Amitabh Bachchan on ‘unfair decisions’ in tournament
He wrote at the beginning of the post: “The schedule and the concept of time have gone wrong. The reason is of course the 2026 World Cup.. It was a strange time to see and made our day worse.. but we saw we cheered and we had remorse.. it pained us so much to see the unfair decisions that were made for one country and not another.. we were excited about the victories of countries that we never thought would compete in a World Cup challenge. Most famous footballing nations have failed miserably.. It’s surprising…but wonderful that people we never imagined put in the fight and got the recognition. They keep saying ‘may the best team win’…but we never know who the best team is until the results come out. “He further added, “Most teams play against each other for their countries and have participated in tournaments and other tournaments and the players are common. Many players who play for England also play in other tournaments and the England team members know each other and their game. Friendly and competitive off the field as they represent their country.” It’s a strange situation, but the game goes on. Just like in IPL, players play for different teams and become each other’s rivals… but when they all come together for the national team, they become a unit and character is needed. ““The rapid changes towards improvement are a boon.. Young people see and benefit from it.. Elders express surprise and wonder why this did not happen when they were young.. Now it is too late.. It’s a satisfaction to be very late to witness what will happen in the next few years.. we won’t be there, but our young will.. to a certain extent. There is a bit of sunshine around where I live and I need to soak up as much sunshine as I can.. It’s been months since I’ve seen the sun,” he concluded.
