Profile:
Saudi Arabia qualified for their first ever World Cup in 1994 but only succeeded in making it to the second round of the competition. The following 2 World Cups brought even less success for the Saudi Arabians including an 8-0 thrashing by Germany in 2002 which did little to improve their rank amongst the worlds top teams. Given that they are still a relatively new team on an International level with a squad of very young players carrying the hopes of their nation, the Saudi Arabians have done well to at least qualify for 3 of the last World Cups. Whether they will reach the stature and high enough of a level to bring a World Cup title home in 2006 remains to be seen. Although already qualified, Saudi Arabia can be considered an extreme long-shot with unbelievably high odds.
