The worst of the lot in the group and at the World Cup Finals. Saudi Arabia enjoys back-to-back World Cups, hoping they can enjoy the same success of their previous run.

Upsets in these major tourneys happen quite often. However, how many upsets can one have in one event taking place? Saudi caused an upset and almost doubled up with a shock result in the Round of 16.

Sadly, the opposition then, were on route to greatness and was letting no country stop them. How far will this team go in a group where you have to face, Mohamed Salah, Luis Suarez, and other names making the list of greats?

If Russia is pinned to end below the qualifying spots that gives the Arabians the right to challenge on the opening day, in the very fist match of the tournament.  As proclaimed by Orri, it’s not the most exciting opening match we get to witness.
