Yellow for encroachment. *shakes head*most players do move forward from the original wall.. but they are never yellow carded...
methinks FIFA prefers a Saudi win.

One shot - one goal. With that strike rate Tunisia will be the champions.
KSA are out playing them, but have no cutting edge in attack. Hum, 1 -1 anyone.

Yeah, it would have been, if it had been two teams that anyone really cared about.
Come on, with defences that weak, I'm surprised it wasn't 4-4. Both teams will get mullered by Spain.

Neither have much chance to move on, but it was still a great game for the neutral fans as well.
Which was more fun to watch - this or France vs Switzeralnd? No contest.

I missed France v. Switzerland, but I'm guessing it was a 0-0 draw of the dull variety?
I'd much rather see a game between two good teams that ends goalless but with plenty of skillful football being played, rather than a 'thriller' ending in a 2-2 draw where there are mistakes being made all over the pitch.

You didn't miss much. It was a 0 - 0 of the 'careful' variety where the only point of interest was which forward would trip over his own feet next.
i.e lots of mistakes in positions where they don't matter and low risk, low gain passes elsewhere.
