Lethargic performance by Saudi to say the least, it was awful to see, there was no will or hunger to win whatsoever. I have absolutely no idea what happened in this game!!!
I am glad it was Iraq that won it since the people really deserve it specially after what the people are going through. They finished 4th in the Olympics few years ago and I didn't know that they won the U-19 in Iran few years before that. I guess they do have a great solid base, and their star players, Akram and Younis are 22 and 23 or so respectively.
And Khalifa, the goalie performed two great saves, but it's true that his timing on the ball was bad. But most of the goals Saudi conceded were off dead-balls, I guess Monteshri should have been there.
And yes, some Iraqi's made our neighbourhood in Ottawa feel like Fallujah or something. Iraqi songs 24/7 and going on cars and honking, lol, it was a 24/7 reminder off the loss, thank god I am back to an iraqi-less town now
Mehdi, Khalaas means like 'enough' or just like you described it, but there is also Khellas which means 'get rid of' or so, and I think that might be used more in soccer since it means to clear the ball away etc.
And true that Dubai got good commentating, I used to watch football only on their channel long time ago. At least they are good at something
