Sad really...a terrible time for Lebanon because of Uncle Sam's brat going his way.

So it only remains Kuwait, Bahrain and Australia in the group or what?

[persianfire]

FIFA should punish Israel

[Iranyar Rezatank]

hmmm maybe too Paranoid. But Bahrain the evil grassrolers happen to be happy now

[ali22]

Now Kuwait and Bahrain can make a grass rolling connection against Australia.

As a person who has a Lebanese background, this is very sad.

I'm upset about the decision, but it was the right one made by the LFA.

The players cannot be contacted and their minds are clearly not on any football matches. They have their family and friends on their minds.

Given my Australian-Lebanese background (also have Saudi connections too), I was very excited about the AUS v LEB game coming up ever since the draw was made. But this crisis is very serious and preparations would be chaotic.

I don't care, Israel should be banned by FIFA.

Sad but quite right

Though I wouldnt be exactly sure that FIFA or even UEFA will ban the Israeli FA for such mess. You know how much emphasis FIFA does on being "non-political"
