 vs thailand 0 I feel so sorry by my saudi friends but the big problem in saudi football is the Saudi federation.
saudi's problem is that they cave in the min things stop going their ways. And this has been the same for more than a decade. They need to hold their composure.
No, I think the Saudi problem is the Saudi Federation, because the Saudi Federation introduce a new coach every year, and this is not good.
Tough luck Saudi Arabia. But lets face it, did you really expect this Saudi team to go anywhere in the next round?
tough luck guys but did you really expect anything else? Hopefully this will help to create some major changes in your federation
You're all correct. We're never going to get anywhere while we have backwards management and players with weak mentality and work ethic. Congratulations to Oman.
Tough times for Saudi football, miserably failed in the Asian Cup, failed to qualify to London Olympics, failed to qualify to World Cup (in round 3 this time) and no idea Or Vision shown by the Saudi (Including Saudi Federation) where they want to be in next 5 to 6 years ???? Really, this is what happens when you fail to collect maximum i.e., all points in home games... Saudi only got 4 points out of 12 in home games ???? Saudi only gained 2 points out of 12 in Away games .... The lost against Australia in home game and no win against Oman in home game did the damage ... Congratulations to Oman. However, now I will support firstly "Iran", then South Korea, Japan & then "Uzbekistan" to qualify to the world cup. I would prefer if Australia goes into the continental play-off and then qualify. And ya, I wish South Korea, Iran and Australia lock in the same group. While Uzbekistan, Japan & Iraq end up in the 2nd group. However, Iran should be very carefull as Iran has a nab of losing precisious point at home games as well.
The rivalry and shit-talking aside, tough luck guys and I feel your pain. Like many other Iranians, I have no love for the Saudi team and seeing you get eliminated overjoyed me for a few moments at least. But deep down, I wanted you guys in the next round and was looking forward to having you in our group. Hopefully, you will recover from this soon, and regain your reputation as a traditional Asian powerhouse in football. I want Iran to play and beat you guys when you are at your best.
Yeah I agree. I admit that I felt very happy about Saudi's early ousting and I have never liked your team, because of the old traditional rivalry. But I dont really have a strong urge to put salt in the wound, and cant help but to feel a little sorry for the fans. Guess Im a softie hehe In my opinion this is the best thing for Saudi Arabia: The next world cup is not around for another 6 years, and next WCQ is also 3-4 years away. Not to mention Asia Cup 2015, which obviously is not soon. So its really about time to start thinking long term. There should be a process of gradually but relatively fast to phase out older players. And start incorporating your best Olympic players into the senior team. And keep some of the players in the current squad that are worthy. Obviously the team here does not cut it at all. Participate in every regional tournament possible. Accepting WAFF invitation for once, would not be such a bad idea. What do you have to loose now? Its all about rebuilding at this stage. As long as you hire a top professional coach and STICK with him, even if he does not get immediate results. If Rijkaard wants to continue, then its not such a bad idea. If anything he improved the Saudi team from the more dreadful one back in AC 2011, in relatively short period of time. Hire a coach for your Olympic NT that is of the same nationality as the senior team coach, so they can coordinate good together. Good luck.
Really, very nice & excellent suggestions but the final thing: "Who would put this into the Head of Saud FA ???"... I hope Rikkard is kept for Team Building, Really Saudi should stop playing useless local tournaments and play as much as friendly games as possible... How do you believe South Korea & Japan developed their teams ? ... They developed by playing as much as friendly matches as possible !!! Remember South Korea lost 5-0 to Netherlands in WC1998 and then what happened ?? ... After the world cup 1998 till 2002, South Korea made sure that they play all the possible game i.e., from friendly matches to local and even small tournaments and then we saw what they achieved i.e., Semi-Finalist in World Cup 2002 !!! ... Now this is achievment and this is what Saudi FA should do i.e., play as much as possible taking each game seriously, reduce the useless local tournaments to 2 only and play as much as friendly matches as possible... Moreover, Saudi FA should also look to see that Saudi Players Abroad say in Australian League, Japanese League, South Korean League ... THIS WILL REALLY HELP IN GETTING PROFESSIONAL APPROACH IN THE PLAYERS ....
All these players don't have the stamina to compete internationally. Skills and talent they got plenty, but they can't play high quality games for 90 minutes, and you can easily see that in this game. They can beat Australia away, but stamina in the end usually fails them. I didn't see the game just the goals, but this is how they play in the Saudi league, and until they improve their stamina then Saudi arabia is not going achieve anything till you probably die lol. Besides this generations diet sucks, Im not suprised they conceded 3 goals in 4 minutes with 15 minutes left. Oh well at least we defeated Iran in Azadi. We shouldn't be facing them any time soon.
A change in Saudi FA? Tbh, When the fat prince resigned it was all for show. So long as Saudi Football is controlled by lazy, dumbass, wannabe coaches Princeses Nothing will Change.Srsly...You probably would be doing a better job than them srs.. Does anyone in Saudi arabia have the balls to point out the real problem? I doubt it...
