Haha, soooo true, like

the match is in jordan so 1500 shouldnt be that bad, besides our team play better when theyre under pressure or at our opponents home, perfect example, china away, jordan away, singapore away, china away in 08, australia away in 08 (even though we lost that one, we were the better side by miles, it was a fluky goal).
so lets hope oman and japan draw 0-0 though this is highly unlikely and inshalla osood il rafidayn will rape the jordanians today

[BigDreamer]

1500 wtf ?

that cant be right.. thats too little..

[makaay31]

About 5 percent of the capacity of the stadium is for the away fans, the capacity is about 23000.

[BigDreamer]

oh noes..


there are lots of Iraqis in jordan tho, they can sneak through as home fans

[Chounz]

5%.. ? Is it like that around the world like is it a official rule??

Only 23,000? Amman int. stadium seems like a lot more than that.. I always thought it was 40,000 or something.

[makaay31]

Yeah I hope they will do that... Last game was awesome, a lot Iraqis in the stadium and a big win...

[BigDreamer]

guys, i'm gonna watch it here http://jazeera-sport.net/live-sport/...ifying%5D.html

not sure if it would stream nicely or not.. anyone here knows of other sites just incase..

[makaay31]

Lool Chounz, 40.000? No, only 23.000 if not less

[haiderpass]

so i guess this is our formation for today 4-5-1, pretty disappointing if its true, since its the same one from 08, zico hasnt changed nothing at all.

Last game against Jordan, Mustafa Kareem played instead of Hawar.. I hope that he will start or at least Alaa

[Chounz]

I think it seems like a sorta appropriate formation to me... it's a very tricky game. I think we need to be more defensive, if we were to play 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 Jordan would kill us with their counter-attacks which we completely suck at stopping, even if we were dominating the game they'd probably win after having just a few chances and actually scoring through them...

[haiderpass]

our weekest links are younis, bassim, hawar. problem is we have perfect substitutes for them its just they arnt being given the chance to shine. Younis- we have hamaadi, amjad, mustafa and alaa are all capable of filling that lone striker spot, and they're much fitter than younis.
bassim- we have dhirgham ismail, seriously at 18, he can outplay bassim abass easily, imagine if he were actually given a chance what hed be like.
hawar - mustafa/alaa can fill that position as well as mohammad saad from our olymic team, great dribbling, passing, shooting, though not very good pace, but not slower than hawar nowadays .
seriously some of our players need to RETIRE soon.

actually, i think 4-1-2-1-2 would be a much better formation for us.
at 4-5-1 we always play it safe and just kick long balls and hope for the best.
if we played 4-1-2-1-2, we would be able to defend since 4 defenders + qusay as CDM, nashat would still be a CAM provide passes to our strikers and take the odd shot here and there, and wed have 2strikers, and lets be honest, our defence isnt our weak point nowadays, it our finishing, one striker doesnt cut it nowadays, we NEED more than one striker.
