The Football World

- Harsh Nema

Football is played in every corner of the world.

FIFA has more members than UNO.

Almost everyone of us has once played football.

You need to agree, nothing but Football could be the sport of we human beings? Watch this World Cup; it can beat Olympics in terms of it’s world wide coverage. Football has created it’s own gods and demons, winners and losers. No game in our history has given us so many moments of ecstasy and despair than Football. It also presents a humbling playground where everyone is equal, where else would we see USA and UK struggle against Algeria.

Yet we at this corner of the world; we nurture a small dream that our nation – one day we too would play in the FIFA World Cup Finals. We will have our very own Kaka, Messi, Rooney along with our moments of triumphs and despair. Imagine a day when we will manage a draw against Brazil and in next few days will be beaten by the Portugese by a  huge margin .

Let’s hope that one day we would be recognized as a country that kicked the ball instead of only hitting it with sticks and bats . For now though, we can enjoy the Football world from the sidelines.
