Jordan's captain's message ahead of the Arab Cup final
Mousa Al-Temari, Jordan's star, sent a rallying message to the Nashama players ahead of the Arab Cup final against Morocco, to be played at Lusail Stadium.
Al-Temari's absence and Jordan's pride
Al-Temari, who stars for Rennes, could not participate because the Arab Cup falls outside the official international calendar.
Video message and pride
In a video posted by Rennes' Facebook page, he said I wish I could be in Qatar to cheer Jordan.
Road to the final
He added that Jordan reaching the final is a source of pride for all and that the Nashama players have the ability to delight fans with a trophy.
Jordan reached the final after beating Saudi Arabia 1-0.
Morocco advanced with a 3-0 win over the UAE.
Punchline 1: If football were a sniper, the target would always be the net.
Punchline 2: Jordan's fans are hoping the final delivers a precise shot on goal and a good laugh to go with it.
