Tajikistan in 5 days! Just a friendly but we should beat them for our preperation on the 29th June against Palestine which will be a world cup qualifier!

[Shayesta]

^ Didn't we already win from Tajikistan? Or was that hand-ball?

[Haris]

It was probably handball.
We have a bad record against Tajikistan when it comes down to football, in 3 matches we played against them we lost all 3. Hopefully we can turn that around this time but I doubt it given our recent performance.


I only wish there was some way we could watch the matches though.


Fahd, do you think they will show the match with Falestin on Arab TV?

[Digital Malang]

Can you guys please call it soccer, its very confusing.

Never!

Football is recognized by most countries in the world.




This pretty much gives my views on that.


Simple Americans...always trying to be different.



It is football, not soccer.

The Tajikistan match is today, don't know what time.
I was searching and couldn't find any working link to watch the game online so I guess we will just have to read the results once it is over.


Also some good news. We are now 164th best team in the world!

FIFA.com - The FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking

We used to be ranked 200th at one point.
The good thing here is that we are ranked above Palestine (171) so maybe we will beat them on the 29th


We are also above Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Krygyzstan and some other random countries.

[Haris]

I think the match might have been cancelled due to insufficient funds since I can't find any results on google or the FIFA web page.

It was probably cancelled because of the olympic comittee and the Afghan Football Federation had arguments over funding.

I agree with what the guy there said, it is stupidity.



Still we should be on track to face Palestine in 3 days so at least that is something we can look forward to.

Afghanistan camp in Tajikistan: 1 day to go



Reports from Afghanistan camp in Tajikistan say two key members of the
squad are currently hit with injuries during practice. Abassin Alikhil who
plays in the crucial role as defender and last man on the line Mansur
Faqiryar who plays as goalkeeper are not fit to play against Palestine in the
first leg on June 29.

In other news, AFF successfully persuaded Youseff Kargar to withdraw his
resignation and continue his reign as national coach of Afghanistan. It
comes as great news for Afghanistan football who Kargar has made great
efforts in organising a young squad capable of a upset win against a more
superior Palestine team.

Salim Kohistani, captain of the Afghanistan national team mentioned that
morale is high in the squad and after big hurdles were overcome to get to
Tajikistan, the squad and players are trying to put all behind and play for
the war-torn nation. Kohistani did mention that all are well and healthy,
and ready to battle against Palestine.
