According to reports published on the X network on June 22, 2026, the Arab football fan community is in an uproar over possible scenarios for the World Cup knockout stages. 1SMi_ points out that if the Saudi team wins against Cape Verde, and simultaneously the Uruguay team loses or stumbles against Spain, the Saudis may meet the Argentina team in the round of 32, as part of the struggle for the top of the group.
The report, which received wide exposure of over 569,000 views, includes a skeptical tone from fans regarding the team's lineup. 1SMi_ added a cynical comment regarding the inclusion of the player Salem Al-Khaibari, saying: "Wallah, he won't win with Salem Al-Khaibari in the lineup."
This issue received further echoes on the network, as tatt_11 also echoed the same sharp criticism towards the team's emerging lineup (according to tatt_11). It seems that while fans are excitedly analyzing the sports scenarios, there is great tension surrounding the professional decisions of the coaching staff ahead of the decisive games.
