For the Love of Football

What does football extremely mean to Bangladeshis? Is it just an amusement or is it a party that has come to even the remotest corners of the nation?
 

'A few people trust football involves life and demise', said the unbelievable Liverpool supervisor Bill Shankly. 'I can guarantee you it is a whole lot more critical than that', he included. Football isn't just an amusement.

In the course of recent decades, the game has experienced a renaissance that spread over the globe. Amid the 80s, football turned into an exceptionally well known diversion in Bangladesh; in any case, with transmission achieving an ever increasing number of individuals, it was imparted to an ever increasing number of individuals amid the 90s.

 At the time of private satellite TVs, link and the web, now, individuals approach all and any worldwide occasion and they scarcely miss anything. 

Tomorrow, 2014 FIFA World Cup will have its first match; the nation has been wearing distinctive hues since a week ago with the most adored groups' banners flying everywhere. In any case, is it just occurring in the urban communities? Is football fever obliged to urban communities, is it excitement for urban inhabitants? I should state it's substantially more than that. My calling as an improvement columnist takes me to the core of Bangladesh, to the rustic scenes and its kin. As you probably are aware, I have been shooting outside since the mid 70s, I have seen the want for stimulation of the provincial individuals, generally agriculturists who live the nation over incorporating into remote corners of Bangladesh. 

The situation has totally changed since the year 2000. The group of onlookers just improved in Bangladesh – the interest for diversion climbed fundamentally. As I was recording a couple of days back at a town in Chandpur, I saw youthful and old ranchers working in the fields wearing Brazil and Argentina pullovers! It extremely astounded me. When I moved toward them, they could without much of a stretch perceive a few players from the worldwide squad of these two intensely well known groups and stated, 'My partner is presently my adversary'. 

'Maradona will dependably be my most loved player', said Jamal, a Brahmanbaria agriculturist. At this period of globalization, ranchers are extremely quick to observe every one of the amusements. In spite of the fact that power is a major issue, it won't hinder diversion; they are completely arranged with batteries. 

'We'll remain wakeful the entire night and watch the amusement', said a Dinajpur agriculturist, Jamal. 

'Regardless of whether it's difficult to work at day time?' I inquired. 

'Unquestionably', strongly answered Jamal. 

'I'm a diehard fanatic of Brazil and love their Samba play', said rancher Nurul Islam from Jamalpur. I asked for him to move a bit for the group, however he was extremely bashful. Business is likewise going great and individuals are purchasing new TVs at the towns in front of the recreations. 

'I bolster Brazil as they have green in their banner and my paddies are green', said an agriculturist named Tajul from Bogra. I really wanted to value the straightforwardness of the agriculturist's musings. 'Indeed, even the political pioneers are currently supporting a similar group', said insightful, shrewd agriculturist Rahman from Feni. 

Ranchers could without much of a stretch perceive Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo-in any event these three; a couple of other football aficionado agriculturists could likewise perceive the names of Marcelo (Brazil) and Di Maria (Argentina). The youthful ranchers even know the playing style, 'Tiki-taka'. I was so shocked to take in this from a youthful rancher named Lutfor. 

I can recollect that I could just recall 'divider passing', yet I haven't heard this style of football anyplace, however just found out about it from a youthful country persevering fellow with a major grin on confront who can't sit tight for the World Cup to start. 

Somewhere inside my heart, I generally had my fantasy to help out the ranchers, uncommonly when they are in any kind of emergency. Excitement programs made for them is tied in with perking them up. 

I continued reasoning how we can better create TV programs for agriculturists, the country individuals, and for the individuals who have determinedly attempted endeavors to guarantee generation of nourishment for the general population of Bangladesh in the midst of different natural and financial chances. 

This is the place the thought for 'Krishoker Eid Anondo' (Farmer's Eid Celebrations) sprang from. Eid is the most distinguished merriment in our nation and I saw that the three-day Eid extraordinary projects on TV slots were essentially centered around the urban group of onlookers and dismissed the rustic individuals. From that point forward, I generally asked why there were no uncommon projects for provincial individuals. 

In this way, I chose to make one. I should share my experience of airing Farmers' World Cup Cricket in 2011 where ranchers from Mymensingh's Charpuliamari concocted their own indigenous thoughts and arranged the whole field without anyone else. 

The eagerness of agriculturists for football is basically endearing. I made a narrative amid the 2006 FIFA World Cup, yet over the most recent eight years things have surprisingly changed, and a couple of days back I went to Sirajganj and orchestrated a football coordinate between two representative groups, made out of ranchers, calling the groups Brazil and Argentina. 

This match will be broadcast on Channel I soon. This diversion isn't only an amusement, yet an awesome accomplishment of the agriculturists I thought. Since the diversion was sorted out for them to have a great time, for their excitement, rather, they engaged us more than whatever else!

I trust these energetic agriculturists will continue delivering and collecting crops paying little heed to the difficulties they confront, maybe like the 'Tiki-taka' style, while they rapidly 'pass' and 'move' around the 'short' changes in the season, working their aptitudes to guarantee that harvests are created, in light of the fact that lone they have 'ownership' of the capacity to sustain about 160 million mouths of Bangladesh. By the day's end, regardless of whether we city occupants acknowledge it or not, the ball is dependably in their court.

Contingent on what part of the world that you live in it will have the effect on what sort of Football you watch and take after. For some, this is viewed as the American leisure activity instead of Baseball for others. 

Notwithstanding which write you incline toward on the off chance that you are a fan that you will tail it from start to finish. This is a game that can be unpleasant and intense and once in a while it can even get savage now and again too. This might be the reason a larger number of men take after the game than ladies. 

Each group has its own uniform and its own particular hues. There are additionally a wide range of positions that every player can play too. Be that as it may, a standout amongst the most critical and the most took after position is the quarterback. 

He is the pioneer of the Football group and alternate players have a tendency to tail him and take his lead. American football utilizes the quarterback to make history the ball to alternate players. Be that as it may, others sorts of the game don't utilize this situation on the field as they really play by various standards. Be that as it may, every one is considered important as much as the other. 

Another type of the game is otherwise called soccer in different parts of the world. There is additionally Canadian, Gaelic and Australian also. Every one has fans that take after their most loved group dependably all through the season. The game of Football backpedals hundreds of years and has developed throughout the years. 

You can see that the group beginning playing in suites in the absolute starting point and they developed into wearing garbs in various hues to differentiate each group one from the other. In the soccer match the goalie wears an alternate shading shirt to keep him partitioned. In the American game the quarterback wears the same as whatever is left of the group. 

You may likewise find that the season every one is played might be distinctive also. However, things they have in like manner are that they have around a similar measure of players on each group, they play on a particular field and the focuses are scored by putting a ball between objective posts.

 Each sort of Football has these things in like manner regardless of which part of the world you live in. It can help you when you are viewing an alternate kind of the game. 

You may locate that every year the tenets could change. The classes endeavor to assess what has occurred in the earlier year to ensure that the amusement remains fun and that there are less wounds on the field. 

A considerable lot of the players are paid exceptionally well to be on the group and relying on the position they play, to what extent they have been playing and how great they are will have any kind of effect in what they are paid. Football has been around for quite a while and it will be around for a considerable length of time more. On the off chance that you have never watched a diversion attempt it as you may like it.
