Now, for the Lebanon 'supporters'.
To dream is always a positive thing but expecting miracles is simply insane. Lebanon was handed a very tough group containing 2 Asian powerhouses in Iran and South Korea as well as an improving nation who play football correctly in the shape of Uzbekistan plus a Qatar side that are spending heavily to be ready for the World Cup in 2022.
So to expect that Lebanon will stroll through the group to go on and lift the world cup in Brazil is a wee bit of a tall order now isnt it??
Rome was not built in a day. Believe it or not, even the greatest clubs and national teams that people drool about now went through rough patches where their right back made a mistake which cost them a match or a place in a tournament. These things happen but these things are all part of the progress.
If we were told one year ago that Lebanon would beat Kuwait & the UAE to a place in Asia's Final Qualifying round to the World Cup we would all take that offer on the spot. Guess what? We have made it while playing some good football as well and we have beaten the mighty Korea at home and the improving Kuwait away.
We are supposed to support them not ride on the player's backs and attack them for mistakes. With proper support, our Lebanon will become a force in this part of the world making this stage of qualifying a habit instead of a one-off.
Get behind the team!
