In the previous post, I talked about the rising sale of TV sets ahead of World Cup Football 2006. However, more than TV companies and traders, workers in tailoring shops are working day and night to make thousands of flags of the participating countries in World Cup. In the major cities, these flags are flying high on almost every roof. In some roofs, you can see more than one flags indicating that the people of the house are supporters of different teams. Well, most people in Bangladesh support either Argentina or Brazil and it seems that Argentina has a little bit more support. Perhaps, the only reason behind such enormous support base for Argentina is the charisma of Maradona. Some flags of Italy, Germany, Korea and Japan can be found too.
Well, I myself is a big fan of football but what I lament during every World Cup Football event is that in Bangladesh, millions of people forget everything and just get busy with World Cup. In the offices and educational institutes you can find tired and sleepy faces who have spent whole night watching football in TV.
Thank you for writing on the football crez of Bangladeshi people. I agree with you that every offices and educational institutions goes through the football fever of wporld cup.Here it is noteworthy that the best engineering and technology university in Bngladesh 'Buet' has declared one month vacation on the demand of the students. Different TV channels have already started to broadcast some programs like world cup review, possibilities of the teams, their strong andweak points etc.
