Saudi Arabia preview

With the qualifiers coming up against Iran and the U.A.E, I decided to run over some of my players I have available.
I have a good few players out with injury so I am looking into the U-21 and U-19 sides for replacements.
Of the players I have Yasser Al-Qahtani is certainly among the best as is Mohammed Noor and Hamad Al-Montashari. All of my players play in Saudi Arabia with the noteble exception of Abdullah in the U-19 side who is with West Ham's youth system.

The game against Iran is certainly the big game. I know it will be massive if we can get a victory over this kind of opposition as Iran are quiet good. We will have to watch for Ali Karimi and Vadid Hashemian up front while Mehdi Madavikia is a danger.
I was surprised not to see Masoud Shojaei included in their squad but this makes my job that bit easier.

Focus after this game turns to the U.A.E a side that many will expect us to beat but I know they are not to be underestimated. They have good players in like Ismael Matar and this will be focused on after the Iran match.
