RIYADH: Egyptian fans were most certainly feeling a sense of deja vu as they watched Saudi Arabia take on Uruguay in their World Cup opener on Monday.

Also like the Pharaohs, Saudi Arabia will feel they deserved more from the game, even if they would have gladly accepted a draw against one of the tournament’s strongest sides before kickoff.
