The 2014 FIFA World Cup was hosted by Brazil, the first held in South America since Argentina 1978, and was the first occasion where consecutive World Cups were held outside Europe. Early World Cups were given to countries at meetings of FIFA’s congress. The locations were controversial because South America and Europe were by far the two centres of strength in football and travel between them required three weeks by boat. The decision to hold the first World Cup in Uruguay, for example, led to only four European nations competing. The decision to hold the second of these in France was disputed, as the South American countries understood that the location would alternate between the two continents. Both Argentina and Uruguay thus boycotted the 1938 FIFA World Cup.

The India National Cricket Team has lost both their opening fixtures and now depend on other teams in their group for a spot in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2021.

Following India’s loss to Pakistan, they were faced with a must-win situation against their other four remaining opponents.
Just by sending Rahul to open alongside Kishan, you are disturbing your set top-order with Kohli pushed to No. 4. Not just the batting order, the shot selection by the Indian batsmen also was poor. You may blame it on the slowness of the pitch, but the Indian batsmen have spent enough time and played enough cricket, especially in Dubai in the recent past, to judge the pitch early and play accordingly.
Given Afghanistan’s potent spin attack, decent batting, and most importantly, their penchant for standing up to the bigger teams, they will be India’s bet against the New Zealanders. Their campaign taking another hit with a second successive defeat, India will need to win all their remaining matches while hoping that other results go their way to keep their semifinal prospects alive in the T20 World Cup. The impact of the Homeless World Cup Foundation extends far beyond the 500 players who attend the annual event.

When captain Kohli congratulated his Pakistani counterparts after the match, photographers fervently captured the bittersweet moment and many social media users proudly gushed over it. Some described it as an expression of rare sportsmanship – one that remains unspoilt by the political fault lines that underpin ties between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. As the attack grew, many people, including veteran cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, spoke in support of Shami. And the Indian Cricket Board tweeted a picture of Shami along with team captain Virat Kohli, who has refrained from commenting on the controversy so far. The T20 world cup prize money has increased from when the previous edition took place in 2016. The cash reward for the winners will be $3.5 million.
Cricket players have been able to use social media for commercial reasons – they earn followers and become influencers, she says. Experts say a lot of this fanaticism has abated with time. Mr Memon says this could be because the Indian team has done exceptionally well in the past 10 years.
The cumulative viewership of all matches of the 2006 World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet. There’s always planning going into the game, but this was a great performance against a side that puts up a fight. The surface wasn’t easy to find rhythm on, and the way the openers came out really set things up for the chase. It’s just about adapting to the conditions as well as we can. The way the spinners kept applying pressure was commendable and it was a complete performance.
The rotation policy was introduced after the controversy surrounding Germany’s victory over South Africa in the vote to host the 2006 tournament. However, the policy of continental rotation did not continue beyond 2014, so any country, except those belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments, can apply as hosts for World Cups starting from 2018. This is partly to avoid a similar scenario to the bidding process for the 2014 tournament, where Brazil was the only official bidder. In 1914, FIFA agreed to recognise the Olympic tournament as a “world football championship for amateurs”, and took responsibility for managing the event.
For each tournament, FIFA decides the number of places awarded to each of the continental zones beforehand, generally based on the relative strength of the confederations’ teams. The FIFA Confederations Cup was a tournament held one year before the World Cup at the World Cup host nation as a dress rehearsal for the upcoming World Cup. It is contested by the winners of each of the six FIFA confederation championships, along with the FIFA World Cup champion and the host country. The first edition took place in 1992 and the last edition was played in 2017. In March 2019, FIFA confirmed that the tournament would no longer be active owing to an expansion of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2021.
