It was such a celebration. Saudi Arabia won over Argentina for the football match held yesterday. Yesterday, the classes were really chaotic. Students couldn't concentrate in their classes. Everybody was watching the match even during their classes. They couldn't be controlled. My head instructor, being a Saudi national, also was watching during the office hours. Finally, the Student Affairs officials knocked on our doors and told students to leave early because it is their holiday. It was holiday because Saudi won the match. Nothing I could say but OMG! The winning really came as a shock to everyone and others were even suspicious the win. And today the king declared it is an official victory holiday for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

@Neil43 Soccer is a worldwide sport that has a huge fan base worldwide even larger than American football.

I read about that. That's exciting when a team wins that was not expected to win

Yes. I heard as I am not really a fan of football. I am not updated with anything about it. So, it came as a shock when they lost.
