Will Brazil sail into World Cup?
The World Cup Football 2018 South America Zone qualifying round begins next month. Ten nations in single group will meet one another at home and abroad. The top four nations will sail into the final round of the competition involving 32 teams, while the fifth team will wait for a play-off match.
Since in total 90 matches will be played, it will take at least two years to complete the qualifying round. It is because the fixture has been prepared in such a way that it does not affect European interests.
But all attentions are on Brazil’s future in the next World Cup. Many soccer critics predict that the highest five times World Champions Brazil under Coach Dunga will fail for the first time to cruise into the final round of the World Cup Football if the country’s football confederation does not slash him for an European coach.. Hearing it, a friend of me said, Argentina, Chile, Columbia and Peru/Paraguay are favourites in the South American zone.
Brazil once was source of revenue and artistic football. It now produces disgusting and despairing performance. Many of my friends have stopped the practice of watching football match involving Brazil. In fine, all of us will now wait for Brazil’s saddest history.

Most shameful work
What the two men committed at a village under Kalihati upazila in Tangail district is the most heinous and shameful work we have ever heard. How can a man rape a woman in front of her tender aged son and how can Police shoot at the procession demanding justice?
We want fair investigation into all incidents and exemplary punishment to the guilty. Every one should know that Allah will punish every wrong-doer, particularly those who infringe upon the rights of others.
