The golden boy of UAE Omar Abdulrahman has gone missing. Can't believe people compared him to Karimi

[Roozbeh-G2006]

Basically I wouldn't disrespect any team. Never underestimate these Persian Gulf Sheikhdoms as they have money lots of it and spend a lot on their football teams. They no doubt have a lot of favourable conditions advantage over us. But we will overcome and prevail.

The other point here is that Arab teams suddenly turn into elite euro teams when they face TM. Their players drink some Asterix potion and become Messi/Ronaldo only for TM matches.

Arogh has released their squad for qualifiers it looks like.

I suggest you watch Iran - UAE game from AC 2015. He was carving open defenses like a hot knife on butter. I think after his transfer and to the Saudi Pro League and his injury and subsequent lack of games totally changed him. Had he not chased the money in his prime years, he'd be an icon in Asian football just like Ali Karimi.

Hence he has gone missing.

Bahrain-Ukraine on May 23rd is going to be at 6AM EST.

Will post link if available at that time.

Match is today, 2PM EST. I think match is only against domestic Ukraine players, I expect Bahrain to win this. I will try to post links after Premier League finishes.

It seems ESPN 3 will broadcast match in U.S.

Bahrains whole squad is made of domestic players, with the exception of a player in the kuwaiti league. Ukraine are favorites IMO, but it will be interesting to see where Bahrain stand atm.

[Ghermez Agha]

Would be very surprised if Bahrain can keep up with Ukraine. The vast majority of their TM is Ukraine based anyway.....should be a 2-3 goal win for Ukraine.

[rdwrrr]

They like to lubricate their goalie so it wouldn't hurt so much playing Iran
