Russia Vs. Saudi Arabia: Russian President Vladimir Putin Shakes hands with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after the First Goal

Worldcup truly unites the world, that's one of many reasons it's called The Worldcup Football. We saw Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman shaking hands in a friendly way after Russia netted a Goal against Saudi Arabia in Russian Ground. Was this a friendly handshake or did it say, "It is what it is", is the one question that everyone from around the globe is guessing?

 

Well, it's obvious that these two were side by side for more than one and half hours, and they could have talked so much about creating a better world since a Crown prince from the powerhouse of Middle East was alongside Europ's most influential precedents' Putin. When two most powerful men in the world were shaking hands, chairman of Fifa was right in the middle of them, not shying away from giving a gesture of happyness. Is this the power of Football, or just a formality?
