Bahrain\'s senior men\'s national football team began training yesterday in Jakarta in preparation for their Fifa World Cup qualifying match against hosts Indonesia tomorrow. During their early evening practice, English head coach Peter John Taylor worked on correcting some of the mistakes the team made during their goalless home draw to Qatar last Friday. Taylor also focused on the team\'s tactics for the upcoming clash, which will be their second in group \'E\' of round three in Asian qualification. Both teams will be looking to secure their first wins of this stage, following Bahrain\'s stalemate against the neighbouring Qataris and Indonesia\'s tough 0-3 defeat to divisional favourites Iran. Bahrain Football Association vice-president Shaikh Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, who is heading the national team delegation in Jakarta, was on hand at yesterday\'s practice, as were scores of Indonesian football fans. Today, the match\'s official technical meeting is scheduled to take place. Tomorrow\'s game is scheduled to kick off at 3pm, Bahrain time. It will be played at the nearly 90,000-capacity Gelaro Bung Karno Stadium According to Indonesian news reports, 70,000 tickets have been made available for the tie. Meanwhile, Taylor was said to have picked out three Indonesian players that the national team must look out for.
