This is quite weird and awkward! Zeinab Abdel Sater and Jad Ghosn from Al Jadeed TV concluded their report about the world cup final game by stating that Hitler cheered in his grave for Germany’s win! (At the 1m50s mark)

Don’t miss Lebanon vs. Qatar game today
Don’t miss following the world cup qualifying game between our national team and Qatar today at 4:45PM Beirut time. This is a quite important one as it can seriously increase our chance to qualify to the world cup in case we won.
If you’re wondering how will our chances be affected in case of a win or loss, here’s how figo29 put it:
I will keep things simple and put the math first, so that no one would panic in case of a loss:
- A win against Qatar will put Lebanon on equal terms with Korea Republic = 80% chance of going to World Cup 2014
- A draw will keep Lebanon at the bottom of the group = 40% chance of going to World Cup 2014
- A loss will change nothing = 20% chance of making it to World Cup 2014
The game will be broadcasted on Al-Jazeera sports and I guess all major news sites will be posting the important updates in realtime.
Update:
We unfortunately lost 0-1 to Qatar and we now have very little chance to advance to the world cup.

Mabrouk Lebanon!
So we did it and defeated Iran tonight!!
Lebanon stunned Iran 1-0 today to claim their first ever win against the regional giants and raise hopes of gaining a shock 2014 FIFA World Cup™ berth.

After playing 4 games we now have 4 points which is as much as Iran and Qatar have, except that they have played 3 games so far and therefore have one game in hand. You can check the standings here.
Our team still has 4 more games remaining with the next one being against Qatar on November 14th.
