Saudis to go out with a bang
We were enthralled by Herve Renard’s team and their heroics against Argentina. Although they followed that with a defeat to Poland, there’s every reason to expect a spirited performance from them today. They won’t qualify for the last 16, but it’s been real guys.

Number 22 against Poland will add another layer to the great man’s legacy.
