At what point do we change the title to "Saudi's agree to stand in silence in their own half of the field which isn't as pretty as standing in a line and pretending to be sad about something which doesn't relate to them at all, but let's over react before we know the facts anyway"?
A bit wordy...
The FFA (Football Federation of Australia) have confirmed that the Saudi's agreed to be silent and move to their side of the field during the minute to respect the Australian custom (which was not in keeping with their own)

Genuine question (and this isn't trying to catch you out), were the Saudi players talking? I personally didn't see any and also noted them applauding once the minutes silence finished.
So.....they didn't ignore it.
They just didn't stand in a nice line. Basically respecting Australia's right to hold a minutes silence for their loss, without lining up under a false showing of joint grief.
Got it.
