wordsfromlee Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I heard a commentator say that 9 out of the 11 Saudi players all played for the same club team or something like that. Is that some kind of record for a World Cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking up their team from the 2010 World cup, it seems like the squad was made up of players from about seven different teams. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_squads#North_Korea Saudi Arabia is made up of five I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup_squads#Saudi_Arabia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Great question! I don’t think it was ever in a World Cup but there was a time when Ukraines outfielders were all Dinamo Kiev players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 22, 2022 Moderators Share Posted November 22, 2022 Yeah no live chat thanks. Don't make me keep coming back in this thread. My disinterest in football is finally paying off as I can profess to be boycotting it on moral grounds and get on my high horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 22, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2022 His first touch is almost as sexy as his sumptuous looks Mbappe was on another level tonight, truly magnificent. Him, Giroud and to a lesser degree Griezmann & Dembele are some force. The give and go's they were playing in and around the area...j'taime. Who needs Karim Blackmailer when you have pure sex?
