    Serbia was amazing in the qualifiers still doesn't mean they aren't like I described them

    KSA going with the 'get the ball in the box and fall over' strategy of attack.

    almost worked there

    This Saudi-Poland game reminds me a lot of Belgium v Canada...

    The Poles are doing a great job “killing the game”. Heck! they putting me to sleep.

    The Saudis love to throw themselves on the ground

    Too bad that the ref is rewarding them

    The "hit their opponent with their ass and then fall" tactic seems to be a favourite

    Saudi Arabia really seems to be the most frail team to ever play. Many times they aren't even diving because there's no benefit. They legitimately seem to get hurt from just about anything.

    Are Saudi Arabia soccer players or actors??? What a joke of a fake injury by #8.

    Messy game. Can't say Poland deserved to win, but I suppose it's fair to say KSA deserved to lose.

    Poland now well poised to advance regardless of how it goes vs. Argentina.

    Congratulations to Poland and Robert Lewandowski for his first World Cup Goal

    Not sure I'd agree with this at the moment.
    We should know more after Argentina v Mexico.

    If Argentina win against Mexico and Poland and Saudi win their last match against Mexico then Argentina and Saudi qualify.

    I think it is going to come down to goal differential in this Group.
    I think Argentina beats Mexico and draws Poland.

    I think Mexico beats the Saudis in an ugly game.

    Poland and Argentina probably go through after all the drama.

    Lewandowski needed this goal. He was way more confident on the pitch after scoring it.

    Sure, there are still many if's, but by well-poised I just mean Poland has their destiny in their hands. Facing Argentina in a potential do-or-die situation probably not ideal for Poland, but a draw would suffice for them.

    Poland probably rooting for Mexico to eliminate Argentina so the latter have nothing to play for in the group closer.

    The saudi fans spent the past couple of days teasing Messi with "Where is Messi? Do you see him?" thing. :ROFLMAO:
    I hope this doesn't bite them in the ass later on, lol. :D

    Yeah they are already getting a backlash for it on social media as I see a lot of "Where is Saudi?" comments popping up. Anyway, some highlights from the match in and outside of the stadium. I'll now go on a 4 day hiatus after attending 6 games in 7 days but will be back with Spain vs Japan next week...

    My only issue with the saudis is that clown playing with number 5 that mocked Messi for no reason and completely out of nowhere.
    Just for that I wish them to lose every game. :ROFLMAO:

    Very boring team, just like Qatar, Iran, Wales, Mexico, Australia, Tunisia, Costa Rica, Cameroon, Serbia, South Korea...
