The matter of white and black is not new in soccer; perhaps it is as old as the game itself is, and when we talk about one of most racism regions for color difference, its South Africa to be named first. We have seen this nation suffered so much coz of its white biased culture and the same State is the host of FIFA’s 2018 world cup which is the biggest soccer event involving entire world to be precise. When the biggest event of a highly emotional game comes to another sentimental State, as far color of players is concerned, it doubts everyone whether event can smoothly be completed or not. Take example of a recent Champions league match between Manchester City and Russian club CSKA Moscow at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, though City won the match by 2-1 comfortably, but its midfielder Yaya Toure faced the heat of what the ground reality in Russia is. He was perhaps the prime target of monkey chant echoed throughout the stadium during the game, in fact, he was so disappointed with the … [Read more...]

Soccer fraternity always blames that whole world is biased towards male soccer; hence other side of soccer lacks good stadiums, infrastructure, and everything else that male soccer enjoys throughout the world. Though, looking at the past few women soccer events, no one can complain about the level of infrastructure; perhaps, grounds were filled with cheering spectators as we see during male soccer games. Take an example of biggest soccer event: world cup, the whole world is talking about Brazil, protest, tickets sale, and everything happening in this South American state, but there is one more international soccer tourney, also called world cup, to be held in 2015 in Canada and whole world is behaving like they don’t know about this event. But, Canadian FA has promised to organize this event in a never before manner with top class stadiums, world class infrastructure, actually everything this event has been missing since always. Accordingly, Canadian FA president Victor Montagliani has … [Read more...]

No one can deny the fact that terror is an unsolicited reality in contemporary sports; perhaps many organized gangs use popular sports and ask government agencies to agree on their demands. Many countries strictly handle them while some countries, on some occasions, also agree on terror groups demands on a gun point. This time, one of the biggest sporting event’s fate is on stake, coz one of biggest organized Brazilian gangs has warned severe terror attacks on highly crowded venues during the event. This threat has come after government scattered all the gang prisoners to across the country to break their communication network. Notably, the gang called First Capital Command is one of the biggest and professional terror outfits having more than 11000 active members; this gang is special coz there are professionals of every field in it; hence if they are warning something, administration needs to look at it and prepare how they would tackle them in a real world. Apart from world cup, PCC … [Read more...]

Exaggerations for the next year’s Brazil tourney are on the peak after FIFA announced October edition of World Rankings. This month, these rankings are worth watchable coz they will decide how the seeds will be decided for the upcoming world cup. Accordingly, top seven ranked teams will join Brazil in Pot 1 on December 6 when World Cup draw is taken place. Looking at the top seven teams of October, anyone can be amazed not to see Italy in the list, apart from them, Netherlands is also not in the list; however, if Uruguay does not qualify for the FIFA event, Clockwork Orange will replace them. Otherwise, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, Uruguay, and Switzerland will be in the Pot1. One surprising name in the current list is Switzerland which has gained a seven place jump from its fourteenth spot last month after their magnificent show against Slovenia and Albania which also shunned Italian chances indirectly. These rankings could further change before WC seeds coz FIFA will … [Read more...]

Protests against World Cup have taken a new shape in Brazil by including a political support blaming FIFA to exploit Brazil by pressuring local administration to agree on its terms. Everyone has seen how devastatingly protests were during the confederation cup, in fact, it was once unsure whether world cup’s warm up event will be completed. Now, adding a political flavor, Brazilian congressman and former soccer starlet Romario has joined the community accusing FIFA to blackmail their country; perhaps he crossed ethics barrier too and used some harsh words against top governing body officials, including President Sepp Blatter and secretary general Jerome Valcke. What he said about them is: “a thief'” and “a blackmailer.” He cracked his strong words during a hearing promoted by tourism and sports commission last Tuesday. The ultimate objective is to ensure Brazil get its due share out of upcoming mega soccer event by encashing mounting foreign currency apart from an improved … [Read more...]
