Fifa world cup 22 some highlights India got opportunity to watch many games due to time zone.Out of 22 penalties 12 seemed to be flawed. The tough Brazilian referee was not repeated. The reviews many a times disappointed but gladden the opponents For the first time most of the stadiums were running full capacity irrespective of the Nations playing the matches Red by and large was a popular colour of choice both for teams and spectators. The dress code for ladies saw them dressed decently.Referring many a times left the spectators and players wondering about their decisions.Many a National teams performance was disappointing and unbelievable upsets too upto quarter finals.Japanese deserve a salute for cleaning the mess after the games New Stars on the horizon seen as old stars of yester years were pushed to the background and will fade away FOR many it will be their last world cup due to age.It will be a life long memory for those who scored for the the very first time and those that have more goals to their credit.Pity that some teams failed in penalty shoot outs and those who missed crucial penalties will repent for life The goalkeepers who were a saving grace for their teams will have the joy of being honoured as heroes Iran team for the first time refused in protest to sing their National anthem.Moroco is the only African Nation to be among the eight teams .The non whites players formed a vital part of many world teams and most number of players played for teams of other countries World cup in Qatar is success in matters of organisation, infrastructure and meeting the highest standards of international requirements Perhaps for a change many females were visible in various capacities enhancing women power.One officiating female referee would send a happy message of women liberation and empowerment Pele the soccer legend could not participate in the finals of world cup for the first time Many may not live to watch the next world cup too
