Fucking dicks.
Low as fuck seeing as it's about respect for the victims who died.
I would like to hear the Saudi side of the story, I can't see them not giving a moment of silence.
Yeah, I guess it is what it looks like the #7 guy on the Saudi team did stand for a moment of silence but it looks like he was the only one. Not sure why the Saudis would be disrespectful.

Alright I'll link the original article: https://www.theguardian.com/football...attack-victims It was availabile on Mirror too. Al-Ahli Saudi arabia took part in minutes silence in the vs Barcelona game. You don't see any disrespect there and they have pretty close to 100% Saudi Arabian team members here. The other examples were indeed from other countries, but they are Gulf countries as well whom share common culture.
Common culture doesnt mean squat. If the Saudi team and officials say it is not a thing they do, that is one thing. So to me it doesnt matter if UAE has a moment of silence. Thats why I asked about the picture. However in the link you provided it seems they have, at one point, held a moment of silence. So they are caught in their own lie.
Side question, does moment of silence, mean you must stand still and act focused on tribute?

You do not deserve and therefore can't expect the respect and sympathy you didn't show. I am not sure which country this is, but they for sure do not have love for Australia.
I think they were well aware that they were gonna offend alot of people by doing so and did it anyway, this tradition is a well known move to respect and show solidarity with victims of disasters.
It doesnt matter if you're a muslimsor a christian or an atheist. Heck even we in Iran do this. as was done yesterday night for the parliament attack.
"Its not part of our culture" sounds like a lame excuse considering that its a well-established global norm.
