[85884] Sharp criticism on social media towards the Saudi Arabian national football team


Saudi fans express deep frustration following the national team's performance, citing players' names both positively and negatively.

Outrage among Saudi national team fans following the match results

Following the recent football events, social media in Saudi Arabia has been storming with criticism towards the national team. According to a report by JstMsh, fans have divided their attitude towards the players sharply and selectively. While certain players received public gratitude, including Abdulelah Al-Amri, Mohammed Al-Owais, Saud Abdulhamid, Muteb Al-Harbi, and Tambakti, the rest of the team members faced sharp criticism.

The harshest criticism was directed at key stars. According to JstMsh, the author noted cynically that Salem Al-Dawsari looked like someone who "got on a flight to Riyadh without even taking his suitcase." The critic added a stinging remark towards Abdullah Al-Khaibari, claiming he should be "left in the heart of a gang neighborhood in Mexico," alongside laconic and dismissive criticism towards the player Kanno.

The original message, which also resonated on the asmahanksa account, reflects the deep disappointment prevailing among the Saudi fan base. The content focuses on a combination of selective appreciation for prominent defensive players, versus public humiliation of the midfield and attacking players, which indicates dissatisfaction with the tactical and individual performances of the team on the field.
