The World Cup Fever
World Cup is the Crescendo of the Sports concerned and it is long awaited by its Fans. As far as Soccer is concerned it was not as popular throughout the World as it is now until the live telecast in the Television began. But the present technology has brought in many Soccer fans that wait for the World Cup to start. The waiting makes them feel too long and restless. The time between the last day of the World cup and the starting day of the following World cup to come is the period of chastisement for Football addicts. The long wait for four years may be worth for Soccer fans because they feel that the World event begins with that starting kick off. The long waiting may be a punishment but once the Game is started the pain in waiting vanishes away by the explosion of cheers, support, encouragement, discouragement sometimes, applause and proud winning of their favorite team etc. The eight groups of thirty-two teams from various Countries which compete for the World Cup Trophy and their respective Nation’s pride gives an end to the painful wait for the Soccer fans. World Cup really identifies the basic nature of a Country that takes part in the game. Every Soccer Fan has the feeling that their team should follow the rules properly and exhibit best behavior. Soccer Fans are sure to get a treat as the likes of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Beckham walk their wares on the road to Football glory in the 64 grueling and exciting Matches that are going to be played. The Soccer World Cup Matches are dominated by Brazil and is one of the best Teams playing on the World Cup. Brazil has won five World Cup finals out of the seventeen World Cup Matches since 1930. Italy, England, Germany and Argentina are the few countries who make Brazil’s way through the finals a difficult one. Though the other champions are talented they should realize that it is not an easy job to win Brazil. Other than Italy, England, Germany, Argentina and Brazil the top ranking countries in FIFA’s list are Spain, Mexico, Netherlands, Czech Republic and the United States. These teams with little effort can easily win the Championship and hold their place. The Country that wins the World Cup Trophy has to keep it for the next four Years which they have justly earned and deserved it. A Tournament becomes the best with all this rich history, glorious pride, legendary Teams, prominent Personalities and beautiful venues. A game like World cup Football brings together Teams from different Countries, with different cultures under one roof. Unity is the base of any Game. Though the Teams play against each other it is only in the field not out of the field.
