Light years generation The King Kuwait is without any doubt, the Cinderella this Group A Asian Cup 2011. Qatar come to the meeting with the lineup of candidates for bottom club in three matches against Uzbekistan, China and Qatar in which they must fight to exhaustion to get something useful.
If there is a date set for the selection directed by Serbian Goran Tufegdzic is the debut. China is the combination that most closely matches the level of Kuwait, so a victory after 14:15 hours (CET) in the Al-Gharafa Stadium dream would not live a selection from a sweet moment 80's. It is true that in recent months have made the Gulf Cup of Nations and the West Asian Football Federation Championship ( WAFF Championship), so they reach the Asian Cup with a good dose of morality imposed by the Serbian coach since February 2009 trying to regain the throne lost by the Kuwaiti best club in Asia 80.
lot of blame to achieve victories for that generation was Faisal Al-Dakhil. Kuwait striker is a legend in his country and under the nickname The King is still remembered for his goals and be one of the leaders of Al-Azraq (blues) in their successes. In 1980, Kuwait to host and organizer, Al-Dakhil and company rose with this edition of the Asian Cup with two goals from The King in the final against South Korea defeated by a clear 3-0. In 1980, also played the Olympic Games in Moscow in which they lost in the quarterfinals with the Soviet Union by a close 2-1. Without doubt, the '80 was the decade of Kuwait. Two years later, still with Carlos Alberto Parreira as coach, Kuwait was the 1982 World Cup in Spain for the first and only occasion in its history. This participation is best remembered for the insistence of the Emir of Kuwait trying to withdraw their players in the game against France at the Estadio Nuevo José Zorrilla, but for this Persian Gulf country represented themselves known to the world football scene.

n a point in a complicated group with England, France and Czechoslovakia, but Kuwait Asia Pass the name of the sole representative of the continent by Spain. The draw they achieved was the first time in a 1-1 draw with Czechoslovakia. Panenka Europeans ahead from the penalty spot, but The King Al-Dakhil equalized. It did not help to qualify, but Kuwait's first goal in World Cup history and causing the single point they have drawn on the biggest stage of football. Two years later were third in the Asian Cup next (1984), and since then its share has been very irregular in the tournament. Achieved fourth place in 1996 but also missed two events (1992 and last in 2007), so that Kuwait now nothing more than a national team with little options to war in Qatar.
In football, the onus is on Tufegdzic Goran, who in 2008 was an assistant coach for the selection and in February 2009 took over as first coach. In recent months they have grown, and the proof is in the Gulf Cup of Nations

The new leader of Kuwait's Bader Al-Mutwa (pictured), which is the top scorer in the Premier League Kuwaiti as second striker and add up to 37 targets and internationally. With 25 years, Al-Mutwa is a strong point in Tufegdzic attack to try to get a positive result with China and allow a country to dream that has lived a very good 2010 with two titles, but that does not feel player in Asia for nearly 30 years. Another essential men's Serbian coach Ali Waleed Jumah author of the goal that gave the Gulf Cup of Nations in midfield is a fixed with Talal Al-Amer.
But one of the weaknesses of Kuwait is that their league is not very powerful. The national team has selected a number belonging to the army or are teachers of Physical Education. Tufegdzic Goran expectations and the Kuwaiti issue are short because it is normal that they leave this Asian Cup and unable to pay tribute to The King Faisal Al-Dakhil and that great generation of the '80s that led to Kuwait the first stage of world football.
