 The Saudi's strolled to qualification but face a tough time in Germany against Spain, Ukraine and Tunisia. They'll hope for a better start than in 2002 -- they were battered 8-0 by this year's hosts.
World Cup qualification as an obstacle? Not for Saudi Arabia's soccer players. The team confidently completed the qualifiers and won the top slot in Group A ahead of South Korea. |  In addition to old hand Sami Al-Jaber, who shot two goals in three World Cup tournaments, strikers Mohammad Al-Shlhoub and Ibrahim Al-Shahrani belong to the pillars of the Arab team. They are joined by 24-year-old Yasser Al Qahtani, the country's most expensive player. His club Al Hilal paid 10 million dollars (8.4 million euros) for the forward's services. |
