What’s the story with Shalhoub?
To a western media, he looks like a child and really young (less than 20 years old). This is definitely what happened with a French channel according to arriyadiiyah, that insisted he was below 20 years old.
To us he is a different person. He is 25 years old, but is treated among his teammates as a small brother. Its funny to see him, whenever he scores, to be picked up and carried around by his teammates.
Muhammad Al Shalhoub, known also as Little Marodona among folks in Saudi Arabia, is going to be a player of great interest among observers of the World Cup. Even though he doesn’t have the physical strength and body mass like his teammates, he posses a golden brain. He is a talented mid-fielder capable of creating scoring opportunity and also scoring by himself. Precision is what he is really good at, as he is critically good at kicking foul shots from outside the penalty box.
He is one great substitute that Paqueta hopes to use in case there is a need to re-energize the mid-field.

Shahed,
why is Shalhoub always used as a substitude? He scored so many important goals. Remember his 2 goals in the match against Kuwait.
Fingers crossed for the match this evening!

Explorer,
the match starts at 18:00 CET. I don´t know if you are one hour ahead or behind
I have no idea, whether there is a source. I think, that there will be no live-stream from Saudi Arabia. Maybe you could find one on a Czech TV Station.
Good luck!
