It looks like Saudi Arabia ended up finishing better than their 2002 performance in Korea. In the World Cup finals just four years ago, Saudi Arabia got stomped 8-0 to open things up. It was to Germany that they took the embarrassing lose and they were probably hoping to make up for that this time around since the Cup was in Germany. While doing better than that this year, their inexperience showed with a devastating 4-0 lose to Ukraine and an embarrassing lose to Spain following it. Not the performance the team was looking for this year.
