This
is the second time it is happening, first it was Ivory Coast and now Mexico. I am
shocked that there isn’t any remedial measure against these blatant cheating. We
all, placed thousands of miles away, saw it in happening. The penalty was given
wherein there was no foul, the teams were cheated by the system. Why cannot
there be a second referee, who could have easily seen the replay, and denied
the penalty? Atleast in case of penalties (which is as good as gifting goals) this
could be done. In the context of things it wouldn't farfetched to point out that both the teams to gain (ie Netherlands and Greece) are European teams. It is truly unfair, there isn’t any providence in these matters,
it is nothing but incompetence on the part of FIFA.
Mediocre Indians
peeps in:
Watching FIFA matches is always such a pleasurable experience. Unlike stupid market
friendly ‘sport’ like cricket there is no space for advertisement, which is
such a huge respite. The hooligans masquerading as sellers have seriously negated
watching experience (they have even invaded social media with their primitive gusto).
They lack basic etiquette and decency, as is the defining characteristic of
this section, they barge in with noisy and appalling ways to somehow make us
buy their product. Market friendly commentators even see them as agent of change!!
The uncouth young Indians also make their ‘smart’ presence felt with their easy
going ways, as if the product is because of them, worst still having these products
somehow make them smart as the inventor! Market apart from being ‘agent of
change’ has also severely degraded the cultural scene. Small time actors are
the biggest problem, hoisted by crude market, these pests barge into even wildlife
related channels. More than mediocrity it is the audacity that is astounding. They
consistently degrade institutions and propriety, and I am quite sure they are into
all kind of unethical activities, right from invading privacy and manipulation
for gain at the expense of people. Clearly market is helping dimwits to make
huge amount of money. They even can make decision of buying a car by watching
some stupid ads. Such is the quality of elite in a country where majority are poor
who cannot even afford proper meal. There surely is lots of black money doing the round,
many times what is in foreign bank…
Coming
back to FIFA, though we are saved by Indian presence through crude ads, but you
still cannot push them out. A small time actor, I gather, was anchoring the
discussions before the match. It also included another actor, whose claim, I am
told, was to have acted in a football related movie!! Such is the ways of mediocre
Indians. Anything that is degradable will be degraded is the motto, you cannot
really blame them, its india’s population driven feudal development pattern that fattens
these crass wonders. My only request is to show some respect to millions of
football fans by being professionals for atleast sometime, Brazilians will do
the rest.
