Bangladeshi Tigresses on the verge of FIFA World Cup Qualification

An enormous chance has been initiated for Bangladesh U17 girls to play in the e FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup 2020.
Bangladesh U16 women’s national team now has a shot at making it to the finals of the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup 2020 after securing their spot among the eight teams who would compete in the finals of the AFC U16 Women’s Championship 2019.On Friday, the Bengal girls beat a tenacious Myanmar side 1-0 at their home in Group B of the second round of AFC qualifiers to confirm their place in the AFC finals to be played from September 15-28 in Thailand. The AFC U16 Women’s Championship 2019 will double as the qualifiers of Asian confederation for the FIFA World Cup to be played next year. The top three teams from the AFC will go to play in the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup 2020 to be played in either France or India.As of now, both Bangladesh and China are safe to go through to the finals of the AFC U16 Women’s Championship 2019 after winning both of their respective opening matches of the second round of qualifiers.On Sunday, the Red and Greens will face off against their Chinese counterparts to decide the group champions.So far, six of the eight teams have been confirmed for the AFC finals. They are Thailand (hosts), North Korea, South Korea, Japan, China and Bangladesh. Two more teams will complete the pool after the matches of Group A of the second round of qualifiers are played.This would be Bangladesh’s third time playing in the competition after 2005 and 2017. So far, the Red and Greens have not managed to win any matches in the competition. However, the scenario could have been much different had Bangladesh not got a player sent off in their 3-2 loss against Australia in their final group match of the 2017 edition of the AFC U16 Women’s Championship.Nevertheless, the Bengal girls are stronger than ever this time around. The team scored a whopping 27 goals without a single reply in the four group matches in the primary stage of the qualifiers back in September 2018 at home.The girls showed no signs of slowing down as they continued to rain goals on their opposition beating Philippines 10-0 in their first Group B game in Round 2 of AFC qualifiers at Mandalay, Myanmar on February 27. The team then secured their place in the finals by beating hosts Myanmar 1-0 who were desperate to stop Bangladesh from scoring.The girls have been working harder and harder in the training ground under the supervision of head coach Golam Rabbani Choton and technical and strategic director Paul Thomas Smalley and it paid dividends which has been manifested in the recent results.The girls will now look to trump China to the top spot in the group and go to AFC finals at the peak of their confidence.The whole nation will be looking at the U16 women’s national team to fly the flag of Bangladesh at the world stage for the first time ever at any level.

Imagine I am a Cow! ( THE ARTICLE OF COW! )

Imagine I am a Cow! Muttakin Rashid Alvi No, I am not joking at all! I am serious about this! I am really a cow now! So let me SHOUT, “Humba!’’ At least for some kind of harmony for sometime.                 My eyes see and feel many bad things happening around the planet. But the only thing that I can do is SHOUT, “Humba!’’ Because I am a teen aged cow and my horns aren’t too long let alone being sharp. I can’t express my feelings like humans do and so I can’t protest that much.              I like moving from one place to another. I love the fascinating tea gardens and when I am on the hill-tops I feel cheerful about the fact that I am far far away from humans.               I see liars, frauds, cheaters but I can’t burn their lips. I see eve teasers but I can’t be the goddess of vengeance. Because there is no Nemesis for giving me any kind of regalia for a fe...

Is life really a race? If so, then why?

You have to be number one in class. You must have more friends. You must have a job that pays higher than that of your neighbour’s. You must become more successful than your batch mate in college.    Life is like a race but it is more than just a competition. The greatest man might not be the richest, the fastest, the strongest or the wisest. Men who are continuously trying to get ahead of the next guy will never be happy. So have they truly won anything?    Looking at it from another angle, I see life as a journey, with a few mountains to climb, some bumps in the road; not just something to endure. There are stops along the way. So pause, smell the roses and enjoy the trip.   I could ask like Aristotle , “A race for what?” The only end line I know of is mortality, and to be honest, I’m not in much of a hurry to get there. You don ’t need to race but – You need a degree . – You need social skills . – You need money to live. – Employers ...
