Amman, Jordan – Na today, Jordan go face Iraq for big World Cup Qualifying match wey dey happen for Amman International Stadium. Dis clash no be just regular game; e dey come with plenty wahala because both teams wan secure dem place for the next phase.
Jordan, wey don already qualify for di World Cup for di first time, dey come sharp like pepper. Dem don chop Oman 3-0 last week, and wit dat win, dem dey gree say dem leg dey strong. Players like Ali Olwan wey score hat-trick don make dem fans full of joy (Na so dem dey tell dem padi say “if you no carry my goals, come no be my friend again!”).
As for di Chivalrous Ones, dem dey shine like diamonds under pressure. E get one match wey dem lose to South Korea last year, but all dis wan don make dem learn hard lessons. Dem don come fit unbeaten in 8 games wey dem play, and dem dey ready to show Iraq wetin dem fit do.
On di other hand, Iraq no dey feel am as dem just fall like house of cards (Dem need better anthem for motivation o!). Last week, dem lose to South Korea too, and di players dey feel di weight of di world. Ali Al-Hamadi go miss dis match due to red card suspension. E be like dem don turn Iraq XI to Iraq X, as dem no get one important player. Na wah!
Jordan wey dey 62nd in di FIFA rankings dey hope to end dis qualifier well, and if dem fit finish di match with even draw, dem safe. But Iraq still wan make miracle happen; they need all di points to hope for better outcome.
Prediction dey show say Jordan get 36.2% chance to win, while Iraq get 35.08% and draw dey 28.7% (So, wetin you fit guess, wey you dey feel?). Olwan go sure run come meet his friends for di pitch again. Na 18 goals he don score for Jordan already; e be like say e dey write history for dem.
So, make we settle down grab our popcorn (or palm wine if you sabi) as dis match dey come live. Na sports, no be any slogan wey go fit change di outcome, but we go fit enjoy am!
