Jaycee John Akwani, the first Bahrani player in Europe has so far scored 2 goals in 5 apps for Mouscron in the Belgian 1st division league.
isn't he a naturalised nigerian or am i thinking of another player? is any1 here going to watch the afc cup semis between muharaaq and al nadha? it seems like muharaaq has a very strong team this year?
Muharaaq always seem to be strong, so im expecting them to win it this year to be honest. They are playign Al Nahda today who they have already beaten 2-0 in the Gulf Club Championship this year, but i won't be able to see any of the action!

At the top end, Busaiteen have taken advantage of Al Muharraq's lack of matches and won all 5 games so far compared to Muharraq's 1 game due to AFC Cup games. Other teams that have collected maximum points so far are Al Ahli and Al Shabab.
