mcgillianaire | OMAN 0 - 0 Saudi Arabia (6-5 pen), 2009 Football Gulf Cup Final // OMAN ARE CHAMPIONS!!! (Reply)

THEY'VE DONE IT!!! FOR THE FIRST TIME!! PENALTIES ARE A CRUEL WAY TO LOSE, I KNOW - I'VE BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF THEM AS A SUPPORTER SINCE 1994 BUT SOMEONE HAS TO WIN AND JUSTICE HAS BEEN DELIVERED. RATHER FITTINGLY, THE WINNING GOAL SCORER WAS HASSAN RABAEE WHO WAS OMAN'S STAR PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT AND SCORED THE SCORCHER IN THE SEMI-FINAL TO PUT OMAN THROUGH TO THE FINAL, IN ADDITION TO HIS HAT-TRICK IN THE GROUP STAGE. IT'S GOING TO BE A RIOT IN OMAN TONIGHT AND WHY NOT. WHIPPING BOYS FOR MOST OF THE HISTORY OF THIS COMPETITION BUT NOW THEY'VE HIT GOLD. THREE FINALS AND A FOURTH-PLACE POSITION IN THE LAST FOUR CUPS. THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK ARE ON THEIR WAY UP. NEXT STOP, THE ASIAN CUP! MABROOK OMAN!!!! IT"S THE MOMENT WE'D ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. THIRD TIME LUCKY. ENJOY THE MOMENT!!!
