    The Yellow Media just gets lower and lower. They launched a bizarre campaign to get him appointed to the NT in the name of "patriotism." After that failed, they've started a new campaign to kick him out of the country to save the "honor" of Prince Sultan!

    Look at this guy. You gotta be happy for him after all he's gone through from guys like me. :D What a fitting way to end the game; this is why I love football.

    I've read that two different reasons why Cosmin didn't join up on stage:

    #1 Some argument with stadium officials about the number of players allowed to celebrate with the trophy.

    #2 He was exhausted or sick or something and had to go to the dressing room for a breather.

    I think around 77 minutes the game started getting better but not a classic.

    While it may open up the field for Hilal's midfielders and 3 DMs might stifle them, you can't keep them out for 90 minutes and they have good set pieces skills. Attacking might also force Al-Hilal on the back foot. As they say, if the ball is in your opponent's half they can't score. (Does not apply to Clarence Seedorf)
