think uefa will lobby hard for one in their territory, think spain/portugal are the preferred bid - and they've just tagged on a third host country to their bid, their want to bring the world cup to the Iberian peninsular - plus the ukraine!

Two things are totally different. The people of Saudi and the players have no say in the way their country is run. The people buying Newcastle do.

Yep! We cannot and should not generalise a whole population of a country, but we can generalise 52,000 screaming Jawdees, wearing tea towels on their nappers, welcoming a tyrannical regime.

Not that one. The Austria game they ended the group with. Because Algeria had already played Chile and beaten them 3-2. The West Germany-Austria game was played later and both sides knew that a 1-0 German win would see both go through. They scored after 10 minutes and then had a kick about for the rest of the match. Amongst other things, that match is the reason that the final group games kick off simultaneously.

Well, you've expanded your post from its binary starting point... and then stirred up politics and sport into a big mush and splattered it back out again.

Saudi Arabia shouldn't own Newcastle.

Well done the Saudi Arabian football team for winning that sporting contest.

I'm happy with that position.

Yes, to be fair. Not because I've got anything against Argentina but because its great to see the underdog do well against a big gun. However, with all the sportwashing that is going on with Qatar and the WC and the Saudi State effectively owning Newcastle United there is a very uncomfortable feeling about football and its utter hypocrisy at the moment. That is not any fault of the Saudi players but the joy of the likes of MBS in results like this is not be celebrated.

What is quite sad is to see Messi being very human and not particularly effective yet again in a WC. Maybe he tries too hard.
