Saudi players gifted luxury cars after upsetting Argentina

After Argentina became the victim of maybe the biggest upset in World Cup history in losing to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, star player Lionel Messi said his team felt "dead."

That makes one of them, because the Saudis sure weren't.

In fact, the Saudi government made the next day a national holiday to celebrate the victory, but the players got the gift of a lifetime.

Each player was reportedly gifted a Rolls Royce Phantom for the upset.

A 2023 Rolls Royce Phantom's list price begins at nearly $460,000, according to Car and Driver.

There is at least one generation that can hear that word usage without pain. I can't do it.

Rolls Royce is actually nouning a verb.

Big deal. It's not like the cars can be neatly and safely stored in a safety deposit box like the Rings.

Just wait until Tommy loses his hair and starts scuttling around the seafood counter in Stop and Shop looking for some nice fishies wearing nothing but a thong.
