Congradulation, We Have Survived Bahrain Trap
Bahrain IS NOT a factor in our WCQ anymore. We went there to play only to find out that they had set several traps for us. We just cautiously managed our way around the trap and we are back on the road once again. So, let's forget the trap and Bahrain ordeal and concentrate on the upcoming games with Japan and N. korea.
The return game with Bahrain may no longer be a factor if we win our next 3 games with japan, n. korea and n. korea. we will most probably advance with 10 points since the possibility of a japan-bahrain draw is quite high. and if that does not happen, then all we need is a draw in bahrain return game to qualify.
So, Bahrain is almost completely behind us for a long time.
Let's STOP talking about Bahrain and concentrate on the road ahead.
Now, Let's Talk About The Real Things (Japan, N. Korea)
