Gulf Cup!

Yemen, the hosts, fell in the first round, but they let Kuwait make a fantastic first: the tiny Gulf nation have now won 10 Gulf Cup titles in the history of the tournament! Unbeaten throughout the whole adventure, Kuwait were victorious against Saudi Arabia 1-0 in Aden, Yemen to crown their tremendous achievement. This was another disappointment for the Saudi's as they fell to Oman in the last final. Despite neither side scoring in regulation time, Kuwait finally drew ahead in the 4th minute of stoppage time thanks to a fantastic effort from Walied Ali outside of the area. The Saudi's were hindered from doing much of anything thanks to the sending-off of Mohannad Asiri near the end of the match. Nonetheless, the game was very exciting and served as a perfect Final for a tournament that Yemen hosted very nicely. As I post this, there were no reports of terror strikes or anything as the Yemenese pulled off the hosting without a hitch, a fact which I applaud.
