It seems the World Cup is getting closer and closer to our homes. It has not started yet, but the fever is running high. The supporters of the top teams have already become very active.

The request of BUET students to postpone their exams drew a lot of flak. There may be truth in the assertion that your studies are more important than football. But don't forget that the World Cup is arranged every four years. That is a long time. Football lovers could just feel deprived if they cannot watch the matches.

Well, it doesn't really matter whether Bangladesh are playing in the World Cup finals or not. Sports and games should not be viewed from that narrow angle!
