2006 FIFA Club World Cup

[Pharaoh]

So close. Who would have thought it was the Brazilian champs that would need an offside goal and a deflection off the post to beat a club from the Mideast? I've never heard so much praise for Egyptian football on American television. I've been enjoying it despite the heart-breaking loss. And at least the Brazilian coach admitted Ahly were unlucky not to win.. "Our opponents hit the post and their equalising goal came out of the blue. Maybe fortune favoured us today."

Match stats from FIFA.com:

SHOTS ON GOAL: Ahly (EGYPT) 4:5 Internacional (BRAZIL)

FOULS COMMITTED: Ahly (EGYPT) 12:17 Internacional (BRAZIL)

CORNER KICKS: Ahly (EGYPT) 4:5 Internacional (BRAZIL)

CAUTIONS: Ahly (EGYPT) 2:2 Internacional (BRAZIL)

BALL POSSESSION: Ahly (EGYPT) 51%:49% Internacional (BRAZIL)

lol ur odd dude

I watched Ahly - Inter live. I think Ahly played pretty well, but Inter controled the game somewhat more. I liked Ahly's goal, beautiful header.


Good luck to them.

Btw, did anyone see that scene from the Brazilian player (I think the one that got injured, with the yellow football shoes) where he kept the ball bouncing on his shoulder and ran with it? He seems to be a great talent, how old is he?

My view may be a little biased but I feel after the first 20 minutes or so, the game was pretty much Ahly's, surprisingly. That Pato kid is a terror. Tall, strong, fast, technically gifted. I do think he played for himself a bit though. He'll learn that that's the quickest way to earn a spot on the bench.

Jeonbuk Motors beat Auckland City FC 3-0 to claim 5th spot while Auckland City finish last. Sunday morning is the 3rd place game between Ahly and America (Mexico), followed a few hours later by the final between Inter and Barca.

Congratz to Inter
well played!

[Pharaoh]

Congrats to Abo Treika and all Ahly fans, which certain extend beyond Egypt. Ahly with the most goals, Abo Treika with the golden boot as Pali mentioned. Treika won't be playing in Egypt much longer I'd imagine. 2006 has been pretty good for Egyptian football. The only major blemish of course being the dogfight in Group 3 of World Cup qualifying which saw Egypt, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast beat the crap out of each other and Ivory Coast emerging group winners. Revenge was gained in the Nations Cup final though .

Congrats to Inter. Barca definitely played better, but goals are what count. This game was very similar to last year's final.

Good question. All I know is the Egyptian Ahly is the original, and has been around 100 years. Longer than Saudi has even been a country pretty much .
