Disappointing Day for Football 🚨 Today, we witnessed an appalling moment in the FIFA World Cup qualifier match between India and Qatar. Qatar Football Association illegal goal against India was a disgrace to fair play and sportsmanship. The lack of VAR for World Cup qualifiers is inexcusable, and the officials' failure to make accurate decisions on the field today was truly disheartening. FIFA 's refusal to implement VAR in such crucial matches is a blatant oversight that undermines the integrity of the game. How can we expect fair competition when the technology that ensures correct decisions is absent? This incident not only reflects poorly on Qatar Football but also raises serious questions about FIFA's commitment to fairness and accuracy in the sport. To see the beautiful game tarnished by such actions is a sad day for football fans worldwide. We demand better from both the players and the governing bodies to maintain the sanctity of the sport we love. #FIFA #Football #WorldCupQualifiers #FairPlay #IntegrityInSport #FootballIndia #QatarFootball #Disappointment #VAR #Sportsmanship #FairCompetition

Portugal vs Slovenia, penalty shootout—the first in the 2024 Euros. And, did it break records. This was the shortest penalty shootout in both Euros and FIFA World Cup history. The previous record was 7 penalties taken, once in the Euros (Turkey vs Croatia) and on three different occasions in the FIFA World Cup. Diogo Costa became the first men's goalie to EVER save three penalties in a shootout at the Euros. While just scrolling through Diogo Costa's heroics last night, I came across Geir Jordet and his book "Pressure: Lessons from the Psychology of the Penalty Shootout." Jordet discusses how the moments before a penalty shootout can teach us valuable lessons about managing pressure. Fascinatingly, during EACH of the penalty shootouts in 2022 World Cup, the teams that won were those whose managers spent the shortest time giving instructions after extra time. Naturally, I checked if Portugal finished their instructions before Slovenia did, and they did! This teaser by Geir has intrigued me enough that I am looking so forward to reading his book.

🔥💥 Myth Buster: Is IPL Bigger Than the FIFA World Cup? 💥🔥 🌟 Fact: Contrary to popular belief, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is NOT bigger than the FIFA World Cup. 🏏⚽ 🔹 IPL might be a cricket extravaganza, but let's look at the numbers: 🌍 The FIFA World Cup is the most-watched sporting event globally, with an estimated 3.5 billion viewers! 🏆 The IPL, on the other hand, attracts around 600 million viewers, mainly from India. 🔹 While the IPL undoubtedly has immense popularity, it falls short in terms of the global reach and impact that the FIFA World Cup enjoys. ⚖️ My opinion: Both events are remarkable in their own right, but let's not overstate the scale of IPL. It's a thrilling cricket tournament, but the FIFA World Cup remains the true giant when it comes to global sporting spectacles. 📢 What's your take on this myth?
