'They come from a different culture. They just don't understand the point of being silence for a minute to show sadness.. we never do it in KSA,' one fan wrote.' The majority of the Saudi side are Muslim, and to honour the dead, it is understood they pray, give to charity and speak highly of the person, but rarely observe silence. Minutes of silence are a common occurrence in the Premier League, and Muslim players are not known to boycott the mark of respect. A spokesperson from the Football Federation Australia said they had been advised prior to the match that the Saudi team would not be taking part. 'The FFA sought agreement from the Asian Football Confederation and the Saudi national team to hold a minute’s silence in memory of those lost in Saturday night’s terror bombings in London and in particular the two Australian women,' the spokesperson said. 'Both the AFC and the Saudi team agreed that the minute of silence could be held.

The Saudi Arabian soccer team failed to line up for a minute's silence for the London terror victims on Thursday night. Fans were left outraged at the display ahead of a World Cup qualifier against Australia in Adelaide. Pictures show the Australian team lined up at the halfway mark, with the Saudi players appearing to ignore the gesture as they get in formation to start the game. It is also claimed Saudi players on the bench refused to stand for the minute's silence. It's possible the Saudi team did not understand the concept or were not told what was going on, but pictures show only a few members of the team paying their respects.
