Saudis Advance to World Cup

Funny story. Of course, I remember the dread that the expats shared whenever the Saudis won a soccer game. Riots, bizarre behavior, and hellish traffic jams. Fortunately it didn't happen often. Story here. Great excerpt follows:

Many left their cars in the middle of the street to celebrate with their
compatriots on the roadside. Quickly the euphoria shifted into madness as Saudi
males attempted to frantically open taxi doors and give their mobile numbers to
the female passengers inside. It is a shame that despite their happiness these
football fans could not control themselves to a degree to keep the celebrations
to the roadside. On Tahlia Street traffic had become a mosaic of modified cars,
fans and Saudi flags honking their horns and setting off car alarms on purpose
in order to fill the night with their celebrations.
