Confirmed - Arabs Suck At Soccer - Collective Face Plant At World Cup

Confirming yesterday's post - nice to get one call right.
[WorldFootball.net] - Arab dismay - and jokes - after mass World Cup exit

No-one expected Egypt, Morocco or Saudi Arabia to win the World Cup but for all three to crash out on the same day was a disaster for Arab football.

Between them they have so far mustered no points, the tournament's biggest thrashing and just one goal -- and that was a penalty.

The only Arab team now with any hope is Tunisia, and they face the task of trying to beat a Belgium side who some tip to win the World Cup, after losing 2-1 to England in their first game.

Reaction was swift across the football-mad region after the losses on Wednesday.

Many fans took to social media to joke that they now knew what FIFA stood for -- "Football Is not For Arabs".
