Saudi Arabia declares national holiday after World Cup victory over Argentina
Tunisia also had a decent start with a tie against Denmark, while Morocco is the most likely of the teams from the region to advance far in Doha.
Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina 2-1 at the World Cup in Doha today. Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz declared a national holiday for all private and public sector employees and students to commemorate the victory.
The win was a major upset, as Argentina — led by superstar Lionel Messi — was among the favorites to win the World Cup, while Saudi Arabia is not considered a contender, according to sports handicappers.
