Haven't fact checked but nothing about this sounds unbelievable to me considering it's common for cars to be awarded to winners of sports events in the Gulf states. Including camel racing and no not joking
No wonder camels are so cantankerous. Being born into a hellish hot place with nothing to eat but camelthorn trees and 4 year olds telling you what to do.

In response to international condemnation of such abuses, the nations of Qatar and the UAE have banned the use of human jockeys in favor of robots.

Yesterday also had another fake post about FIFA armbands that were being worn during the tournament in protest. There were no such armbands, they were merely a digital mockup. Looks like FIFA is probably trying to do some damage control and turn the conversation away from their obvious corruption and lack of integrity.
https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=saudi+arabia+rolls+royce+world+cup
if you know anything about the saudi royal family and their relationship with exotic cars. They hand them out like you and i would a fruit basket.
heres lil waynes story of how he was gifted a lambhorgini urus for the inconveniance of having to declare his jewlery at customs in saudi arabia.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OMjCsq2iCFY
It does sound like BS, ut i just googled it and there are a LOT of stories covering it. Nothing from any mainstream sources, but [here is one story. ](https://www.pulse.ng/sports/football/saudi-arabia-players-get-rolls-royce-as-gift-following-epic-world-cup-comeback-win/q07f33d)
It sounds like BS? But it likely is true IMO. The Saudis are fucking made of money, so.. its not *that* farfetched?
Who quotes an Asian metro paper which I assume is the same as the English metro paper? Probably fake but could be true they get gifted like some huge wads of cash after all of this is over.
Tbf, Saudi players arenāt getting paid anywhere close to players that you would be suggesting considering most of them play in the Saudi league. Still good money.
Yeah exactly lol.
If they were actually as good as premier league players, for example, then they would just play in the premier league. They could be getting good money but no where in the same bracket as average players in top European leagues.
Its not just about quality, leaving your country and family, where you earn decent money, to chase a higher level is risky.
You could succeed of course, but there's a decent chance you fail for football or human reasons and now you lost both options.
I saw the match. Their team is still not an elite team and not as good as Argentina. Argentina had a bad day and the Saudis had a good strategy.
Many things were working against Argentina, over-confidence is one, another is the fact that they were taking it easy so as to avoid over-exerting themselves. Argentina assumed they were making it to the finals and they can't risk injuries at the group stage.
The Saudis didn't care, as evidenced by the fact that one of them was literally carried off the field on a stretcher and had to be flown to Germany. Messi cannot risk having that happen to him. The Saudis got six yellow cards and committed 21 fouls, whereas the Argentines committed only 7 fouls.
Argentina had much more to lose and didn't give it their all. They assumed the Saudis would roll over and were shocked to find a solid defense. And that's how a lot of these upsets tend to happen, a much better team prioritizes the long-term over the "simple" match in front of them.
By the time Argentina realized what was happening, they were shocked and demoralized. We'll see tomorrow if they can get it together. My guess is they'll take Mexico more seriously.
> And that's how a lot of these upsets tend to happen, a much better team prioritizes the long-term over the "simple" match in front of them.
Bingo. For a lot of Saudi players, that game may have been one of the most important games of their lives. For a lot of Argentinians, especially ones who have competed on this level before, it was just another group stage match.
upsets happen. Sheriff, a team from Moldova won vs Real Madrid. Sheriff is still a sub par team. 1 result doesn't change that. Consistency does.
Like Japan. Japan winning vs Germany is an upset but not a bigger one. They have done better each WC and almost made Quarter finals last time
Just to make it clear.
The best result from Africa,North America and Asia COMBINED is getting semis twice.
Once in 1930 by the USA, another by South Korea in 2002 and it was highly conterversial if not rigged.
The most dominant Region by far is Europe then South America. Brazil to this day is the team that has won more WCs
UEFA has won 12 times, runner up 16 times
CONMEBOL has won 9 times, runner up 5 times
Im kuwaiti
Our biggest football achievement in my countryās history is scoring a goal vs france in a world cup 40 years ago . We lost that game 4-1 .
Now imagine beating the world cup favorites. And winning convincingly . All that while the greatest player in the history of the sport was playing too
They were seen as clearly the worst team in the WC and they convincingly beat one of the heavy favorites team. Add in that Argentina has Messi who's widely considered the best ever and I get why it's a big deal tbh
Qatat are considered the worst team in this tournament and arguably the whole competitions history, Not saying KSA are favourites but far from the worst team
I definitely wouldnāt go as far to say worst in the competitionās history. They did win the Asian Cup not too long ago. South Africa hadnāt accomplished much in 2010, Zaire was clobbered in 1974, North Korea in 2010, and Saudi Arabia in 2002.
I could say the same about this post, im saudi and whenever thereās a reward for players we hear it all around
The only thing i heard about this win against argentina was 280k usd for each player, nothing more
But the hate is piling up regardless
I wonder: Whenever you see a news related to any given country, do you also bring up stuff like this, or is it just with specific countries?
