BD-Australia match matters much for both
Visiting Bangladesh meet hosts Australia today in Perth in the World Cup Football 2018 and the Asian Cup Football 2019 qualifying round. The result of the match will decide whether Bangladesh will be able to survive early elimination, as five more matches are still in hand.
With one point only from their first two matches, Bangladesh will have to earn at least one point from the match with far superior Australia in both skills and physical fitness. Though captain Mamun has promised of playing good football against a professional side having experience of playing four times in the World Cup Football and an assistant coach has asked the nation to wait for a respectable result, the hosts will show no leniency, as their main rival Jordan pose a great threat to the Oceania nation.
Asia Champions Australia are 10th in the continent according to the latest FIFA ranking. Can we hope for an upset result?
Let us also hope for the best for the booters.

Know the ideals first
We often hear calls for building the nation on the basis of the ideals of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, but never those ideals are explained. Unless I know something, how can I contribute to nation building?
In this regard, I shall request every one to read the book ‘Ausampta Atmajiboni’ (Unfinished Memoirs) written by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. If we read it, we shall be able to know many untold stories which took place during the writer’s early life. The success of the great leader is that he did not distort what happened between 1940 and 1954.
I think, every one of us should read this book.
