Could the hatred be rooted in religious or secterian roots, and not football rivalry. Like say Iran-KSA or Japan-KSA??
could be for some people,however many ppl in bahrain(who actually) attend the games have no religious differences with Saudi.

watever it is you could see it escalate during the games and am considering the players as well.

:howler: interesting rivalries.

I remember when Lebanon played Syria in the 1997 Arab Olympics.

Lebanon were 2-1 up...the floodlights suddenly go out in the middle of the game. Then the light come back on and suddenly everyone from fans to coaches to players are beating the sh*t out of each other :howler:

Then another fight breaks out when Syria are awarded a controversial goal. Than another fight breaks out during extra time when Syria scored again to win the tie 3-2.

They kept fighting all the way until the final whistle. Then the Syrian fans destroyed the seats of our newly built stadium.

It was the most ridiculous moment in Lebanese footballing, or SPORT history as a whole. Hopefully we'll never experience anything like that again. :disagree:

Thankfully, Jordan beat them in the final :smile:

Topic of the day...Rhizoid's discussion on Subcontinental influence of Arabic language in the Gulf. :D

In addition to the various Arabic dialects around Afrique-du-Nord/French-North African, Egyptian, Levantine, Iraqi, and Khaleeji to name a few...one more has to be added:

Asian-subcontinental pidgin Arabic :D

This form of simple Arabic talk, consists of irregular grammar and broken sentence structure, with strong khaleeji/Gulf and Urdu influence is widely understood by our Pakistani and Indian colleagues. Speak to them in any other Arab dialect, and they won't understand a word, unless they speak fluent Arabic.

Most of these expats who live in the Gulf have developed this small-talk dialect in order to get by with the locals here. It's a pure example of a dialect "designed" and evolved for a specific purpose only. For example, you cannot have an in-depth political issues, or abstract philosophical ideas. It's mainly for simple language.

Here's an example, (I won't use "numbers" just to portray the differences for our non-Arab speakers). I'll use my own Levantine (Lebanese, specifically) as a comparison.


"I speak Arabic very well."

Levantine Arabic: "Ana behkee Arabi mneeh/kwayyes"

Subcontinent Arabic: "Ana fi kalam Arabi ziyada" or "Ana fi kalam Arabi zen"

"This man is a very important person (VIP)."

Levantine Arabic: "Hayda el rijjel kteer mhemm."

Subcontinent Arabic: "Hada nafar arbaab kibeer."

Nafar = Quranic/Formal Arabic term for Human Being (male)
Arbaab = Popular Urdu term used here for a VIP

"Go straight to the buiding on your left hand side." (a hypothetical response given, when asking for directions)

Levantine Arabic: "Imshe/Rouh dighre la tousal ala el bineye aa eedak el shmel."

Subcontinent Arabic: "Seer seeda baden shof mabna jiddam fi yadek el yasar"

I'm thinking of writing a tourist guide booklet with all of these :D

The topic is nice...

It's been a long time since I was there the last time, but I still remember some nice sentences:

------------------------------------------------------------------------


English: This kid is poor...

Lebenese Arabic: Hayda alwalad lesgheer maskeen...

Subcontinent Arabic: Hatha albatcha haram...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

English: You're a thief. I will call the police for you...

Lebanese: Ya Harami, Halla' rah ayyet lalsherti yekemshak...

Subcontinent Arabic: Enta Ali Baba, ana wedde kalbushah ashan emsek enta...
