Roy Keane’s opinion on Saudi Arabia left Gary Neville hilariously slumped over the table
Roy Keane left Gary Neville sprawling over the table in laughter during a chat about the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.
Keane and Neville joined fellow pundit Micah Richards for a Sky Sports promotional video ahead of the tournament which kicks off this Sunday.
The trio chatted about who would make it through from each group. As they touched on Group C, which includes Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland, Neville picked Argentina as the favourites to top the group.
The former Manchester United full-back then spoke about Saudi Arabia, saying: “Saudi Arabia will bring tens of thousands of fans because they can just drive over the border.”

At this point, Keane said: “But can they play for them.” Which left Neville and Richards in fits of laughter, with Neville then slumping across the table in front of him. A hilarious moment between the pundits.
Keane later said Saudi Arabia will not be strong enough to get through the group and picked Mexico as the team to go into the round of 16 alongside Argentina.
As the trio approached Group H, which includes Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, Neville took the opportunity to make a joke about Keane still being on the good side of the Portugal captain after Ronaldo criticised Neville in his interview with Piers Morgan.
Neville said: “We have got Portugal [against] Cameroon. Cristiano, your mate, Roy.”
Keane replied: “My best mate. If he's still there. Listen, if he's been taken off, he might have left by now.” Neville then said: “You have got him on speed dial, haven't you? You have got him on speed dial.”
🗣️ "A pent up frustration"

To which Keane said: “Sorry for defending an ex-teammate. You know, I'd defend you Gary, if you behave like that.”
