Abdulla al Hamdan was the hero, scoring in the 28th minute as Saudi Arabia sealed a meeting with Bahrain in Sunday’s final. Bahrain defeated Iraq 5-3 on penalties after their tie ended 2-2. The match saw a slow start with no notable chances in the first 20 minutes although Qa- tar had more of the ball. However, it was Saudi Arabia who took the lead with Sultan Al Ghanam com- pleting a surging run down the left by sending in a cross that was deflected by Tarek Salman.

  • Seeking the State from the Margins: from Tidung Lands to Borderlands in Borneo
    Seeking the state from the margins From Tidung Lands to borderlands in Borneo Nathan Bond ORCID ID: 0000-0002-8094-9173 A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. December 2020 School of Social and Political Sciences The University of Melbourne i Abstract Scholarship on the geographic margins of the state has long suggested that life in such spaces threatens national state-building by transgressing state order. Recently, however, scholars have begun to nuance this view by exploring how marginal peoples often embrace the nation and the state. In this thesis, I bridge these two approaches by exploring how borderland peoples, as exemplars of marginal peoples, seek the state from the margins. I explore this issue by presenting the first extended ethnography of the cross-border ethnic Tidung and neighbouring peoples in the Tidung Lands of northeast Borneo, complementing long-term fieldwork with research in Dutch and British archives. This region, lying at the interstices of Indonesian Kalimantan, Malaysian Sabah and the Southern Philippines, is an ideal site from which to study borderland dynamics and how people have come to seek the state. I analyse understandings of the state, and practical consequences of those understandings in the lives and thought of people in the Tidung Lands. I argue that people who imagine themselves as occupying a marginal place in the national order of things often seek to deepen, rather than resist, relations with the nation-states to which they are marginal. The core contribution of the thesis consists in drawing empirical and theoretical attention to the under-researched issue of seeking the state and thereby encouraging further inquiry into this issue.

Toni kroos and manchester city looking for a new feature so it and ronaldo gives the The ball definitely crosses the line, but Asensio looks to have been fouled in the build up. Benzema is always an option as the team progresses to attacking the goal. Ramos again showed nerves of steel to chip the ball into the net from the spot after a VAR review for a handball by defender Marc Bartra, who appeared to have been pushed by visiting forward Borja Mayoral. The Morocco striker also scored a treble two weeks ago. It is understood that with Benzema playing, he is the first line of attack amongst the BBC trio. The two goals made him the top French scorer in La Liga history surpassing Zidane. They also played out a scoreless draw in the WSL Cup in December that ended with a United triumph in a penalty shootout. But with just one minute go until halftime, Antlers grabbed a lifeline.
