Well that's just not *chirps* Cricket!

It's been a while since my last post, but I've never forgotten about this blog, I just was never quite sure what and when to write. So what better way to make a comeback than on quarantine and procrastinating from uni assignments!

This year is the year of the 2020 ICC World twenty20 World Cup. Except it might be taking place in 2021, now that's a marketer's nightmare right there, if it wasn't already bad enough that they had to deal with a title worse than Kingdom Hearts' most egregious entry.

Now just from reading 2020 ICC World twenty20 World Cup, you could surmise it's a sports tournament of sorts, possibly taking place in the year 2020, and presumably of an international variety considering the "World Cup" in the moniker. However, what that long and unwieldy name doesn't tell you, is what sport it could possibly be. Surely there isn't a world cup sponsored by the International Criminal Court is there? Although to be fair, that's not entirely far off of what the ICC is.

The International Cricket Council suffers a terminal problem: How Do We Promote *chirps* Cricket?

The 2018 World Cup

I love football. In all of it's forms. From the clinical sides of the greatest European leagues, the passionate displays in international tournaments, the giant-killing of domestic cups, to the kids down the road that use jumpers for goalposts. I love to watch, to hear, to play this Beautiful Game like nothing else in the world. There's very little that can dampen my enthusiasm for it, despite the myriad of scandals that can and have arisen from it.It disappoints me for awhile, and then I'm back.

But there's one problem. FIFA. A textbook example of an evil, multinational corporate company that owns football completely. If it wasn't real it would be beyond parody what with the shenanigans they get up to. This makes FIFA sound whimsical when in all reality they are very much not. Any football fan worth their salt will tell you all about the ills of FIFA, how it constantly takes bribes and turns a blind eye.

But when you ask a football fan "what will you do?", the answer will be nothing. We love this game so much, that we put up with all the crap offloaded onto us.
