Saudi World Cup 2006 destiny

June 7th, 2006 | By: Shahed | 4 Comments »

With only few days before the game of Saudi Arabia with Tunisia, many are wondering how prepared is the Saudi national team. People speak of possible success, dissatisfaction, complete failure and a disaster. Of all the comments that I hear, many fear that another catastrophe similar to Korea/Japan 2002 is likely to happen.

Let me assure the Saudi lovers and haters, the team is clearly not the same team that lost against Germany 8-0.

It’s a team that:

• has found the perfect players after months of preparations.
• came with the perfect formation and start-ups for the coming World Cup 2006 games.
• is coached by our experienced coach Marcos Paqueta.
• hopes to carry forward the underdog spirit similar to South Korea’s underdog spirit in Korea/Japan 2002.
• went through the most number of friendly games before this World Cup.
• has the Asian 2005 player and defender Hamad Al Montashiri, who wasn’t present in 2002 to protect the Saudi net from Germans.
• fears nothing after winning twice against the fourth place winner of Korea/Japan 2002.
• gained confidence and wiped away the “sudden” anxiety during games against European teams.
• has the best ever mid-fielders the team have ever seen – Shalhoub, Temyat, Noor, Aziz, Kharir, Ghamdi, Ameen
• has the most capped player Al Daeyea, for his success and failure experiences is the most valuable asset for the team
• has players such Saudi Ronaldhino (Anbar), Saudi Maradona (Shalhoub), and Saudi Raul (Al Harthi)

and many more……go ahead and write if you think of a new one.

I have no doubt in my mind they will do lot better (inshaAllah). This time the players are better prepared, played against a lot of different style teams. Players are different, of course, from last time. More players are from Ittehad who are experienced playing against big teams and in high stress. I think the key thing is to keep everthing cool. They just do awesome. I have seen it against England a while back, I think it was before the 98 cup. I have also seen it against Brazil. I don’t know if any of you guys seen those games and remember. It was like we couldn’t believe our eyes. Against the England game, english players were kind of confused like they could believe or expect such performance from the saudis.

Anyway… here is a nice article about what the players are doing.
