Any translators? Saudi Squad
Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman hasn't made any public appearances and no news/photos of him been released since the April 21 shooting in royal palace in Riyadh. Wasn't even in any of the photos when Pompeo visited Riyadh end of April.
My acid test to verify numerous rumours about him being wounded (or maybe even killed) is the world cup opener. No way he'll pass up the chance to be in the VIP box in Luzhinsky for the Russia-Saudi game, seieng how much money he's ordered spending for the national team, setting up all those lucrative friendly matches.
If MBS still hasn't been seen by June 14 and doesn't show up in Moscow for the opening match....then fair to assume something very fishy is up.
I still can't believe Saudi (who have so much $$) didn't keep Van Marwijk after he qualified them for the WC after 12 years due to disagreement on new contract, and now he'll be managing Australia instead at the WC.
