15 December 2025
Saudi Legend Flags a Hard-Fought Semi
Mohammed Al-Dai, the Saudi goalkeeping legend, stressed the difficulty of the showdown between the Green Falcons and their Jordanian rivals in the Arab Cup semi-final tonight.
He told the Durina program that luck is evenly balanced between Saudi Arabia and Jordan as they push to reach the final.
He added that the Saudi team boasts skilled players under a good coach, despite some mistakes in recent matches.
Why Saudi Believes in Knockout Experience
Al-Dai backs the Saudi side on the strength of their knockout-stage know-how and the backing of a loud, supportive crowd that could swing the outcome in their favor.
He emphasized that Saudi Arabia has played through the rounds more often, and the players bring a wealth of experience. The fans will be a major factor, supporting the team with energy in every moment.
Jordan's Fight and Small-Details Reality
He also warned that the Jordanian side is strong, hungry, and focused, but cautioned that such matches can hinge on tiny details.
As the teams prepare, psychological readiness and edge-of-the-seat moments could decide the destiny of the match.
Punchline 1: If this match gets any tighter, we’ll need a referee with a laser pointer to find the offside line.
Punchline 2: Don’t worry Jordan, the drama scores big here anyway—this is knockout football, not a knitting club.
