World cup is just a tournament and not a war. The print and news media are giving so much importance to it as if India is pitted against enemies and winning or not winning would decide the future of country.I too love the game,wish India win,but would not break my head if fail to.The hype created cause disheartening , peole become violent and some times commit suicide.I mean all hthis is simply silly.So best of luck for India.
However the team which would play better is likely to win.Pl.comment

World Cup is the biggest tournament and I dont see any issue with the media hype. We see media hype in soccer world cup too...This section is for cricket fans and if someone is annoyed with it, he can avoid surfing this section. It's readers choice what they want to read. Anyways what choices do media have to discuss...politicians...dirty politics...corruption...crimes..Jobs..Indo-US deals...Iraq war...science(discovery channel is taking care of it...and i m sure not too many ppl understand very latest technology)? I am happy atleast sports can give us small respite from routine life..
