Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina 2-1 ending Argentina's 35 undefeated games run - One of the biggest underdog stories in modern World Cup history

.
First Muslim Arab African country to win a match in WC was Tunisia back in 1978, we are more powerful than Algeria, Morocco, Egypt ....

I mean in terms of footballers and accomplishments in African Cup of Nations. If I am not wrong, Tunisia has won 1 time, Algeria 2 times and Morocco 1 time.

Morocco and Algeria also advanced to the Round of 16.

However I was not aware of Tunisia advancing that early (all the way back in 1978).

I saw this list.


How accurate is it?

I did not really watch any football prior to 2002 (too young) but I remember a few Tunisian players doing well.

Dawsari goal made iranian bitches put the hijab back on...:lol:
Not funny. Referring to women as "bitches"?

Saudi Arabians are a crazy and insanely funny bunch when they first open up and go at it. Some of the scenes/videos that are floating around on Twitter are amazing. I posted some already.

He is missing the sword.:lol:

Messi and Argentina are being trolled to the max.

Actually I have many positive comments online. Only the LGTB/extreme leftists lot are angry but they are angry all the time and angry about the entire World Cup even taking place. I would not take it seriously. I think that football fans across the world are rightly surprised by KSA's performance against a football superpower like Argentina and most people like an underdog story.

For many of those LGBT/extreme leftists, their main scapegoat is always rich wealthy Arab states like KSA/GCC more than anything else. They don't care that their "favourite groups" are treated much worse in many other Muslim countries/developing countries, but nobody cares about Northern Nigeria, Somalia, Chad, Niger, Afghanistan, Chechnya and many others.

Actually KSA has much in common with Scandinavian welfare states such as Denmark, Sweden, Norway etc.

Free healthcare, free education, top infrastructure, community society (overly individualism is frowned upon while the collective is preferred - a common theme across the entire Islamic world /East/China etc.


Listen to this Christian Nigerian that grow up in KSA and also UK and USA and he talks about all the differences between the 3 countries and the ignorance about KSA/Islamic countries by the average Westerner.

Also watch all the videos online of content Western football fans in Qatar who can't recognize all the propaganda 24/7 against Qatar, and honestly, I am not the biggest fan of Qatar foreign policies.

Also the West being racist against olive-skinned/brown/Middle Easterners/Arabs/Black people is quite ironic as HALF of their own football teams are full of them. Without those players they would not be anywhere to see. Best left ignored, there will always be haters.

I'm mean Tunisia is the true Lion, of the football in Africa, that never die 😁.

We got our up and down, but we can beat anyone in their Summum.

Most of our players are local, we don't have anyone in Liverpool, Barca, MU, ,... But we can beat them anytime with their international players .

I remember watching that video. I also did not like Saudis until I watched videos Pakistani youtuber Abrar in KSA. After his vlogs and seeing how local Saudis treated him my views changed.

Who cares about those LGTB, liberal, Islamophobes??? They can go Fû&£ each other away.

The Cup in Qatar is great, really amazing, Football in an oriental décor 😍

Just Fûck off, Saudi played very well and merit the victory, also what do Chinese have to do with Football???
When did I criticize the Saudi? Did it hit some nerve of yours?

I agree that France were a stacked team in 2018 but Mbappé was the main man IMO. Along with Kanté.

I think that Mbappé has been performing very well for PSG but the problem is the PSG team. As I wrote he should have moved to Real Madrid this summer in order to grow as a player but either he or his family are extremely greedy or Qatar promised him palaces and whatever after his retirement to most of his family. Anyway even Macron made public comments about him needing to stay in Paris.

Anyway, we will have to see, but I don't think that Mbappé or Haaland will be as dominant as Messi and C. Ronaldo were for the past 15 years.

You forgot Paul Pogba's role in WC 2018. He was really good in that

Also being a Madrid fan I don't want Mbappe to ever come to Madrid

Because of this guy we didn't buy any other forward and he ditched real madrid in the end for insane money that he was getting from Qataris

He has an insane ego, he will ruin Real Madrid's dressing room.

Bro, the largest Pakistani diaspora in the world lives in KSA and have done that for decades. In fact even there are many Saudi Arabian citizens of Pakistani origin (Sindhi, Punjabi, Pashtun etc.). KSA is also one of the most diverse Muslim countries, you have Saudi Arabian citizens of Albanian, Bosniak origin to Uyghur/Muslim Chinese to a large Indonesian community, African, other Arab nations, Turks, Kurds, Uzbeks, Afghans etc. It is a country that for the past 1400 years, Muslim pilgrims from the entire world have been migrating too and often staying their permanently.

Only in the 1960's it became much more difficult to get KSA citizenship. If they opened up for that, they would quickly become a minority in their own country, but I fell that they will open up very soon in this regard in some way. There has already been talk of given full citizenship to long-term residents that are educated and needed. Of course, as unfair as it might be, they cannot import 10 million poor Indian Muslims without qualifications just because. No country is doing that.

