Still surprised they didn't opt for UAE or Qatar. Absolutely no excuses here. The Asian Cup gave Lebanon valuable match practice.

This is probably a great time to call up 1 or 2 extra local players. Nisbet must get the nod. I wouldn't mind trying one of the local right backs. If Gauci isn't going to play, I don't see the point of flying all the way over. Ryan, Thomas and Cook would suffice here. 

Players who engage in intimidating behavior towards referees or fellow players will face disciplinary action, with standard punishment being a yellow card for the third player involved in a confrontation.
