Yesterday, At the King Fahad Stadium in Riyadh, in front of 35 thousand fans (impressive for a game held 900 km away and confirmed at short notice) Ittihad won the Saudi championship. 3-2 the final score. Confirming a season's effort, it was just rewards. Wasn't the best game ever, but it was entertaining. 3 of the goals were soft goals, one a disputed penalty (ahli's first goal) and the last a deflected shot. But no sympathy for Ahli, they couldn't beat a team stuttering on the run in, and they went about it in an ugly, physical and dirty way; They had Ibraheem Suwayyed sent off for punching Noor (who was lying on the ground), and Abdulghani should've joined him. But after a traumatic season, the nerves have been finally settled, and we're now ready for the bigger challenges next year brings. So watch out... Asian champions league, here we come. Gulf champions cup, here we come. Arab champions league, here we come (not sure who plays). The tigers are coming.
As far as I know, Al-Itihad decided not to participate in the Arab club championship and were replaced with an Iraqi team.
babylon lions, I really don't know. As with most arabic tournaments: "a-6assa '9ay3a" . You hear something different everyday.
Translation1: The Water mug is lost Translation2: The hub cap is lost I cant come up with an exact meaning in english to what HiJazzey actually ment.. , but The jeneral feal is that things are out of control in Arab Cup competetions...
I Agree...they make the rules as they go The latest that I read is Al-Shurta (police club) is to represent Iraq as well as Al-Ahli and Al-Itifaq of KSA.
