Be the first one to get fantasy football tips, dream11 prediction, Indian Football Team, Live Football, Football Match, Football World Cup, News and make Dream11 Football Team. Sports are loved all around the world for a variety of reasons. Not only playing sports on a regular basis helps you keep a certain level of fitness, but it also helps infuse a degree of competitiveness in you.
Why football comes first? There is no need for special equipment, or settings, with one ball enough to engage you and your friends. One ball and some markers as goalposts; maybe carved out on the wall, and you are set to go. An almost negligible cost of playing is the biggest reason why no other sport can come even close to rival the popularity of football. Or being followed by the fans all around the world. Football has its own perch carved out at an insurmountable mountain.
India is ranked 105 on FIFA’s world rankings. Last year, India was amongst the top-100 football nations in the world, but an inconsistent run cost Sunil Chhetri and Co. some crucial points. In fact, India football team head coach Igor Štimac is already feeling the heat after the team’s less than convincing start to the FIFA World Cup Qualification campaign. India lost 0-1 to Qatar in their opening WC Qualification Asia game, won 2-0 against Bangladesh and dropped two crucial points after Stimac’s men could only manage a 1-1 draw against Afghanistan.
Moreover, Belgium remains the best team as per the rankings, with France and Brazil placed at 2nd and 3rd.
Playing in the FIFA World Cup may seem unrealistic for Indian Football Team at this very moment, but there’s the belief that it could change in the near future. The level of football is always improving, with players such as Sunil Chhetri, Gurpreet Singh Sandhu and Sandesh Jhingan, to name a few, taking the level of play to a whole new level.
Indian Super League (ISL) is also a step in the right direction. It has replaced I-League as India’s premier domestic football competition in India. There is a genuine sense of professionalism associated with the sport now and the football market keeps growing with a better influx of income and players earning better wages than at any other point in the history of this sport.
The next edition of the Football World Cup will be held in Qatar in 2022, which will only be the second time when football’s marquee event is being held in Asia after South Korea and Japan co-hosted the tournament in 2002.
FIFA World Cup 2022 will also be the first world cup to be held during winter, i.e. in November and December. As per sources, the group stage games are scheduled to start on November 21 and will be wrapped up on December 2. Since the next edition of the world cup will be an anomaly, Europe’s domestic football season has to make some tweaks in order to complete the campaign. There will be a winter break, during November and December, when the world cup is held, while the 2022-23 season is likely to see a jump start, with July being seen as a possible date.
Arguably the showpiece event in football. The cities turn into ghost towns and the movie theatres become abandoned buildings when the FIFA World Cup is going on. It is the single most-watched event in the entire world, rivalled for viewership only by the Olympics.
The first Football World Cup was held in 1930 in Uruguay and has been a quadrennial event since then, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held due to World War II. One of the biggest features of the FIFA World Cup is that every team has to earn its place. Rankings don’t help in any way when it comes to qualification to the world cup. Only the host nation is guaranteed a spot in the marquee event. The 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers began in June 2019 and are expected to finish in June 2022.
Only 8 countries have got their hands on the famous world cup trophy, and only two teams managed to win back-to-back world cups; Italy in 1934 and 1938 and Brazil in 1958 and 1962. And there has been a different football world cup winner since England’s one and only title win in 1966. France are the current world cup champions, who won their second title in 2018, by beating Croatia 4-2 in the final.
