[Football] Saudi League

[US Seagull]

I'm just curious, without looking it up (be honest ladies and gentlemen) who can:

1. Name a team in the Saudi League
2. Point to where they are based on a map of Saudi Arabia
3. Say what color they play in
4. Can describe their badge
5. Can name their stadium
6. Can say when they last won a trophy

I'll be honest, I'm 0-6 on that. I get about as far as Al-somethingOrOther

I could probably get some of these for most major leagues.

 

[ManOfSussex]

0 also. My concern at the Saudi League is at 100% though.

You spelt colour wrong there chap

 

[Is it PotG?]

They'll be doing Darts next

1. No.
2. Could point to some random cities and guess there's a club there.
3. Green maybe?
4. Big f-off eagle or something
5. I can't even remember what Falmer's officially called now.
6. One of them presumably won the Saudi League last year.

 

[Red Squirrel]

No, I don't know anything about the Saudi league. I'm sure Sky would want to cover the games. The BBC posted an article about the league and clubs and players involved, I didn't feel the urge look at it. They can buy whichever players they want, I won't be interested. I've never paid any interest in any foreign leagues.

If Henderson goes to the Saudi League is that the end of his international career?

1. Al-Hej Ma Betz

2. It’s rude to point.

3. Shady.

4. Stinking.

5. St.James Park.

6. Inter City Fairs Cup 1969.

0 to all off the top of my head but if you put a few team names up I’d recognise the one Ronaldo went to.

Still it’s a handy way for certain big Premier League teams to get round FFP by selling players to the Saudi clubs for silly money.

Same as you I'm 0-6, so I cheated and had a look. They are all Al-somethingorother apart from 2 teams.


Couldn't be arsed after that.

10 years time the Saudi national team will have Joined {bribed} Uefa to join them thus gaining entry to the Champions League

 

[allystrat]

Al Kebab or something?
Can see the World Cup going there for its centenary. Infantino would love it.
Wonder how many players would be wanting to wear rainbow colours.

 

[Van Cleef]

Apologies if already posted, but;

Al Nassr handed signings ban over Leicester debt

World governing body FIFA confirm ambitious Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr will not be allowed to sign new players until it pays a debt to Leicester City.

And PIF controls how many £billions?

This the same Henderson that call out the Middle East's human rights record?

Surely he wouldn't take the money.....

That will make for great interest when they’re drawn against Maccabi Tel-Avi and visas aren’t issued!

I work as a teacher in Australia and yesterday I wondered when a kid was going to claim they 'support' a Saudi team. Just recently many claim to support Argentina because of the world cup. One said Miami yesterday which was interesting but I guess they are big now.

For context the kid who said Miami also said Man city and PSG (told me what it stood for, which was nice) but had never heard of Brighton.

Do they still use the cane in your part of Australia?

 

[portlock seagull]

The Saudis are offering the kind of money you’d chop yer right hand off for.

 

[portlock seagull]

I don’t understand why stars want to play the desert. When Ronaldo signed, it was the straw that broke the camels back.

No, but he may be on the rough end of a crunching tackling at lunchtime today.
