Solomon Islands hopes of proceeding to the knockout stage of the FIFA beach soccer world cup in Dubai are very slim after downing down to tournament host United Arab Emirates 1-7 this morning. After a dramatic 7-6 win against Urugay in their opening match, the Bilikiki could not follow that up with another win as the hosts proved too strong in front of a home crowd. And with the Portugal, rank no-2 in the world up next for the Bilikiki boys in the final group match, a dream date in the next stage, is a challenging task.UAE face Uruguay tomorrow as the group stages draw to a close, while Solomon Islands play Portugal at 11:30pm local time tonight with the winner to shield qualification for the knock stage.
