World Cup Fever

Belgium was out last night. But I still have one last hope with England tonight. 

Uruguay side seemed unarmed when Cavani couldn't make it to first eleven. The other team mates were mentally disturbed. Luis Suarez was alone to hit the target. Surprisingly Argentina have conceded more goals than expected from scintillating France. Messi was blamed for it. Spain was another big team who was axed by the Russians. Gerard Pique had not done enough was the reaction.  

When many rejoice the world cup, few Thai families mourn for 12 boys and a football coach who were trapped in the Thai cave. However, due to international help, good fortune and weather conditions have favored the extraction work of all 13 beautiful souls successfully on time, just before the the first world cup semi-final. Heroes were the cave divers and the doctors. 

But on the other hand, Ip Man was heavily paralyzed by his physics and mathematics syllabus. Some local researchers have found out that some of his brain cells were damaged severely and some have started to corrode. The cause of his brain damage was due to excessive sleep and his sluggish nature. 

"GOAL" was declared. Offside flag was up. In the centre few players have exchanged some punch and few have already blown up their nose. Kylian Mbappe was booked for Yellow Card for unnecessarily wasting time. However, referee settled to call on for VAR (Video Assistant Referees) to assess on the damaged caused. Everyone waited for the final decision. He came back only to resume the normal game but ended in penalties. 

With this technology in place, trust between referee and the players is at stake. So far referees decision have worked so well for any level of football games. Referees decision should be final and binding if the conscience was clear and fair. I am bit worried about the revolution of artificial intelligence versus the future of human. Seriously, workmanship is at risk!

My little daughter have supported team Japan for their fair play but couldn't withstand Belgium in their first knockout phase. I have supported Belgium for no great reasons though. Belgium has a wonderful team squad. One reason could be because of the amazing performance put up by Kevin De Bruyne. He is someone who can cover the full pitch. His energy, creativity, pace, intelligent passes and the fair play are something to admire on the ground. He is one player who have changed everything for Belgium right from the start. 

Germany made a great mistake by axing the entry of Leroy Sané to the squad. He is a young and talented player. Power to finish well in the front. He is the world class player. Manager's poor choice of the players was to be blamed.

Messi and Ronaldo continued to leave the world cup stadium at the early stage. Neymar Jr. have progressed but just to finished up his world cup gala at the hand of Belgians. However, those who made in squad were born to play football game and extraordinary in their football talents. But Neymar to the most extravagantly clever to seek referees attention at the slightest touch by his opponents. Nonetheless, Luis Suárez have save his dives and the bites. The opponents were lucky, maybe because of his age and wisdom. He grew wise and old. 

Football is a game of team work. On the other hand individual talents, skills and commitments are necessary.  

Mbappe have robbed the world attention for his skills versus age. Although young and talented and skillful. However, I did not like his behavior on the ground. He need few discipline classes to be great footballers. But time will only tell his football career. 

If France wins this world cup, Kanté should be given  a golden boot for being the most silent and the efficient player.
