Kanno lmao
Wonder who gets benched when Neymar is fit. I think Michael but Jorge Jesus might like him from Flamengo.
Has to be Michael. That guy is just way too inconsistent to rely on.
When Alhilal is firing on all cylinders, they are so fucking good
Lesss goooo
Can someone tell me how that handball was not a penalty ?
Ngl, loving this game. Nothing like Arabic commentators and no insane tactics, just 11 v 11 playing football out there
The Arabic commentator i am listening to right now is so biased towards Al hilal it’s laughable
Bein?
No
Probably watching Saudi Sports Channel.
Yes because the links are all from the Saudi channel
Hence the bias. Alhilal is the club representing the country's chances to get the cup
Lmao that's a pen
How? Thats very soft.
There was still a contact
Yeah and not every contact warrants a pen because this was very soft.
He should get yellow for diving.
That call was too harsh honestly
This refreeing is gonna be the end of me.
Haven’t seen Al Hilal rattled like this in a long time
Some part of me wants them to lose. Cause all that talk about them being on top of the world for so long made them way too comfortable.
They need a big loss to reset their mental thinking to be better imo.
They crumbled under pressure of their own making.
Bruh
Did Al Hilal move to a new stadium?
Yeah, the 70k seater stadium is undergoing renovations for the 2027 Asian Cup.
Yes
Thx, it felt smaller than their previous stadium..
2 goals in the first 12 minutes. This game is going to go crazy !
That did not look much of a foul. He missed anyway though.
Glad Malcolm found his level
