Think they’ll blame the loss on one of their daughters and commit an “honor” killing to make up for it?

These pics give me nasty flashbacks to the exit-poll announcement that day, when we were all clutching the pearls and fainting.

More tears were shed over a soccer gamne than a bomb going off in a market and killing 500 people.

I think the Saudi team should have a foot cut off as punishment. Thats the treadition in those parts isn’t it?

Definitely! or perhaps solid black, then they'd all look like the Mohammod cartoon.

You probably said that in jest. But I'd bet money there's a correlation to the number of deaths there next week.