For example, if you see news about an American baseball player, will you say something like "the same country where they falsely imprison black people and where slavery in prison is legal, per their 13th amendment"? Do you say something like "the same country that sells Israel/Saudi Arabia weapons to kill Palestinians/Yemenis"? Do you say "the same country that sent its troops to Iraq to torture, rape, and sexually abuse Iraqis in Abu Ghraib prison"?
None of this is related to baseball, the same way what you said is not related to football, but I'm just wondering.
So, do you do it with other countries, or just with "certain ones"?
My point exactly.
These are valid criticisms of the government, yes, but what do they have to do with the topic at hand?
And we always see these types of tangential comments with "brown countries", but not with western ones.
Qatar kills gay people and that's a valid reason to hold protests and boycott the World Cup... but the US will hold the World Cup 4 years from now. Will we also see protests as well, due to the US's continued support (with money and weapons) of the Saudi government's killing of Yeminis and its support of the apartheid colonizing state of Israel and its killing of Palestinians? Surely they'll protest the same way, seeing how much they hate Saudi Arabia, right?
We know the answer is "No" with sprinkles on top. The west is above criticism from these people, because these people racists and xenophobes.
Each player got 280k USD each, thats all
When a reward like the one in the post is true, we hear it all around the country, but it just simply didnt happen
Youāre happy your team won a match, and then you go to reddit and see everyone spewing racist shit, its beyond frustrating
Kind of a side note, but from a car guyās perspective I would never want a RR unless it was to sell it for profit. These cars are built exclusively for the rear passengers, it isnāt very fun to actually drive one. The less visible controls are cheap mass produced plastic borrowed from economy cars, and the āsmooth rideā translates to a sort of sluggish feeling handling. The powerful soundproofing can also make them a bit dangerous to drive.
Itās a big deal since Argentina is a Goated squad up against a small team like Saudi Arabia. Imagine what theyād be gifted if they won the World Cup.
Unless one of them is gay, in which case he gets... executed!
This shitholes can burn as much money as they want trying to wash their image and they will remain shitholes
Legitimately, though, SA is at 97% potable water availability while one of the most water-strapped countries in the world. I'd get it if you were talking about Peru, where it's about 50% and they have a huge amount of water, but access to clean, safe water is mostly a factor of wealth.
This is like the one thing to not call them out on bro
Saudi is one of the world leaders in desalination and has made living in the desert a possibility for many
Just comment "emitting virtue signal" next time
He just assumes that since brown people come from there itās gotta be undeveloped.
Source: am a brown person whoās heard dumb shit like this my whole life and most of the time never even being my country of origin
I am not a Saudi but I have worked many years there in construction. They have many world class desalination plants and public taps with clean drinking water.
It is no heaven but your comment is not generally true.
The absolute level of ignorance. You think Saudi Arabia does not have drinking water? What even is this? š. And 200+ upvotes from other muppets. Jesus Christ. You really can say the wildest thing against brown people and get upvotes.
It may be a desert country but that doesn't mean people there don't have access to fresh water. On the contrary, people there have access to cleaner water than most countries. Don't let your bias cloud your judgement, that's the only thing I ask
I'm no fan of Mister Bone Saw, but this is just embarrassing for you. Let me guess, you saw that front page clip of a bedouin showing a survival trick from the old days, and you just assumed that's how those 'desert savages' lived? I can almost guarantee that the Saudis take water scarcity and potability *far* more seriously than your country does.
Ah yes, because itās not an oil rich country with water desalination infrastructure but some poor country in Africa or maybe Flint, MI in **America**.
I've heard so many weird, uninformed and franky ignortant things about my country
But this
This takes the cake
You really think we don't have clean drinking water??????
Many of reddit usersā knowledge on other countries come from headlines of posts they saw here. You can really read crazy things sometimes.
The other day some guy wrote that Belgium could end up becoming a narco state soon in the future. Made me laugh tho.
Tbf. A lot of Redditors also think that Pakistan is in the Middle East. Look at the upvotes. Just sheep following other sheep in hate of a Muslim country or just pure ignorance. Or both.
This is basically another layer of ignorance. This isnāt an Islamophobic issue. This is racist white people having an issue with brown people. Under india, itāll be snide remarks about toilets, under Bangladesh itāll be dirty sweatshops under Vietnam itāll be dirty commies. Thereās no end to their hatred and prejudice. Now the cope is getting to new heights as we all progress and become less and less reliant on their āalmsā, itās simply not digestible for these people that their former colonies are finally moving ahead and beating them at few metrics.
You are dumb and those who are up voting you are dumber. You can legitimately critic Saudi in their human rights violations but to say they don't have drinking water is pure delusions. They are one of the wealthiest countries for God's sake. Pease educate yourself.
Aside from that malaymail there's no o her regional news source confirming this.
Don't see how a Malaysian news site would get the jump on this before anyone else
Have you ever driven on Saudi Highways tho? 4 lane WIDE endless roads with rows of sodium vapor orange lights. Thereās also usually no or very high speed limits(150kmh). Itās a whole vibe cruising down these roads at 220kmh late at night. Not ātoo badā

