Saudi World Cup Squad

May 15th, 2006 | By: Shahed | 9 Comments »

Paqueta did mention before the announcement of the world cup squad, that he wouldn’t kick anyone out from the friendly squad, except the injured Osama Al Muwalid. As I just woke up, I just saw the world cup squad and there were no new surprises but with the replacement of Osama Al Muwalid with Nayef al Kahdi and also the replacement of Mustafa Maleka with Muhammad Khouja.

Here’s the players:

Goalkeepers: Mohammad al-Deayea (Al-Hilal), Mohammad Khouja (Al-Shabab), Mabrouk Zayed (Al-Ittihad)

Defenders: Ahmed al-Bahri (Al-Ittifak), Ahmad al-Doukhi (Al-Ittihad), Hussein Abdul Ghani (Al-Ahli), Nayef al-Kahdi (Al-Ahli), Abdul Aziz al-Khathran (Al-Hilal), Mohammad Masaad (Al-Ahli), Hamad al-Montashari (Al-Ittihad), Redha Takar (Al-Ittihad)

Midfielders: Mohammad Amin (Al-Ittihad), Khaled Aziz (Al-Hilal), Omar al-Ghamdi (Al-Hilal), Saoud Kariri (Al-Ittihad), Mohammad Nour (Al-Ittihad), Mohammad al-Shalboub (Al-Hilal), Nawaf al-Temyat (Al-Hilal)

Forwards: Mohammad al-Anbar (Al-Hilal), Saad al-Harthi (Al-Nasr), Sami al-Jaber (Al-Hilal), Malek Maath (Al-Ahli), Yasser al-Qahtani (Al-Hilal)

Hmmm….. no Haider! But , Paqueta should to keep Mabrouk Zaid the goal keeper! Daeya is old and does’t have much skills…

There are two players that are present just because they are the “spirit” of the team: Mohammad al Deayea and Sami Jaber.

Haider? you probably mean Mohammad Amin Haider..he is in the squad.

I feel we have a good mix of players from different clubs.

Al Hilal - 10
Al Ahli - 4
Al Ittihad - 7
Al Ittefak - 1
Al Shabab - 1

Do you think Daeya is really a problem? Remember Dino Zoff won the WC with Italy in the age of 40!

Maybe some expierience in the defense is not the worst thing, don´t you think?

As I was not able to see any match since the Portugal loss I cannot have an own opinion. Maybe you could help me at this point.

Nevertheless it has to make no difference who is on the field during the matches. You (we) have to support those guys and I believe Paqueta knows what he´s doing.

Another question from germany: How much do you have to pay for Saudi jerseys in Saudi Arabia? I hav been to the Puma outlet store and bought two jerseys for 50 € each, which is about 60 USD and much cheaper as if I bought them in common sport stores.
Can you tell me about the prices in Saudi Arabia?

Greetings from Germany

Harmony! The most important thing for the Saudi team to play in harmony showing the team spirit. It is Coach Paqueta job to instil this feeling among the team members. Saudis should also learn to play under pressure, which would be their great strength. This time while playing in Germany would offer some hostile environment becsause of ongoing hate campaign against Saudis, whom the Western media and public portray as terrorists. They should overcome this and play a normal game.

Dayea is a bit older now, but I am a fan of his. He was really something in his younger days.
