The Galactic show is back - World Cup Football 2010 !
Amongst the monotonous telecast of every-other-day-played-cricket , a Welcome relief comes in the form of World Cup Football 2010.
The world looks so united and euphoric this season. We rejoice over the game – the Heads , the Passes , the strategic Goals , the excitement , the ravishing celebration – truly Football is the most celebrated game in the world.
The Giants – Brazil , Spain , Portugal , Argentina , Germany , Italy , England all geared up for the display - the skills cumulated over the four years. However , this game too has a very high share of uncertainty when it comes to winning the match. Apart from the widely accepted winning and strong teams , there are many Underdogs who can turn really formidable and unstoppable at times. The past World Cups has innumerable instances of so.
The one point that turns World Cup even more formidable – is the reality that OFF World Cup ,no matter however celebrated big team you are , whatever no of matches you might have won – If you havn’t lifted that Cup ever , then It’s all in Vain !
And at such moot point , all the teams seems to share only three Mantras for the World Cup –
If you had won , Retain the glory,
If you had ever won , Revive the glory ,
And if you have never won , Attain the glory !
Words and fun apart , we Indians would still have our share of agony – obvious from our so prominent absence in the World Cup. Not that we are devoid of talent , it’s the culminated disinterest to pile up the talent which is to blame. The money , time and fame spent on Cricket has been so sky-high , that little room is left for the survival of the other games. Its high time that we are awake of the long lull and give Football and the nascent talent , the attention it so badly deserves. And yes – to have our very own Indian team of high repute.
Till then , let’s enjoy the one month show !
