For many years there has been an argument in sports circles regarding the partaking in sexual activity prior to and leading up to a game, match or prize fight. I mean even in the movie Rocky 1 the Italian Stallion had to say “Yo Adrian no fooling around” the night before he met Apollo Creed in the square circle.
Word has come out of the Ukraine soccer camp that coach Oleg Blokhin has decided to use the promise of sex for his players if they reach the semi finals. Ukraine, playing in their first World Cup finals, have been drawn in Group H, along with Spain, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia!
My take on this is that if Ukraine stuns the soccer world by getting that far, why you would give the boys a reward, rather then hold off until they win the grand prize. Most coaches think that depriving players of their personal freedom gives them a soldier mentality and keeps that “eye of the tiger” mentality.
Japan is coached by Brazilian legend Zico and 11 members of Japan's 23-strong squad were veterans of the 2002 World Cup finals on home soil, Nakata said only four struggled through France 1998 when Japan made a winless, one-goal debut on the big stage.
Without the advantage of home field and the support of millions of Asian fans, I look for Japan to get bounced early.
I know we encourage our young adults to speak their mind and make a difference in our society, but I’m not sure that officials at Bangladesh University are teaching students, to burn property in the street, when they have a demand. Seems like several students in the one of fifteen dormitories on campus, were unhappy with the quality of the two television sets in the lounge area and decided to throw them in the street and ignite them. This was their way of displaying their anger, as the country awaits the beginning of the World Cup.
