Amitabh Bachchan on ‘unfair decisions’ in the tournament
At the beginning of his post, he wrote, “Timelines and the idea of time are gone .. the reason of course is WC 2026 .. the times that can be seen are strange and make our days even worse .. but we see that we are happy that we have regrets .. and we see with great sadness the unfair decisions that are made for one and not for the other .. and we are excited for the victories of those Countries that we never thought would reach the challenge of the WC. Most of the famous and famous Football countries lost with great regret.. that’s strange .. but happy with the fact that what we don’t think is fighting and getting recognition. They keep saying ‘may the best team win’.. but we never know who the best team is until the results come out.”He added, “Most of the teams that play each other for their Country, play in Competitions and other Championships and the players usually.. so many who play for England also play in other Championships, with the members of the England team and know each other and know their game.. friendly outside the ground, competition because they represent their Country.. it’s a rare situation, but the game goes on. Like IPL the players play for different team franchises, and become competitors with each other..“The rapid change towards prosperity is a boon .. the young people see and benefit from it .. the old people express surprise and wonder why it didn’t happen when they were young .. and now it’s too late .. too late to witness what will follow in the coming years .. we are not there, but our youth and that is a satisfaction .. of sorts. There is little Sun around where I live and I need to soak up any little I can.. haven’t seen the Sun for months,” he concluded.