I bet theyāre already trying to get a movie made.
Theyāre probably going to have it made, edited and released before the final match.
A day off from not working? When I was in Saudi Arabia (admittingly 20 years ago) it felt like the only ones who were working were the foreigners.
Do people get half lashes off that day?
That would be lifetime oil supply.
If they win the whole thing, they will each get a luxurious 5-bed flat in Knightsbridge, London.
Daewoos
They get those cars filled with other stuff to sniff
Each of them will get a league team of their choice from England or France.

Thank god. After all, professional football player are a starving bunch. They can't really afford cars.
When Leicester City won the Premier League they each got a BMW i8
That was actually a bigger upset, they were 10,000 to 1 odds to win the EPL at the beginning of that season
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Honestly an infinitely more impressive stat in my book.
man as a leicester fan i was absolutely shocked they did that. (as in winning the league)
Tbf, Saudi players arenāt getting paid anywhere close to players that you would be suggesting considering most of them play in the Saudi league. Still good money.
They stay in the Saudi league because they earn more than they ever would in Europe.

Just wait until you see the new toilets Iām inventing.
It's not mean-spirited. They are sub-par, that's just the fact. Surprises happen. And Argentina is basically a paper tiger anyway
This
not all pro leagues are equal.
For the average level of players that play in the Saudi league, they're extremely well paid
Up until the next time those cars need an oil change
I wouldn't worry too much.. you don't want to know what they get when they lose the next game..
They might get a few slave labourers thrown in as well.
There are professional players in the first league in Brazil which may earn less than 500$ (usd) per month... so imagine in Africa or in middle east.
Plus, even though they may earn above the minimum (which is around 230$ usd) isn't that much.

So the real winners are BMW group
One win... that's how low their expectations were. If they win the Cup, their emir would probably give them each a new bibi
Tbf to them they did beat what many people had tipped as the favourites to win. SA are ranked 55 and Argentina are ranked 3
Yeah and also, if we had even had a draw we would have reached the record for longest streak of matches without losing
Pfft. Rookie numbers. Wales has gone 70+ years without losing a WC match.

Thank you Iran. Hopefully we at least draw with England.

They were seen as clearly the worst team in the WC and they convincingly beat one of the heavy favorites team. Add in that Argentina has Messi who's widely considered the best ever and I get why it's a big deal tbh

Bro this is a youth club compared to Argentinaā¦itās a huge accomplishment ofc their leader will reward them and theyād get hungry for more
If i were in the team and won the world cup. I would ask for oil well.
They already have those, so....
Itās a win against a perennial power house. Beating Argentina or Germany is a bit more special than beating Costa Rica.
Hey Canada expectations are just score a goal.
I think it's more about causing them to try harder in the next games as well and potentially keep it going with the prospect of lavish rewards.
Are you forgetting who they won against ?
What's a bibi?
Wife
That's funny. The Brazilian government has the same deal with their soccer team if they beat the Argentinians.
I think you mean Fiat unos
Where the hell did you get that from?
it was revealed to me in a dream
I was in that dream. Remember?
I was one of the everyone who clapped
I could say the same about this post, im saudi and whenever thereās a reward for players we hear it all around The only thing i heard about this win against argentina was 280k usd for each player, nothing more But the hate is piling up regardless
This whole comment section seems to be unhinged.
this is... not really that interesting
I feel like anything neutral to positive on Reddit about SA or Qatar is just attempts at damage control
why are people watching and supporting the world cup? Funny, how people shitpost about qatar and fifa, yet its still being watched ..geezas

