Save the floating migrants :People from developing countries are adopting illegal, risky and dangerous ways to migrate to advanced countries in hopes of better living conditions. Many of these unfortunate people have already met with tragic fate at sea and other places which is really heart-breaking. It is true that some countries are helping the suffering migrants by supplying them with food and rehabilitating these unfortunate people. But it is also upon other rich nations to help these people.Professor M Zahidul HaqueSAU, DhakaStill there is a slim hope Bangladesh is already out of the World Cup Football 2018 Asian Zone final round, buts there is still a slim chance to sail into the final round of the Asian Cup Football 2019. The next continental championship will involve 24 nations for the first time. From the underway second round, eight group champions and four best runners-up will cruise into the World Cup Asia Zone final round and the Asian Cup Football final round.The remaining 24 nations will again be divided into six groups of four for the continental cup. Two top teams from each group will fill up the remaining 12 spots. So, Bangladesh should regroup themselves under the new coach from Italy.However, our national team’s performance so far is disappointing. They have one point only in four matches and 12 goals deficit. So, to advance to the final round of the Asian Cup will not be easy. They will have four more matches in the second round, of which three are away matches. At home, they play Australia in November.Former footballer Chunnu, and captain Mamunul are optimistic about the team’s performance. I also hope that Bangladesh may qualify into the final round.Abdullah AkberDhaka
