My twitter and facebook pages are cluttered with DCP from people who just have to express an opinion about pretty much everything that is the flavor of the season.
Lately, there are the highly annoying expert comments on football from people who barely know the sport or the players . Broadly most of the comments can be segregated into :
- Repeating the obvious -Examples being "Goal!" or "Looks like Germany will win"
or "Vuvuzelas are loud!" - you get the drift!
- Re- stating common opinions - like "Messi is God" - Hello! do you know anything about his background and skills and why he is referred to as one!? or "Maradona is showing his magic as a coach" - Do you know what football coaching is all about? Do you even know that he chooses players based on the strategy he sets? Do you know that there is a "strategy" to it in the first place?
- Pseudo Expert comments - These are usually based on the limited knowledge of the game but extrapolated into expert sounding comments. Most of the people tend to support England or think they are a strong team only because EPL shows up primetime on weekends and they have been going to the Man-U cafe with the crowds. Many people pretended to have lost their minds when Brazil was beaten, not knowing that their styles of play have changed over years and that they were indeed beatable. Next few days will see people anointing Iniesta as the God of football 'striker' s . Pity!
It is not about having an opinion. Of course you have the right to one. But please make sure you KNOW what you're saying and logic behind the same. Save the world of your DCP! (it shows when you make an opinion and yourself instantly put "like" on the same!