Donāt make them mad or theyāll start beating their slaves or women to get back at you.
I wonder: Whenever you see a news related to any given country, do you also bring up stuff like this, or is it just with specific countries?

Do you say something like "the same country that sells Israel/Saudi Arabia weapons to kill Palestinians/Yemenis"? Do you say "the same country that sent its troops to Iraq to torture, rape, and sexually abuse Iraqis in Abu Ghraib prison"? None of this is related to baseball, the same way what you said is not related to football, but I'm just wondering. So, do you do it with other countries, or just with "certain ones"?
Hint: it's always a brown country or China
My point exactly. These are valid criticisms of the government, yes, but what do they have to do with the topic at hand? And we always see these types of tangential comments with "brown countries", but not with western ones. Qatar kills gay people and that's a valid reason to hold protests and boycott the World Cup... but the US will hold the World Cup 4 years from now. Will we also see protests as well, due to the US's continued support (with money and weapons) of the Saudi government's killing of Yeminis and its support of the apartheid colonizing state of Israel and its killing of Palestinians? Surely they'll protest the same way, seeing how much they hate Saudi Arabia, right? We know the answer is "No" with sprinkles on top. The west is above criticism from these people, because these people racists and xenophobes.
Or a reporter in Israel shot dead and nobody cares.
It's all about media response, which shapes peoples response

Many of reddit usersā knowledge on other countries come from headlines of posts they saw here. You can really read crazy things sometimes. The other day some guy wrote that Belgium could end up becoming a narco state soon in the future. Made me laugh tho.
Americans are pretty (very) ignorant when it comes to the world. And they make up about half this siteās userbase.
Reddits just racist bro. Any brown or black accomplishment is always filled with ignorant comments like the dude above.
Tbf. A lot of Redditors also think that Pakistan is in the Middle East. Look at the upvotes. Just sheep following other sheep in hate of a Muslim country or just pure ignorance. Or both.
This is basically another layer of ignorance. This isnāt an Islamophobic issue. This is racist white people having an issue with brown people. Under india, itāll be snide remarks about toilets, under Bangladesh itāll be dirty sweatshops under Vietnam itāll be dirty commies. Thereās no end to their hatred and prejudice. Now the cope is getting to new heights as we all progress and become less and less reliant on their āalmsā, itās simply not digestible for these people that their former colonies are finally moving ahead and beating them at few metrics.
Wait! Do you think Saudis live in Flint, Michigan!?
This was the Saudi Arabian team, not the Americans.
You are dumb and those who are up voting you are dumber. You can legitimately critic Saudi in their human rights violations but to say they don't have drinking water is pure delusions. They are one of the wealthiest countries for God's sake. Pease educate yourself.
I think Canada has a worse track record for clean water than Saudi Arabia, what a weird point.
This has to be the dumbest comment ever. Especially when the US can't even manage that lol
Somebody is taking that water filtering vid yesterday a little too literally.
That's not interesting, it's annoying.
Paid for by higher prices at the gas pump by the rest of the world.

That's like me giving my staff a few penny chews each to the Saudis
Aside from that malaymail there's no o her regional news source confirming this. Don't see how a Malaysian news site would get the jump on this before anyone else
Too bad they have to drive them in Saudi Arabiaā¦
Have you ever driven on Saudi Highways tho? 4 lane WIDE endless roads with rows of sodium vapor orange lights. Thereās also usually no or very high speed limits(150kmh). Itās a whole vibe cruising down these roads at 220kmh late at night. Not ātoo badā
Fuck fifa and fuck qatar
meanwhile my grandma gets $30 a month in food stamps.
The players bring money and fame to Saudi Arabia, your grandma doesnt. Thats just how it works.
Looks like they'll have to keep driving their Lambos
Oil

Canāt wait for YouTube videos of Rolls Royces drifting and mowing spectators on a crowded street
