Tunisian sports commentator Essam Al-Shawali signed errors in the "scandal" during his comment on the match between the UAE and Thailand on Sunday.
Surprised by the follower on the exclusive BN Sport, the owner of the rights of the tournament, Al-Shawali insisted on a blatant error in which he officially qualified for India at the expense of Thailand. The draw came with a 4-0 win over India, while Bahrain was third with four points behind Thailand and a five-point lead behind Thailand.
Al-Shawali has launched repeated mistakes in the names of UAE players, especially for UAE defender Ismail Ahmed, as well as for Ali Salemin. He has also been on the verge of talking about the UAE facing India before taking notice in the first half. "And considered it" Thailand "on more than one occasion. But he was the biggest mistake when he insisted for about 10 minutes that Thailand had officially gone out of the tournament. He thought Thailand had only three points and had forgotten that they were equal with the UAE and ahead of Bahrain (4 points), while India, , Has earned 3 points to officially graduate.
He did not correct his mistake and made a point of apologizing to the spectators, only after the group was shown on the screen minutes before the end of the game, and it became clear to him that the UAE, Bahrain and Thailand qualified for the role of 16, while India called for a loss from the "red" Bahrain. The mistakes made by a number of BN Sport's commentators are not new. This has been repeated many times in this tournament and on other occasions.
Errors of Shawwal:
- I think the UAE is facing India and not Thailand.
- Mistakenly in the name of Ismail Ahmad and Ali Salmin.
- I think that India is officially qualified at the expense of Thailand despite the difference between them.
- Mistaken pronunciation of the word Thailand on more than one occasion.
