Anti World Cup Fever

Anti World Cup Fever !

Now is the time for industries to persuade people to watch World Cup 2010 Tournament at South Africa. A tournament followed by 32 teams from countries representated from five continents. I saw many merchandises available at Indomaret, a chain of retail group of mini market stores in Indonesia. Television advertising also filled by football and word cup ephoria for many goods and services like hair products and baby milk. I think it is impossible to ignore football at next months in Indonesia. People here like to be popular, speak popular games and feel very awesome to be listened by others to speak about it. For me it is only a game, just a game! just it ! Wiseman said that fanatism will kill you anyway ....!

I am sure that the tournament is important and make money for people around that industries like sports apparatus industries, event organizers, entertainers, etcetra. Look at your television ! many singers and actors speak about football fluently as they are never know about this sport before... Behind them are industries with big capital ! big money ...!

The good one for me from this game is the human resources management and leadership done by coaches. How they make strategies to achieve the goal, and we often saw the lucky opportunities at this game. Fanatism, hooliganism, bonek -ism, jak mania's trouble is not a good things for our next generation.

Many people use World Cup as a way to bet ilegally in Indonesia. As gambling prohibited in Indonesian law, some people still did it ilegally. Football also disrupt kids mentally. My nephew could be used as the sample. His father as a fan of italian football team that always allow his son to watch the game at late night. It made my nephew feel lazzy to go to the school at the next day.
