#RoadToRussia
Are you ready?
Since its inception in 1930, countries all over the world, soccer players and die hard fans revere it. All nook and cranny dream of the prized possession, all begin to understand and assimilate to other nationalities to present a unifying front in support of their team and players of choice. For soccer players in the tournament, one distinct word will rule over the 64 matches that will be played and the word is RESPECT.
This famous trophy that has lived through several years came into the picture just after the establishment of the League of Nations to seek to unity and bring cohesion to states in the world. The idea was put in place and was embraced by people coming together and participating to get the golden trophy and URUGUAY had the last laugh being its first host and winner.
Avid fans of football know one or two things about the world cup such as how Brazil is a favorite of the cup’s winning streak and how Germany won the last world cup. Hours have been counted to the first group stage match up .The stories, tales, documentaries that have been read and watched are just a tip of the iceberg compared to the spark in Russia. The cup, to many, is more than just a possession for the Gurus but also a unifying factor for the world at large. This is one of the few forums fans, players, scouts and viewers all over the world cheer, marvel regardless of race, color or creed.
Nations like France, Brazil, Egypt, Senegal, England Portugal and Belgium are on the watchful eye of fans critics and World Cup fanatics. Many are set to watch matches of the cup drawing from the 2014 World cup that had a riveting 3.2 billion fans tuned in to it. This is one way that people are together in thought and adopted patriotism and an equality of sorts.Through the tournament, cohesion will immerse itself from all the 7 continents to celebrate the most popular sport in the Globe and moreover coming together, a literal humanity at crossroads if you ask me.
It will be a duel but one for the most fit. There is no question on Africa receiving support from its inhabitants past the Group stage. Our insurmountable support go to those leading the assault, from Senegal, Egypt and Nigeria. Russia will be at Center of it all, the enactment of SDGs and MDGs that seek to foster unity and peace among all Nations. Holding such events of unity show great courage at the face of adversity from extremist groups. A world of brotherhood and one free from extremism ,intimidation and racism.
