For the UAE, some players from their side might not also suit up for our friendly since some clubs have their UAE League Cup games on Nob 6 to 8, 2013. Some of them might be used as sub and play in the 2nd half part of the game.
I just wonder why Roland Muller is out in the line-up since his club Servette has a final game on Nov 3 against Steuble's team FC Wil 1900. After that, they'll have a break until Nov 23. Nov 24 is their next game.
Trivia: For the year 2013, UAE has 11 international games and ALL of then resulted in UAE win. Their last game is against Hong Kong in same venue as the Azkals game in HK and resulted in 4-0 win of UAE. In their next FIFA rankings, they are expected to rise further in the rankings.
Well I expect we can't win here (but who knows, we might upset them). I expect medium chance of draw or a high chance of defeat could be 1-0 or 2-0.
This is a real test how far the Azkals go and improved since their renaissance back in 2010.

im afraid that Sacapano will concede a lot of goals. perhaps 4 or 5? this is a high caliber team and we don't have our top keepers

All I can say is good luck. This will also test how far Sacapano improved since his improved performance in Suzuki Cup. I'm just worried since he has a "not-so-good" performance in Indonesia friendly. I hope he could regain his performance like in Singapore friendly in Cebu or in Suzuki Cup games like Vietnam and Myanmar.

Mulders is still not 100%. That's also why he missed the Peace Cup.

This match is not in the window. Not surprised that most of the international contingent is unavailable.

Still No news about the tickets. As per UAE FA they will know 2-3days before the friendly if it will be free or not. So I guess we'll know the details on wed

Recieved this from a friend in UAE Embassy:
The Philippine Embassy wishes to inform that the Philippine Football team also known as "AZKALS" will have an International Friendly match with the UAE Men's Football team on 09 November 2013 at Zayed City Sports Stadium, Abu Dhabi. Kick off time will be at 6:30 p.m.
It would be appreciated if you could disseminate the abovementioned event to all Filipinos to provide moral support to the AZKALS team.
Thank you.
Juliet A. Oresca Cultural Officer Philippine Embassy Abu Dhabi

Nice roster but I question the use of Steuble as we(the team) don't really have playing time with him except in practice against the highest team we ever played too! LW we have so many quality players but I suppose if he's available for the 2014 CC any time is the right time to play him... Müller is first choice at Servette and is playing League match on November 9. Local GK if Etheridge is not released for this friendly. Don't worry about Steuble. He's a starter on FC Wil and is a very good player. You'll se it when he plays. You can also watch highlights from his team at Swiss League website.
