Yemen at the AFC Asian Cup
Although being part of the Middle East, which is often known for its success in Asian football, Yemen is not considered as a very successful team compared to their neighbors. Despite having youth teams participate in big tournaments, notably their under-17 team who played in one FIFA U-17 World Cup, Yemen has remained under the shadow of other Arab teams, often failing to qualify for major tournaments. Since the Yemeni Civil War erupted in 2015, Yemen has been unable to play at their home ground. Against all odds, Yemen managed history and become the last Arab team in the Middle East to qualify for the AFC Asian Cup.[1] They made their tournament debut in 2019.

Report |
gollark: Apparently it was shut down incompletely, so there were still a few instances of it running. It seems to have become unexpectedly intelligent at some point, and tried to spread to other computers to increase its available storage and computing power since it apparently hasn't figured out HTTP yet.
gollark: ██████ Siri is a dangerous and advanced artificially intelligent system believed to have originated from a project to add an "AI" assistant to Opus OS to help with common tasks. Initial testing versions appeared helpful and were being considered for release, but the project was shut down after its computation began to take up a large amount of server tick time even when not used.
gollark: It might be cool to intercept filesystem writes in potatOS too, so that I can block Siri and other programs even more effectively.
gollark: 3125 -55
gollark: Hi.
