We already saw dodgy decisions go both nations way As opposed to the consistent and brilliant decision making we always have in the Premier League? The Saudis have been playing well and scored 2 outstanding goals. I don't know why everything has to be some sort of conspiracy. After all, these are the things to World Cup is about. If this was a " minnow " African or European nation... You wouldn't be insinuating these thing.ls. The Arab prejudice is getting a bit OTT. It's not as if they don't have some sort of sporting and national pride themselves ffs. Saudi are actually one of if not THE strongest Middle Eastern team.

Rustibrooks Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I’ve only tuned in during the second, have Saudi Arabia pressed Argentina this well throughout the game? Because so far I’m impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Chelsea, Man City shocked by lower-league teams in FA Cup A virtually full-strength Man City lost 2-0 to second-tier Middlesbrough at Etihad Stadium, raising questions about the wisdom of the English champions' decision to travel to Abu Dhabi for a five-day warm-weather training camp in the build-up to the game. They only returned late on Friday and the team faded in the second half. " Four of the English Premier League's top six were ousted on a classic FA Cup day, with leader Chelsea squandering a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 to third-tier Bradford at Stamford Bridge in the biggest surprise of them all. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/soccer/2015/01/24/chelsea-man-city-shocked-by-lower-league-teams-in-fa-cup/22269205/ Edited November 22, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your correction adds nothing. It's still a penalty. Drawing a foul isn't against the rules. It's part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Saudi are playing the highline and are taking chances defensively but they are worth the scoreline. The more I'm watching I actually want them to win. There's been some nastiness from the Argies, Otamendi refusing a handshake repeatedly after he won a foul, De Paul seems a stroppy so and so etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
