LG Cup decision on a penalty shoot-out: Tunisia 3 x 1 Uruguay
Bad Nauheim is a local amateur team (their town approx. 40-km North of Frankfurt), against which the Saudi Arabian side played their last warm-up practice match, before the World Cup. Prince Sultan Bin Fahad Bin Abdulaziz, president of the Saudi Soccer Federation and reportedly fond of motivating his players (both by talking to them and by offering attractive cash incentives), watched his side smash the local boys 15 x 0.
