Argentina 🇦🇷 v Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 FIFA World Cup kick 10:00 ITV1 • ITVX • STV • STV Player

[Mickdundee]

Someone on the deleted match thread mentioned that 9 of the Saudi starting XI play for the same club. I just had a look at their squad and only 7 of the squad of 26 play for clubs other than Al Hilal or Al Nassr. And 3 of the 7 play for Al Shabab.

That’s 22 out of a 26 man squad coming from 3 teams.

ITV bang on.

I'm already regretting only having 3-0 for my Super 6 prediction.

It must be a nightmare for the 'neck-knackerers' up the road, having to sit in their stained tea-towels watching the Argentinians take the p**s.

Ha, I’ve got the same score.

Wouldn’t mind if it’s doubled.

[FatDrummer]

[chunksafc]

Souness speaking a lot of truth here

I agree with Sounness and Keane’s views … but it’s hard to take it on board when they’re both stood there in Qatar.

Surely the fact they are stood in Qatar saying it, in front of millions on live TV is good enough reason ?

This. Better to have people to see taking a stand than government mouth pieces

They might be getting paid for being there but at least they aren’t sitting on the fence about it.

Well we can all rest easy now that Joe Cole has spoken out on the subject of Qatar and sports washing. If anybody can decipher what he actually meant then please let me know

MBS a moderator on here now like!? What happened to the original thread?

Also, missed the Saudi bashing on ITV, what's the crack?

“The World Cup shouldn’t be here”

A fair question….and definitely the elephant in the room….but if they weren’t there, who would ‘be on the ground’ speaking out?
Joe Cole was extremely mealy-mouthed in his comments….speaking like a ’fick footballer’
