They live soccer
More than 440 million people in the Arab world. They are going through a unique moment in their lives: they are living the Qatar 2022 World Cup as their own. That's how they live it because that's how they imagined it for more than a decade and that's how they built it.
"Soccer is the only thing that can rival religion in the Middle East," said James Dorsey, author of the book "The Turbulent World of Football in the Middle East" and one of the journalists who best knows the reality of soccer in the region.
They are in the majority
Tunisia's supporters were in the majority against Denmark at the Education City stadium. Men and women were in full color and cheered on a team that knew how to play with intelligence and authority against a European team with prestigious pedigree. What you see every day in the streets was transferred to the stands.
He has no ego
Coach Didier Deschamps, did not clarify whether Kylian Mbappé will be in the starting roster for the final match against Tunisia, noting that if he includes him it will not be because of the player's "ego".
"Physically he is doing well, there is no need to look after him, the problem would be his ego. Kylian has no ego, he is an important and decisive player, but he is always part of a collective framework," said the coach.

Gives little importance
Khazri, Tunisia's player spoke ahead of their matches, giving little importance to the record of the top scorer of the national team, stressing that he is not a striker, being proud to be the second place.
"I give little importance to the record of the top scorer of the national team. Frankly, I attach very little importance to it. As I like to say, I'm basically not a striker. I simply score goals because I like to score them, I'm often well placed and people put me in a good mood. I'm not obsessed with the goal at all. Being the second best goal scorer in the national team is already very nice and I'm proud of it. I don't have this idea in mind to go for the record. If we get out of the groups without me scoring a single goal, I'll sign with both hands and feet."
