Migrant workers

 

They like their football in Tunisia.

 

Qataris don't work. They supervise and delegate. They prefer people who share the same religion for white collar jobs. Construction workers and domestic staff tend to come from Asia.

 

We certainly seem better at breaking down Arabian defences than other countries.

 

0-0 the year of the underdog

 

Iranians aren't arabs

 

I wanted to say Muslim but didn’t want to be accused of Islamophobia.

 

Are they? Some Iranians are Kurds but they're not Arabs either.

 

2-3% are Arabs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicities_in_Iran

 

Wowee. so 97-98% aren't arabs then,

 

But some are.Only 3% of our population is black, though you wouldn’t think that.

 

I never said there were zero arabs anyway, but it unlikely many of the Iran defence are arabs.

 

You said Iranians aren’t Arabs.

 

Which is true in general terms but pedants can't be pleased.
I should've said Persians aren't arabs