BTW there are Pakistani schools, Pakistani restaurants, Pakistani kindergardens, Pakistani neighbourhoods etc., Pakistanis of all walks of life and from every part of Pakistan and ethnicity. From the qualified doctor to a Pashtun carpenter going to KSA to earn some hard-earned money for his family.

KSA is not perfect of course, no country is, and they can improve on many fronts, but it is a really good country overall and from my personal experience, I can only talk positive about the people.

And most importantly, contrary to popular belief, people form KSA are not racist towards Pakistanis and don't have this "I am better than you" complex that I have sadly seen from other Middle Easterners and some non-Arabs (I won't mention names here).

Arabs judge people by their social status and wealth more than where you are from. Which makes sense given their diversity.

I honestly feel that Pakistanis and Saudi Arabians (as a people) are very close and have much more in common than the opposite, even lookwise which I for instance cannot say the same about say Turks.

Anyway as that Nigerian says, KSA is probably the most misunderstood/propagandized country/people in the world. Not only that KSA is arguably one of the most beautiful countries in terms of nature/natural scenario/wilderness. One of the few gems in the world that have not been exposed to massive tourism.

Who cares about those LGTB, liberal, Islamophobes??? They can go Fû&£ each other away.

The Cup in Qatar is great, really amazing, Football in an oriental décor 😍

I agree, I think it is great that not only Western European/South American (Argentina and Brazil), USA etc. can host the World Cup. Football is a global sport and it has never been hosted in the Middle East/West Asia/Arab World.

However I feel that other Arab countries than Qatar, being the smallest Arab nation (after Bahrain) with just 350.000 natives, could have been better hosts in terms of football heritage and local fan interest. But I have nothing against Qatar, don't misunderstand my post.

As for the LGBT/extreme leftists/anti-Arab crowd, they are better left ignored, as you are losing your brain cells by engaging with them.

Yes, but IMO Mbappé was the star. Kanté, Pogba and Griezmann were great too. France had/have a stacked team of course, as I also wrote, but Mbappé has already proven himself in a World Cup and won it, which was my point.

I am a Real Madrid fan too and Real Madrid should never say no to world class players. Mbappé has a weakness for Real Madrid and he can still move to us. Are we supposed to ignore him? He is just 23 years old and Benzema will turn 35 soon and is getting old and more and more injured.

We need a new attacker that can dominate football for the next decade. Mbappé is that player.

Of course if Haaland wants to leave in 2024 from Man City, I will not say no to him, but I rate Mbappé as the more talented/complete player than Halland who I just see as an insane poacher but not much more than that.

He has an insane ego, he will ruin Real Madrid's dressing room.

This is the only thing that I fear about him but I think that his family and advisors are the ones that are turning his head due to the insane money that Qatar (PSG) is offering him.

Actually did KSA not score the 2 goals very quickly? I felt that they had just scored their first goal, when Al-Dawsari scored that stunner afterwards.

I think Argentina scored first then Saudiya came back with its two goals. Either way, we all know what matters the most is the end result.

The result of the win throughout the Arab countries seems to be making an even more profound impact, mostly that of unity. I think we all know how Saudiya would get its share of bashing and then some, more than any other Arab country aside Egypt for a very long time. Yes, most of that was directed at the rulers etc., but that narrative seems to have been changing in the other direction for a while now, and with this great result it seems to be even more. That part is as enjoyable as the play itself.

Excuse my bad English.

What I wanted to write was that it felt like KSA scored their 2 goals in quick succession and that Argentina looked shocked/stunned after KSA's equaliser.

The biggest tragedy is that Arabs (I think that it is better to say Arab governments/regimes) cannot leave their differences aside. My experience has always been that the average Arab, in the diaspora or in the GCC, gets one with each other but this unity/likeness is not translated politically due to there being 20 + different Arab states with different policies, agenda, priorities which makes actual unity impossible.

There is quite frankly also insane/stupid rivalries that make people hostile to each other. We could mention many but for instance the Moroccan-Algerian rivalry/hatred is just created by politicians/regimes. KSA and Yemenis are also brothers, not enemies.

It is sad, because this is unfortunately human nature and we unfortunately see it in Pakistan too in internal political dynamics, ethnic strives (Punjabi vs Pashtun, Sindhi etc.), stupid hatred, Pakistan-Afghanistan relations and much more.

Tomorrow all this is forgotten and people/humans will continue their nonsense.

Just look at Ukraine and Russia. Slavic brother that shares everything with each other (religion, language, culture, DNA, geography, appearance, cuisine, music etc.), everything that you can basically think of, yet they are brutally murdering each other (Russia being the aggressor of course) and the hatred is extreme online and in real life.

This hatred will continue for the next 2-3 generations and son will inherit the hatred of his parents etc. and this will continue until sanity prevails. Yet they have so much in common.

This is the main problem of the Muslim world, Arabs and everyone else. We cannot leave our chauvanism/superiority complex/desire to dominate/rule behind for the collective of the good nor can we appreciate all the things that we share in common but prefer to multiply the small differences to such an extend that we become rivals or start hating each other.

Yeah your English is really bad lol. More like my total misunderstanding was pretty much evident.

Totally agree with every point.

This pic is turning into an instant classic and will probably be featured in a lot of future deals.
