As this Asian Cup is getting nicer and nicer with very interesting goals and we are still in the group stages, I will continue these posts. Kuwait left very early with three defeats, scoring a goal and receiving seven. To understand how bad this is, I will take you long journey to the 1980 Asian Cup which was held in Kuwait.
In the group stages, the host started very shaky, tying to UAE (which was still weak at that time) and lost 0-3 to South Korea. Kuwait changed the keeper to a new one (Jasem Behman) to qualify as second before beating Iran 2-1 in the Semi-Final. In the Final, Kuwait faced South Korea again, to win passionately exactly with the same result, 3-0. The last goal was very sensational.
And to add more flavor to the victory, South Korea got a Penalty at end of the game. and the new keeper saved it to win the game in a wonderful way. By the way, I found that this keeper now is famous in Kuwait as a physician on herbal and traditional / alternative medicine : )
