our D-line often pushes up the field bit much in order to further crowd the opponents in our half of the pitch and force an early dispossession, so its Vital for our keepers to be on their toes and ready to exit their line in order to grab any through-balls served to the big space behind our D-line ..!
also Sosha's club experience with playing often in somewhat similar wet conditions, probably had some to do with his choice to guard our goal in that game too..!?
I just feel like too many of you guys are just pissed and worked-up about the kiri conditions and all the hashieh surrounding that game, the Arab ref, the disputed offside goal and your presumptuous ideas that Syrians are the weakest team in this group and a total pushover, to look that game in an overall objective manner..!!?
regardless of the certainty that the game shoulda never taken place in such horrible playing conditions, The Bigger Fact remains that THE PITCH WAS THE SAME FOR BOTH SIDE..!!
and regardless of their occasional embarrassing grass-rolling antics, they played us quiet tough and we hardly threatened to score on them anymore than they did on us..!!
i dont think it would hurt for us to go back and watch that game again to better judge our players performances, especially in these lull times when there isnt too much else to watch..!!
IMO, the only game that was there for taking and we shoulda Won by all accounts and didnt due to complacency was the China game..! now that was a huge waste of 2 points which yet may come back to hunt us, especially if they get their shitt together as a team under the new coach and again manage to take points away from us at azadi..!
