Rob Gier To Miss today's Match against Bangladesh!

Rob Gier, one of the Azkals more experienced defenders, flew back to England yesterday to attend to his wife, Emma, who is experiencing a delicate pregnancy. This would be the first child for the Giers.

The Azkal defensive back initially has second thoughts about coming to Myanmar to play but came to an agreement with Coach Hans Michael Weiss to play in the first 2 games in the hopes of scoring a win.

A few of the Azkals tried to convince Gier to stay on but Gier rightly decided that family came first.

To Rob and Emma, our prayers.
