إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Lebanon lost 0-1 to Qatar on Sunday in the first match of the final Asian qualifying round for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Uruguayan-born striker Sebastian Soria scored in the 63rd minute of the Group A match, taking advantage of a poor pass from Ramez Dayoub and then eluding goalkeeper Ziad El-Samad for an easy tap-in.

Lebanon had several good chances in the first half, including a shot from Abbas Atwi that hit the post and an attempt from Hassan Maatouk that narrowly missed the target.

Qatar is set to host the 2022 World Cup but has never qualified for the tournament.

The top two teams from each group will advance to the World Cup finals. The two third-place sides will play off for a spot.

The question is which pro hariri players accepted bribes to intentionally lose the game? People like this never had loyalty to Lebanon anyway.

Well each nation is good at something. Some art, football, music, scenery. Our great nation is good at what you mentioned. :)

If only what you mentioned were considered sports...
