The FIFA Fever
As a layman and someone who has
never touched the football in my life, the World Cup is as interesting as it
gets. The world cup is not just the best countries coming together to play and
win, it’s about the fans, the emotions and the pride of the nations. Saw a
wallpaper on my friend’s desktop saying ”Every four years the world has one
time zone”, honestly didn’t understand it the first time around. It took me a
couple of minutes to understand the gravity and the passion in Football for its
fans.
I have always followed the world
cup with limited interests with the exception of 2002 where I was following
each and every match that Brazil played. But with the advent of internet and
the reach of the social media in our lives, it is annoyingly impossible to stay
out of it. And once you start watching you just can’t stop it.
Each match is better than the
other, each more interesting and gripping. For a person who is not much
interested in sports overall, football is a game that holds you. It’s a game
that changes in a minute and then again is changed in the next.
The game sees big stalwart teams
getting kicked in the opening round. Defending champions knocked out in the
first round and underdogs coming and playing like champions. It’s a game that
is fast, that is always on the edge and can always go either ways.
While I don’t understand the fine
nuances of the game, the off sides and the goal line technologies I am hooked
to it ..I am starting late but as they say better late than never.
May the best team Win J
