After Argentina became the victim of maybe the biggest upset in World Cup history in losing to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, star player Lionel Messi said his team felt "dead."

In fact, the Saudi government made the next day a national holiday to celebrate the victory, but the players got the gift of a lifetime.

Each player was reportedly gifted a Rolls Royce Phantom for the upset.

It was the first time Saudi Arabia has won an opening match at the World Cup and their second win in their last five appearances. The squad defeated Egypt 2-1 in the final match of the 2018 World Cup.

Argentina came into the tournament ranked No. 3 in the FIFA rankings and were favorites to potentially win the tournament in what is seen as Messi’s final World Cup run. It is the first time they have lost an opener since 1990.

According to Action Network, Saudi Arabia were +2300 underdogs, while Argentina floated at around -900 as the heavy favorite.

A 2023 Rolls Royce Phantom's list price begins at nearly $460,000, according to Car and Driver.

The Saudis will next face Poland on Saturday at 8 a.m. ET.

Saudi: 40 million people...living on revenue from 10 million barrels of crude per day.

Nigeria: 220 million people living on revenue from 1.1 million barrels of crude per day...


Any questions.?

Anyone who reads the above and thinks that I am backing corruption and looting , better think again.

My point is simple. We are not earning enough money to live like the Saudis, and if we want to live above them, we need alternate sources of income.

And yes we need to fight corruption.

Again, we are not earning enough money. Even the Saudis...if oil drops to 10 dollars a barrel, they would be in deep panic mode.
