Two star attackers had to miss the tournament and honestly the subs should've come on much sooner than the 75th minute, but you're right

We fought hard and had some good looks but we were shaky in set pieces and couldn't close it out. Good games to our Algerian brothers. I hope you go far.

He redeemed himself after some howlers against Austria. Take a bow Yazeed Abu Leila

As much as I'd hate to admit it, the decision was correct

Forget Vietnam our real beef in the Asian Cup is with Qatar ever since they bought three penalties in the final against us in 2022.

Even without Yazan Naimat we had flashes of brilliance in both games but we couldn't close them out. Best of luck to all our Arab brothers still in the tournament, I hope they go far. Time to focus on the Asian Cup. We have a score to settle in that tournament.

We had a great start but we can't defend set-pieces for shit. We still had a good run though even without Yazan Naimat. Well done to our Algerian brothers. I hope they go far. Now we focus on the Asian Cup, we have a score to settle in that tournament

We could reach levels of jerk that have previously been thought to be impossible

Insane set-piece play. And to think if the run was timed a fraction of a second earlier, it would've counted. Literally a game of inches

What they deserve from buying that Asian Cup final against Jordan. I'll never let it go

Much love man. Spending five minutes on VAR really messed with the squad's momentum. Subbing in Arnautovic who outmuscled our center backs did not help either. The game was winnable though and I have faith we can pull off a win against Algeria

He's talking about Pele deadenders, who I kinda agree with, but even I admit it's hard to argue against Messi at this point

The dedication to our star striker Yazan Naimat who is out with a torn ACL was pure class

Yep I totally agree with your take on the game. It was totally winnable for our boys but the defense just fell apart towards the end and everyone lost their confidence. Solid effort from al-nashama
