The Soccer Touch

http://footballpalestine.blogspot.com

The Palestine Football Association was established in 1928 and has the honor of being one of the oldest Asian FAs.Due to the conflict in the region,it ceased participation in FIFA events and wasn’t re-affiliated until 1998.In 1999,Palestine took part in the Pan Arab Cup in Jordan and finished 3rd after wins against the UAE and Qatar and draws against Libya and Syria.
In 2002,a Chilean with Palestinian origins by the name of Nicola Shahwan with the help of the Palestine FA started recruiting Chilean-Palestinians who were eligible to play for Palestine.He took the job as head coach and led Palestine in the 2002 Pan Arab Cup in Kuwait.This Palestinian team was unique in that it had a South American touch to it as 5 starters were Chilean born.This is where my video picks up.
Palestine recorded impressive results with a 1-1 tie vs Jordan(First goal shown in vid) and a 3-3 tie against home side Kuwait(next goal shown in vid).
Next in 2004 came the World Cup Qualifiers for Germany 2006.Palestine started off strongly with an 8-0 win over Chinese Taipei.They also tied 1-1 with Iraq courtesy of Roberto Kettlun’s brilliant free kick but two defeats from Uzbekistan crushed the teams World Cup hopes.
In 2006 came the qualifiers for the 2007 Asian Cup.Palestine was grouped with Singapore,Iraq and China.Palestine defeated recent South East Asian champions Singapore 1-0(goal shown in vid) and tied Iraq(who would go on to win the Asian Cup) 2-2 but lost twice to China.
In April 2006,Palestine took part in the AFC Challenge Cup where they defeated Guam 11-0,won Cambodia 4-0 and tied with Bangladesh 1-1 before they lost in the Semi-Final to Kyrgystan.
The Palestinian National Team takes part in international competition despite all the difficulties.Current players play with clubs in Palestine,the Arab World,North America,South America and Europe.

So I was watching Sky Sports News this morning (Feb 11th) when they passed to Old Trafford in Trafford to discuss the Suarez – Evra racism debate with none other than Vinnie O’Connor. This discussion lasted all of 15 seconds before the typical SSN Wayne Rooney love fest began. What then proceeded to come out of Vinnie O’Connor’s incredibly biased mouth was simply so amazing, I had to go back and record it. Yet more quality journalism from our unbiased friends at Sky Sports News.

TEHRAN — Iran coach Afshin Ghotbi said on Wednesday that he hopes to pilot his side to glory in the 2011 Asian Cup finals and what would be a first title in 35 years.
The draw in the Asian Cup 2011 to be played in Qatar from January 7 to 29 groups Iran, the Asian powerhouse from the late 1960s through the 1970s, with current Asian Cup champions Iraq, North Korea and the United Arab Emirates.
“We are there for victory, we are trekking on this path and we will act professionally. Our aim is the championship but I am not promising anything,” Ghotbi told a Tehran press conference, his last as coach of Team Melli.
“Now all Iranians have to keep the tempo in backing the team… it is their children playing for glory… to achieve the title after more than three decades,” he said.
Ghotbi, who will part with Team Melli after the Qatar finals, said that he has planned a 10-day training camp in the host nation, with whom Iran will play a pre-tournament friendly on December 28. A second has been pencilled in against Angola on January 2.
“I have assembled a team based on the players’ being football-smart, team-minded, and having an instinctive ambition for the title,” Ghotbi said, when asked why some recent caps had failed to make the squad.
However, both Javad Nekounam and Masoud Shojai of Spanish La Liga club Osasuna have made the shortlist.
Iran’s opening game in Qatar will be against holders Iraq on January 11.

Iran has a current FIFA ranking of 66, which puts it behind Japan, South Korea and Australia. The country won the Asian Cup in 1968, 1972 and 1976, and hosted the continent’s biggest football event in 1968 and 1976.
