International Football ( A few thoughts on the Confederations cup)


Confederations Cup has ended with all the drama and typical Brazilian magic along with the typical Spanish failure and some underdogs performing well in a big stage.

I am a bit disappointed to see the standard of the pitches and the stadiums in Africa and on top of that I could not stand the noise of those horns in the crowd and at this point I am not sure that the greatest competition in world football will be a great success in notorious Africa.

On a brighter side, some veterans like Henry, Ronaldo, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Gatusso,Pirlo ,Terry,Puyol might outshine the new kids in the block specially the famous group of C.Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi and Torres.Or it might be the other way around.

The lack of involvment of people in the International competetition has proved that the club football is slowly but surely overtaking the magic and beauty of National game.I hope England with the hype of their stupid,aggsagerative and big mouthed media (who are actually talking about England winning the world cup after their unbeaten run in an easy qualifying group) can cope with the pressure of as stupid fan base.

I can't wait to see Dunga and Maradona being sacked after their terrible run in team management and I hope that those stupid horns and banned so we can hear the chants and cheers with the classic beat of drums in the crowd.
