Saudi Arabian football authorities are investigating an error that led to the Syrian national anthem being played before a match against Lebanon.

Several Lebanese players were visibly angry when the wrong anthem was played before Saturday's game, reports say.

Officials at the stadium quickly realised their mistake, and eventually played the correct national anthem before the World Cup qualifying clash.

Lebanon went on to lose the match in the Saudi capital Riyadh, 2-1.

I guess you either didn't read the article or are totally dense to history. I mean, didn't you hear what just happened in Lebanon a little while ago?

Alot of my friends are Lebaneese. I have so much respect for them it's unbelievable. Here is a quote from the article... maybe it'll give you a little insight:

Syrian influence in Lebanon remains one of the most divisive issues there.
