Football superstar- World Cup victory is a must
The recent match between Manchester United and Manchester City was a scorcher. It was a really thrilling game and was the perfect example of good quality football. Of course, people ended up getting red cards for major offenses. Unfortunately, this too is considered an acceptable advertisement of the rough and tough sport that football is. It is not a game for sissies and ninnies. Sensitive and delicate people are not invited.
The match saw Rooney put up a good performance. However, there are many who do not attach a lot of importance to his skills. They are waiting for him to perform well in a World Cup before they acknowledge his superiority. Strangely, Messi is also expected to contribute towards a World Cup victory before he can successfully claim to have become a superstar. The club segment is the one that provide football entertainment throughout the year. A World Cup occurs just once in four years. Despite this, people want the players to perform well in the World Cup before they can truly can claim the mantle of greatness.
The funny thing is that the club circuit has been around for a very long time. Still, there is no exception to this rule. From the fan on the street to the fellow players in the dressing room full of lockers - everybody attaches importance to a World Cup victory.
This is probably the reason why David Beckham will never be recognized as a superstar in football. He is a damn good player but will always be associated with one thing- World Cup failures. It is not a good thing to be associated with. The irony is that it is acceptable to punch a goal using your hand as long as it helps you win the World Cup. Playing it straight but not winning the World Cup is just not acceptable for the fans.
