Group H
Tunisia vs Saudi Arabia
in München:
The Saudi Prince was on the edge of his seat wondering if he'd have to get his chequebook
out, for win bonuses, until the final minute of injury time.

in Hamburg:
Saudi Arabia were never really in this game and if Ukraine had shown a little more hunger
they would have conceded more than four goals.

Saudi Arabia never had much chance to get the four goals needed to qualify, even against
the Spanish reserves.
