Ghanaians really asking how Saudi Arabia qualified for the #WorldCup
Well considering that they didn’t spend half of their country’s annual budget on bribing Referees and Officials, I’d suggest you keep shut.

And then there is the  rest of the world going in………….

You can count on Saudi Arabia do two things:

1) Get wrecked in the #WorldCup
2) Do things that malign and embarrass the rest of the Muslim world

Safe to say most people think Ghana ‘deserved’ the spot than Saudi Arabia. But You’d have to be in it to win it.
