Official Syrian Football Thread [R]

So what needs to happen for us to qualify?

 

dame, that sucks.

 

Wow! We have an article about us in goal.com... what an honour

Good luck this evening guys, I won't be able to watch the match as it kicks off the same time as Iraq but all the best!

Yallah ya Sooria!

 

Yes, but from Iraq

 

both Iraq and Syria are out from WCQ, we just needed one goal to make it true

 

^ you guys needed a goal, we only needed some light in the stadium!

 

lol...what was it dark in the field?

 

yea it was, I'm sure they could afford better lights.

 

Syrian team is unlucky as you encountered Iranian and Kuwaiti in their best

performation. You are obviously better than UAE. But you are eliminated. This

is football !!

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they did it intentionally. Nothing new for UAE and Qatar.

Good luck to Syria, they played well and deserved it a lot more than UAE, too bad we scored a second goal to you guys in injury time..

 

We have a new syrian here!

it is syriabest.

Welcome bro Firas.

 

Todays results:

Al Majd 2-1 Al Wahda
Al Shorta 1-0 Al Nawaeir
Efrin 0-1 Al Karama

That leaves the top half standings at:

1. Al Karama PTS 63
2. Al Majd 51
3. Al Ittihad 50
4. Al Taliya 43

Al Karama have booked the AFC Champions League Qualifying spot where they could come up against Al Gharafa of Qatar, Kurvachi or Pakaktor of Uzbekistan and at a gamble, the AFC 2008 winners/runners up which could be Al Muharraq of Bahrain, Al Nahda of Oman or Safa of Lebanon.

Although a long way away, how do you think Al Karama will fair against these teams they could face?

 

Great bro,but Al-Ittihad has got 51 points,but doesn´t matter.

That´s a long way,right!But we are in Quarterfinals of Champions League now,so I think we have a good chance!

Coach Mohammed Kwid quitted his job,www.syrian-soccer.com, says.Wikipedia says Telam Üzum ,the man from Turkey,is our new coach.

 

I've just been looking at the final standings for the Syrian Premier League.

It seems the league has two tiers, or possibly even three.

Look at this:

Al Karama - run away winners - possibly in a tier of there own at the moment

and then break the league down, we have places 2 to 6 with the following clubs:

• Al Majd
• Al Ittihad
• Al Taliya
• Al Jaish
• Al Futowa

After these 5 clubs, we have a huge gap down to the second tier of the league.

It would seem to an outsider, like myself, that the league looks like two leagues in one. We have the top half finishers who probably constantly finish in the top half, and the lower league boys who are always fighting for survival.

There's just such a huge berth.

Would it be more radical if the FA created the league and split it into two after so many rounds, like moving the top 6 after the 26 game round, into a group of their own to fight for the championship?

It just seems, like the winners, in this instance, Al Karama, don't have to take their foot of the peddle. They can easily overcome the majorty of teams, whereas, if they got moved into a championship pool at the end of the season, there would be more pressure, and more intense games, thus giving the fans more end of season excitment, and giving the best clubs better opposition.

The same could be done for the lower half of the season, for example, again Al Horriya who cam bottom could playe another 6 to 8 games against teams at there same level and put up an end of season fight rather than trying in vain against Al Ittihad or Al Karama and losing the game that 9 times out of 10 they have lost before they start.

What do you guys think who follow the league more closly than myself?

 

Whats happening with your national team? Seem's they are in a bit of turmoil and the coach quitting, being replaced oneday, then back the next, now finally gone.

Rumors also that they will pull out of WAFF Championship, whats happening to Syria??

 

I don't know it's like the end of the world that we missed the final round of the WCQ ,it has been a mess since then.

Yes according to syrian-soccer.com our FA will send a letter on Saturday to apologize for the WAFF.
I think it's because Kwid resigned.
