and let SA go through to lose against Germany 8-0
Oh and about that...true that 2002 was a disaster for us, we Saudis all know the reasons behind it...but unfortunatly cant do anything about it...but since you brought it up and wanna talk numbers then please lets!!
I don't remember Iran ever passing the first round. I wish they do, after all its all for the good of Asian football. On the other hand SA qualified to the second round in their first appearance in 94, only to be beaten by sweden 3-1. Not only did they qualify but they amazed football fans around the world and particulary Saeed Al-Owairan, where he scored an amazing goal against Belgium with a run from the middle of the saudi field...I am sure lots of members remember that goal!!
And please dont let me get into the Asian Cup, cuz I dont remember Iran winning it in my time walking on God's earth!! while we won it 3 times...and i am only 23 years old!
You are Iranian and I am Saudi, we both know that IranXSA matches are the derbies of west asia...and I am sure that you fear and respect us as much as we do...So please do not belittle a team that you know is capabable of doing serious damage to yours!!
