Al Ain FC

A loss of tensions between the fans, a great atmosphere and a great game.

Air Force of Iraq lost 4-1 to Al Ain.

Better performance than Al Nasser by Air Force Club.

At least they were able to score a goal.

Arya, what do you think?

I fully agree with you.

They are playing Al Ain.

next, which is going to be interesting to see a team that has scored eight and has only conceded one.

Lovely people, incredibly hospitable.

And now it's Shabab Al-Ali against Al-Ain.

Huge match.

Wasn't there like a record recently that was broken by one of these teams beating the other one? A 38 game unbeaten run.

And then I looked at today, Al-Nasr against Hatta, that's at 5 in an hour and a half at the Al-Maktoum Stadium.

And then Shabab Al-Ahli versus Al-Ain, 7.45pm at the Rasha Stadium.

I will be there, right? If you do see me, come and say hello.

I'll be commentating in English, In the Pro League, for a huge game, the champions away to Shabab Al Ahly, the former champions, where it sets it up really, really nicely.

That is important.

In terms of the UAE, and, uh, speaking about football mostly, um, it's a new era under Coach Zlatko Dalic, former Croatian national team coach, former Al Ain coach here in the UAE.

Yes.

A coach with a proven track record, uh, a winner.

We've had the standout team, we've had standout players, and we've had transfers.

If we look at the standout team, who stood out for you so far this season in the Adnoc Pro League?

Well, still Al Ain, the reigning champions, they are doing quite well.

Uh, but Jazira is also a, a, a player and a great contender this season-

Uh, and Al Qadsia, who are making their Champions League Elite or Champions League debut, they beat Al Wasl of the UAE 2-1 in a very good performance.

Al Ain defeated Al Nassr 4-0 in a game where, uh, we're gonna be talking about, and then Al Hilal, record title winners, beat Ararate 2-1.

So Arya, I'll come to you first.

Um, any, anything, uh, you wanna mention about any of these games?

Um, you know, already has lots of ACL Elite experience.

Um, Al-Wasl will host Al Ahli.

Uh, Air Force of Iraq will play against Al Ain, uh, who are hoping to come back from that horrible loss.

Uh, Al Nassr...

Like a worse laptop, like a little keyboard on it.

But like, you know, like, if you're talking about people, like, Michael fucking Oliver, right, is one of those refs who got 20 grand to go fucking ref a single Abu Dha- UAE pro league match between Sharjah and Al Ain.

20 fucking grand.

It's an honor that every British ref hopes they can ref at one of those games, yeah.

I know, yeah.

He's gonna look back when the retrospective on his career.

He's like, "I remember when I officiated the match between Sharjah and Al Ain.

It was a fantastic goalless draw."
