Of all the countries in the world, why do Lebanon have such good heritage players? Seems proper random.

There is a huge Lebanese population in Western Sydney, essentially the heartbeat of rugby league in Australia. Pretty much the suburbs in Sydney where majority Lebanese live are in heartlands of Parramatta Bankstown. In addition unlike Italians or Greeks which have strong history in soocer so it's natural for their diaspora to play soccer.

What? It’s on bbc..

I’m in America mate & I can get BBC 1, 2 & 4 & it’s not on any of those, My point is the website is funky & should be made far far easier to buy streaming, I can buy match tickets etc just not the streaming 

[Young Blood]

Lebanon clearly 2nd best team in Northern Hemisphere they are 3-4 NRL fowards short of giving England a test.

They don’t really fit in the Pacific tournaments though so any games they get in Australia will probably be ad-hoc. They used to regularly play in Europe in the late 00s and early-mid 10s, they were in European World Cup qualifiers and some other tournaments.

If we had some tournament à la Four Nations (remember when Scotland qualified and fielded a strong team, at full strength) I think their best players would come.

He has been very good for about 4 years now, but quite understandable playing for West Tigers.

Doueihi has also had to contend with being played in different positions as Wests rearrange the deck chairs to find a win here or there.

[JimBronco]

Nice kick technique 

[DavidM]

[Szymala]

Lebanon look rather ordinary without Moses.

[Ullman]

Great stuff from Agoro, showed impressive acceleration for a heavily built bloke.
