Football World Cup - The One Sided Story

I wanted to write something on football world-cup from a very long time as this the much talked about thing today. I always wanted to be a part of this debate but when I tried it appeared to be a one sided story. Most of the people are supporting Brazil (obviously everybody wants to be with favourites) until and unless somebody is having particular liking about some country or belong to that country. This had taken out the whole fun of it. When there is no difference in opinion there is no debate, no arguments. Even numerologists had proved with the help of the no. 3964 that Brazil is going to win then what is the point in enjoying the present when you already know the future, when you already believe that only Brazil is going to win.

Round 1 is over and knock-out stage had already started. Just try to look at the other teams also. Germany team is full of energy under Ballack with Klose and Podolski already on fire. Argentina is showing some mastermind strategies. They had already shown their hunger by routing Serbia 6 - 0. France got the will-power and England got the stars like Rooney and Beckham. The point is every team is as promising as Brazil, then why all of us are so biased. I feel in some way Brazil team is over hyped by people like us only. If you observe, their defense is weak and can be penetrated with ease. Their star players like Ronaldinho are struggling to convert chances. If you leave the last match, even Ronaldo had disappointed his fans so far. Kaka is not that dependable and Carloas is missing his usual fire.

Still most of us support Brazil because everybody wants to be on the winning side and we had already announced them as champs this time also. Let us wait and watch what is the result going to be but one thing is sure, victory will not come their way so easily. As far as I am concerned, I will support any team other then Brazil. Afterall somebody should be there to support others also and make this football world cup lively with arguments and debate.

BEST OF LUCK everybody...........................except Brazil
