haha yer give em that.
I briefly saw a article mention they are pushing to be in the CL !
TBH nothing will surprise me anymore whilst Infantino is FIFA Pres.
I'm even more pissed he's italian but am I surprised he's power/money hungry
IMO he's screwing up football.

yes, I know they're repressed but fuck me.

I don't think they realise they are repressed, they don't know life any other way - well the general pop.
I have a close business associate there - I was just with him few weeks ago for a conference in Cancun.
Talking generally he has a happy outlook it seems, we talk about football - he says its great, the young King is brilliant, openning up their country, infrastructure investment like mad, Malls here there everywhere.
Women having license's, allowed in shi sha bars nowadays, so I reckon they are enjoying the changes as long as you do nothing "wrong" haha
I was there not long ago "pre war" and last Dec, planning on being there early Dec again incl a industry show in Dubai.
We see it our way and I agree but they see it totally opposite that is not surprising.

I don't believe the actual league is FOR their citizens mate.

Roberto Mancini walks away from Saudi Arabia after 14 months as coach

Will they get a bounce or not?
Hopefully not!
