    Yeah 2 Australians died in the London attack which is why we did it, I get that it had no effect on Saudi but what they did showed disrespect. I'm not really fussed about it anyway, just happy with the win.
    Saudi are still above it in the World Cup Qualifiers, Australia really screwed up earlier.

    There was an actual discussion on whether or not Ronaldo is a GOAT?

    Its culture, they are just literally confused whats happening as this is very not normal to us

    They issued official apology in English over this and you can google it. It was issued few hours after the match

    Its not disrespect, they just stupid and dont know whats happening, most of them cant speak a lick of English

    Yeah I can definitely understand that, the Australian media has taken it way out of proportion it's ridiculous. Aus media probably even more clueless of whats going on lol.

    Yea for saudis like me who understand these things i felt embarrassed, but i know to most saudis this is very odd thing to do (standing in silence as a respect)

    Also remember all of these players didnt even finish school, uneducated

    They were apparently informed that they would be paying tribute to the victims before the start of the game.

    I'm not fully buying that explanation tbh

    Yes and the answer was "this is not part of our culture"

    Dont buy it. Just assume these players are evil and they are out to s--- and piss on the dead

    Just carry on with your day mate we been to a point where the media has painted a picture for so long that nothing i say can convince you

    I'm not the type of guy who blames muslims for all the evil in the world. In this case I'm not blaming the footballers either. I'm more inclined to say the Saudi Arabian Football Federation f----- it up and MAYBE intentionally hadn't spread the word about the tribute. One of the footballers somehow was able to stand still during the minute of silence tho.

    the #7 is one of our more advanced people who is actually socially aware...he is just exception in this case

    the person that they told is an old timer who is legit more dumb than i can get him credit for, if our officials were told beforehand they would explained it to the players, but tellling this idiot about it wasnt the right move
