Saved the Worst for Last

Ok, it was a mildly exciting finish, but the last match of the first round of the group stage was a duel between the two worst teams in the tournament. Tunisia, by pulling the goal back in stoppage time to draw with Saudi Arabia 2-2, effectively knocked both teams out of the World Cup.

Neither team was ever going to advance anyway.

This game had the look of a Division II college match. The Saudis probably deserved the three points, but who cares?

Ukraine, despite their abysmal performance today, has nothing to worry about.
