FIFA CUP


FOOTBALL WORLD CUP:


One has to wait for four years for a final of a world cup football tournament. Lots of efforts, strategy, planning, physical training, and money go in to it. Some teams return very happy, others less happy and some others get dejected and a few grumble after the tournament is over. Lastly after a couple of months or years it may surface that such and such teams were involved in match fixing.
I do not like this game, because there is only one important event and that is a goal. Twenty two players run after a ball as if their life depends on it and the end result is 0=0, extra thirty minutes, still then the same score and the referee ask for penalty shoot out. After all, its a global event and you wait for four years to see this???
Why not have a tournament of twenty minutes duration with out off side rules???
Most of the time the ball is kicked out of play for safety or for wasting time. The police traffic card system comes in to play as if criminals are playing and that nauseating background noise (whether it true or fake I do not know), some say it’s a ruffian’s game.
After going through this write up some people will think this fellow is a freak one or a bastard!!.
My point is if one has to wait for a tournament for four years then one day extra should be reserved for replay or play to finish. It should be allowed to continue till deciding goal/goals are scored in stipulated and incremental time- no penalty shoot out.
I have a few more suggestions. The rule of the game should change, like first 30 minutes eleven players, next 30 minutes nine players for each team. After the break six a side till the end of ninety minutes. During extra time there will be no goal keeper.
Let’s give it a try. There is a great amount of media hype and craziness by football fans just to show he or she loves the game.
The game is thrust up on the people to say this is the greatest and best sport event of the world.
No doubt this is a fast game but to my mind,without real practical imagination on the part of game administrators internationally.
But there is no doubt that its one of the greatest shows of the world and let the show go on.
