Last week witnessed two amazing goals from Saudi clubs. The first was from Al-Ittifaq vs. Al-Ahli
in what we can say as an Olympic league (under 23 years old)
The second goal was from Emad Al-Hosani from Al-Ahli vs. Al-Ansaar
Emad is Oman national team star, and he is famous by his bicycle kicks, watch these ones when he
was playing at Al-Rayyan from Qatar:
and this one with Omani national team vs.

Now I know Australia won last night but Fox Sports continue to suggest this was Thailand's last
chance.
They must win - or get a draw to stay alive was the verdict from Australia's best football
commentator, Simon Hill. Simon is always on the ball, pretty much always correct on this stuff so I
was surprised when he went down this line again and again.
Harry Kewell and Carlos Hernandez have been called up for Australia and Costa Rica respectively,
for matches in November. Australia face Oman on the 11th and Thailand on the 15th in crucial World
Cup Qualifiers. Australia coach Holger Osieck says he knows what Kewell can bring to the team but
that he will need to
Do you remember when we used to make hard work of Oman?
With Harry Kewell, Brett Emerton, Tim Cahill, Vinny Grella all English based in the line-up.
Three times we played them in the last four years - three times we struggled - really
struggled.
This time with a bunch of so-called lesser names, younger boys, we waltz it.
Paddy Bordier, Nick Cumpston and Nick Amies talk Aussie football once again this week, in
particular the A-league (just four days away!!!) the Socceroos' chances against Malaysia and Oman,
the Matildas and Paddy's boxing career; it's all here on the Nearpost.
Nick jr. has been charged with uploading the podcast this week, so feel free to attribute any and
all technical difficulties to him in your hate mail.
ZURICH - FIFA has kicked Myanmar out of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup as punishment for crowd
violence at a 2014 qualifier in July.
Fans threw stones and water bottles onto the field during Myanamar's game against Oman on July 28,
forcing the referee to abandon the match.
Oman was leading 2-0 at the time and was awarded the victory by that score.
Local Aussie journos are wetting themselves over the upcoming Melbourne Victory v Sydney FC clash
and are starting to twitter themselves into a frenzy.
They want Brett Emerton and Harry Kewell to play for their respective clubs rather than for
Australia, in Canberra, against Malaysia.
Of course the Malaysia game is a walk in the park and a friendly at that - but it is four days
before the World Cup clash with Oman.
Could be?
We should beat Oman with or without the star duo - so they could be given a leave pass for the
Malaysia game, given us a blockbuster opener to the A-League and then still join up for the Oman
game.
Socceroos always come first - but for the good of the league - with the World Cup results and the
quality of the squad the way it is, maybe Australia has a Malaysia solution after all.
Indonesia v Bahrain 0-2
Well, that's that then. Indonesia's World Cup ambitions have been shelved for another four years
after this disappointing performance against a Bahrain side who were that yard quicker throughout
the game both with their feet and their brains. Coach Rijsbergen won't have been happy with the way
the goals were conceded.
Perhaps it was that a bad oman that the Star Tribune ran a story yesterday on Apple Valley Boys
Varsity Soccer Team and their attempt to defend their Boys 2A State Soccer Championship. In doing
so Apple Valley were also attempting to keep their consecutive game win streak intact as they went
for number 49.
With the World Cup Qualifiers a month ahead Indonesia are facing the usual old problem. They can't
find opponents! It doesn't matter who runs the game in this country while the rest of the world is
busy arranging its international calender 12 months in advance the FA here struggle to book hotels
for their players and officials.

Three South East Asian teams will be listening carefully to this Saturday's World Cup draw. Their
fate will be decided along with the other 17 remaining countries on the road to Brazil.
Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore will not be drawn against each other, that's for sure. Instead
they will face one from each of the following 'pots'.
The proliferation of foreign players in the Premier League is an often covered subject on radio
phone-ins and blogs like this one. I thought rather than offering the same glib observations on
foreign players in the 'English game' I'd offer some facts on the number of non-English (and
non-British) players who currently ply their trade in the Premier League today (or to be more
specific last season).

The Chinese Football Association has apologised for its Olympic team's early exit from the 2012
London Olympics qualifying rounds. "We are sorry that the Chinese U-23 team missed the opportunity
to claim a berth at the London Olympics after losing to Oman," the CFA said in a newsletter posted
on its official website as quoted by China Daily.

India vs Australia Group B- January 10, 2011- Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium, Doha AFC Asian Cup 2011.
Current score :- India 0-2 Australia ( Tim Cahill 11′, Harry Kewell 25′) You'd be forgiven for
thinking that it must be a cricket match, for that is the sport where you see India vs Australia
the most.
The Middle Eastern country of Qatar is still on a high following its successful bid to host the
2022 FIFA World Cup. This month the oil rich country has the opportunity to showcase itself to the
world and prove that its victory was justified when it hosts the 15th edition of the AFC Asian Cup,
the first time it has held this event since 1988.
