To be fair, Iran does have talent, but they believe in that defensive football philosophy. They are also well drilled, 2 things I cant say about this Saudi side.

That's what i'm saying, Saudis don't have that talent but they play attacking football unlike Iran who has some talent on the squad but play defend all the time.

Yeah they've got a lot of pace and they work hard and credit to the coach for at least trying to play decent football (even if these players are totally not up to it at all). But they're just full of basic and unforced errors. It's actually hard to believe this is a World Cup qualifying side.

Uruguay are going to humiliate them I think.

Credit to their coach? He didn't read into the strengths or weaknesses of each player, didn't tell his players to clear the ball out instead of playing it out from the back when they cannot, had a high line with full backs attacking and no cover, and didn't go to a more narrow shape which was working in the opposition half. With the money Juan Antonio Pizzi is winning, the tactical display they put in was absolutely embarrassing. This is the same guy who failed to qualify with Chile.

what is the keeper doing? 

Didn't even look like he was trying to save it. Just dived and flung his arms xD

Saudi have been shocking from all points of view, but fair play to Russia who have left a statement.

Golovin has been quality all game. Cheryshev good since he came on. Saudi had a midfield that could pass it around nicely but nothing else in the side. A decent game with good goals to kick things off.

If only the Saudis knew their tactics...

I don't get why you're so hell bent in trying to ridicule me, if you analyse the game at all other than just watch the game for entertainment, you would know the tactical game was stubborn and awful.

These players suck but everyone has their strengths.

The part I fear most is CONCACAF qualifying. The 2 best teams will qualify automatically.

There surely won't be a worse performance from any side in the whole thing than Saudi Arabia there.

If you guys think Saudi's are shit, wait until you see Panama.

I can't see it. They could lose 7-0 and play better than that.

Saudi Arabia were just abysmal.

Now I can take my money :] I was so sure that Russia was going to beat Saudi Arabia because of the Ramadan Arabians are weak. It's also a very good start for Russia and the competition.

You'll be surprised. This Panama side are embarrassingly bad.

He's not trying to ridicule you. He's telling you that you are giving the Saudis way too much credit like there's some sort of answer for their abysmal quality. He's also telling you that it looks like you're trying to win a small point that's insignificant.

He flat out admitted he is trying to ridicule me - and in no moment have I given the Saudis any bit of credit. That's an unnecessart misinterpretation from you lot.

I said several times the Saudi's are shit but they would not have lost 5-0 if Pizzi actually read the game. The approach never changed once despite it not working. I still think they were going to lose, I've said this several times. Just not by as bad a scoreline as that.
