The unabashed worshippers from the Kingdom got down on their knees to thank Allah not once but twice during their 2-2 comeback draw. Then after the match, they got up to take a stand against all that is evil in the West, Mr. Busch. No not George, unfortunately, but Anheuser.
Saudi players don't accept man of the match awardAs the article points out, the award ended up going to the Tunisia's Jaziri player so no harm, no foul. But who'd want some frat-house souvenir beer mug as reward for being the game's best performer, anyway?
