Argentina's fiercely dedicated Messi 3 people who supported the soccer World Cup
The World Cup in Qatar, the first ever to be held in the Middle East, ended with Argentina winning.
The driving force that brought Argentina the world's best in 36 years was, of course, Messi, who professed to be the "last World Cup" and won the tournament's Most Valuable Player (MVP). However, the presence of three midfield players who maximized the power of the 35-year-old ace also shines.
Argentina's basic formation in the final match against France (18th) is "4-3-3". In the midfield, 28-year-old DePaul, 21-year-old Fernandez, and 23-year-old Makaritel lined up from the right.
Soccer World Cup "Judgment" is also a hot topic Introducing the latest technology and a new image of referees
Argentina, led by Messi, won its third title for the first time in 36 years, and the football World Cup (World Cup) Qatar tournament, which lasted for about a month, came to an end in a heated battle. This time as well, new technology was introduced in the "judgment", and it was also a tournament where various topics were born. Kenji Ogitani, a former international referee and chairman of the Japan Football Association (JFA) referee committee, what do you think about the advancement of technology and the role of referees?
The Video Assistant Referee (VAR), which assists the referee's decisions with video, has been adopted since the previous tournament in Russia, and the latest technology, "Semi-automated", uses video and artificial intelligence (AI) to assist with offside decisions. Ted Offside Technology" was also newly introduced in this tournament. Many 'goals' resulting from tactics at the offside line were disallowed. Chairman Ogitani said, "I thought that system was amazing. There were parts where we used technology to make quick decisions, and parts where we were a little cautious and took time, but I think it ran smoothly overall." evaluate.
In Japan's third round match against Spain, there was controversy over whether Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton), who scored the winning goal, crossed the finish line. It is impossible for human eyes to judge such a racy play that Mitoma said, "If only it took 1 mm." A VAR decision confirmed that the ball was slightly on the line, as evidenced by video, leading to a historic victory. The use of video and technology has been highly effective in confirming facts such as ins and outs.
While technology has reduced the number of blatant misjudgments, it has not completely eliminated doubts and turmoil surrounding decisions. Perhaps because it is possible to "see" the video if necessary, a slight contact in the penalty area or a player who seems to have been hit by the ball due to force majeure is a hand, and both are PK decisions. . After the game, many players were seen approaching the referee.
"Stereotypical Japanese image rests peacefully" World Cup as seen by Ken Arimoto
The football World Cup (World Cup) Qatar tournament has closed the curtain. Japan surprised the world with an upset that defeated powerhouses Germany and Spain, but did not reach the top eight for the first time. How was the battle described? What is the new “Japan representative theory” presented by Senior Associate Professor Takeshi Arimoto of International Christian University, who has discussed the relationship between sports, media, and nationalism?
Football in the World Cup has been considered to reflect the national character of the country or region. Typical examples are Brazil's individual skill, Germany's "Germanic spirit" that never gives up the game, and Africa's "physical ability". It can be said that this year's tournament broke away from such discourses surrounding national character.
Since the 1998 tournament, when the Japanese national team first participated in the World Cup, fine technical skills and organized play have been regarded as weapons. The Japan Football Association (JFA) has proposed a guideline for 2006, "Japan's Way." Diligence, cooperativeness, and agility are the strengths of the Japanese people.
Many people, including the authors, have criticized these narratives as strengthening stereotypes of Japanese people. This is because national character is not something that is pre-existing, but something that can change according to society and life.

Human rights and discrimination... Unfillable gaps: Challenges left by the hosting of the World Cup in the Middle East
The soccer World Cup (World Cup) Qatar tournament ended on the 18th (19th Japan time) with the victory of Argentina. Players were more vocal than in previous tournaments on issues such as the human rights of foreign workers and discrimination against women and sexual minorities. . There are some issues that came to the fore in the Middle East for the first time, including the climate that was a concern.
In recent years, an increasing number of athletes are actively addressing social issues, such as the "Black Lives Matter" movement. There was such a scene just before the start of the game when Japan beat Germany in the first league match. During the photo shoot, the German players posed with their right hands covering their mouths.
The captains of the seven European teams planned to wear armbands with colorful hearts reminiscent of the rainbow colors that symbolize sexual minorities and the letters "One Love" in order to appeal for the eradication of discrimination. However, FIFA, which prohibits political slogans in its regulations, gave up after being notified that "if you wear it, you will be subject to disciplinary action such as a warning." The players' performance was a criticism of FIFA for not speaking up. England also protested by putting one knee on the pitch before the game.
The poor working conditions of migrant workers involved in the construction of stadiums, etc., had been viewed as a problem even before the games were held. Qatar, a Muslim country, forbids homosexuality and restricts women's rights and freedoms. Protests spread, mainly in Europe, but FIFA calmed down.
In the midst of this, Kozo Tashima, president of the Japan Football Association, said, ``Of course, we would like to take issues of discrimination and human rights in a good direction as the association. I don't think so. Now it's time to focus on football." He was questioned about his stance as a participant in "sports washing," which seeks to wash away inconveniences through competition.
