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.
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.
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. I hope this doesn't bite them in the ass later on, lol.
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.
Very boring team, just like Qatar, Iran, Wales, Mexico, Australia, Tunisia, Costa Rica, Cameroon, Serbia, South Korea...
