Isn’t it time for a flag??

It’s almost time. Count down time has come to the last hours. Now less than 24 hours remains before the largest cricket tournament starts. Tomorrow with the inauguration ceremony, Cricket World Cup will starts its one and half month-long journey.

This is the first time Bangladesh is hosting such a big event.  And Bangladesh is now ready for successfully host the event. BCB and Govt. upgraded  tje stadiums in Dhaka and Chittagong and decorated those two towns  wonderfully. I have seen few pictures of the stadiums and areas  around those stadiums. They look so nice that at first I didn’t believe it is in Bangladesh. But yet all the preparation is not perfect. There are some mismanagement. But I guess we can ignore those mismanagement because we are hosting such a big event for the first time. May be we will be perfect in next time.

Talking about mismanagement, Ticket distribution was the largest one. But still our people were patient enough to stand in queue for 2 days. This indicates how much excited we are for the world cup tournament.  And I guess we are so excited that we forgot to rise our national flag to show our support our national team.

During the FIFA world cup, entire Dhaka city dressed with  the flag of Brazil, Argentina, England and other countries. No one raised Bangladesh’s flag because Bangladesh didn’t play in FIFA World Cup. But what about now? Bangladesh in playing in ICC World Cup and it is hosting the tournament. So It should place even more flag that we did during FIFA world cup.

There is a logic for not placing and flag. That is flags placed during in FIFA world cup to show which team the person supports. There were different flags because people were supporting different nations. But this time everyone is supporting only one team and that is our national team. So people are thinking, I guess, “there is no point showing which team I am supporting”. But still we should raise flag and show our support to the national team. This is the least thing we can do and I’m sure this is not too late for that.

 

Old Blog 1: what shuld I write about

What should I write about? There is so many things happened in last few days. Should I write about the awesome moments at YES!’s room or the things happened to me in Marketing 460 and Management 314 group. Should I write about first anniversary of NSU Bashundhara Campus or my upcoming busy schedule in next week? But I thing I should write about Football World cup.

In few hours FIFA World Cup 2010 going to unveil itself after four years.  People calls it greatest show on Earth. Don’t know about whole world but I should say whole Bangladesh is shaking in football fever.  I have seen thousands of flags in the buildings and cars of Dhaka city. In every area there are flags of participating countries. No I should say flags of Brazil & Argentina. Of course there are some other flags but they are too few to talk about.

These two countries, Brazil & Argentina, have successfully divided us in to two groups which AL & BNP was unable to do. I saw a family who are divided into two group.  Son is supporting Argentina, Father and daughter are supporting Brazil. As son said Argentina is the best team ever, his dinner was suspended by his father for two nights. 😛 I hope my mother won’t do that kind of thing to me (I support Argentina and she supports Brazil).

Well what I wanted say was we, Brazil & Argentina supporters, are placing our favorite countries flag. We are competing with others about the number of flags. But it’s a matter of shame that we don’t place these much flag of our country in special days. In International Language day, in Independence day or Victory day, we don’t want to wave our flag. It’s a matter of shame for us.

Another thing to say. Load shedding have increased last few days. I’m facing load shedding after each one hour. According to news papers it will continue few more days.  I’m thinking whether IPS sellers made any kind of deal with DESCo. DESCo should increase the load shedding so people who are victim of World Cup fever will be worried about the football matches and they will try to purchase IPS as soon as possible. It will increase there sell.

It’s tough to say which country will win the World Cup. But my wishes will be for every country participating in this tournament.  And another request to everyone. Take this tournament only as a game. Don’t do anything stupid or be serious for it. Last time I was there was a fight between Argentine supporters and Brazilian Supporters. Some people got injured in the fight.  Please don’t do anything like this. If any of the country wins, they won’t do anything for you. Don’t take your dedication to your favorite team that high which will result hurting your friends. Good luck to everyone and get well from the football fever soon. 😛

Whom are you betting on tonight?

 

Tonight is the big night. Tonight is the closing of month-long “greatest show on earth”. Tonight is the final of the FIFA World Cup 2010. Closing ceremony in now just few moment away.

Month long football show will end with the final match. Tonight the final match will give us a new champion. Champion of FIFA world cup 2010. Best two team of this world cup Spain and Netherlands will fight each other for their first world cup. Netherlands have the experience of playing final but spain is playing final for the very first time. Both of the team is on form. It’s really hard to predict who is going to win. On matter who wins, the match will be interesting. Because the winner will be the 8th county who have won the cup. 7 country won the last 18 world cup. Brazil 5 times, Italy 4 times, Germany 3 times, Argentina and Uruguay 2 times and England and France have won one time only. So the winner of the great tournament will have the honour to be the part of history as the new champion and winner of 19th world cup. So who is going to be the winner. Amazing predictor octopus paul have predicted that spain is going to be the winner. Another octopus paulin from Netherlands have predicted that it’s going to be Netherlands. A parrot from Singapore also thinks that Netherlands is going to be the owner. I think spain will be the winner. Who do you think will be the winner? Whom are you betting on tonight?
