So, Korea is even with Saudis, Iran, and then Maldives? LOL. We will fix that on 11/17. Then, Korea has losing record against Kuwait. This is not a one game fluke a la Turkeministan vs Korea. Korea and Kuwait played each other numerous matches.
Nope. Someone already said it here that Korea and Saudis are even. But if you don't believe that, you can easily find this out from FIFA.com.
Actually India beat Kuwait 3-2 away in Kuwait City just on friday. This is a very good result for India but also bad news for Kuwait because India had many top players injured and are ranked 132 in the world and Kuwait have to play Malaysia soon. This is the report: http://www.footballasia.com/en/regional/Central/index.asp?id=37374&mth=11&yr=2004&cc=IND
LOL, thats very weird. Whats next? Iran losing to Laos, or China losing to Hong Kong, or Korea losing to Maldives, or Saudi Arabia losing to Sri Lanka?!
Its very impressive to see the second smallest country make a rivalry with such a powerhouse of Asia like Iran. Unfortunately Bahrain could never dream of a rivalry with Saudi Arabia, as it never beaten us in the last 5 games or more! Kuwait's rivalry with Saudi Arabia is more mentally than physically.
what rivalry between bahrain and iran, cause they beat us once in 2002 means its a rivalry we kcied thier ass in asian cup, annd i dont consider bahrain weak at ALL to start with i know saudi's rival is probably kuwait or iraq
On fifa, you are both tied at 2 wins for each, and 2 draws with Iran ahead on goals difference by 2. Thats pretty close to me. I dont think Saudi Arabia really has a rival, somehow we always are unlucky against Japan, Kuwait could be becuz of the mentality of the players before the game.
ya, bout kuwait its always mentality, with iraq its sort of tied i saw you own bahrain lol and between us its real dam close Country GP W D L GF GA GD Iran 10 4 3 3 16 9 7 Saudi Arabia 10 3 3 4 9 16 -7
and also the 2-2 with bahrain is since 1985, its too bad fifa doesnt keep its records too long. we actually have 2 more wins but from what i saw on fifa, saudi owns all the arab "gulf" teams. from now until the future god knows check this to see our real records against teams, inclduing bahrain (were actually 4-2) http://www.teammelli.com/Stats/Complete matches table.htm thx
Yeah its not that far, all the other gulf countries are very easy to beat, even Kuwait, we are ahead by 3 wins. I think we are confident when we play teams we know well, but other teams like Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan we dont play that well probably becuz of confidence.
Confidence may be an issue, however Uzbekistan is a strong team, no matter how confidant you are. The old days of weak and strong teams have come to an end. These days, everyone has improved and thus the difference in the level of play is much smaller than what it used to be. No team can be brushed aside anymore, everyone is a true contender.
Still, we could have played better, not win, but have played better. The rest of what you said is pretty much true. Also Uzbekistan plays different from most Asian teams, where each player does EXACTLY what the coach tells him, while other Asian teams usually dont.
ss2006 for an irani u know alot about saudi and gulf football, maybe as much as i know about iran football. its cool to see 1 iranian who doesnt talk about only 'grassrolling' and cheating kee up the good work man, u are istighlal fan right? i like pirouzi more but i hear they are sucking nutz this season
