Once in every four years, the atmospheric condition of many football loving nations has a kind of shift that metamorphoses into either a tense or easy situation depending on the performance of their team. This is commonly known as the “Spirit of World Cup”. Many are caught in the web of this spirit; for instance there are many whose TV sets were not in order, just because of world cup, they are forced to put them in order. Satellite dish and decoder shops are experiencing better turnovers this period of time and many TV stations are making good money from the sales of adverts on their stations. Also, many artistes are getting mouth watery endorsements from different companies. In fact, the world cup talks money and brings money in the pocket of all the stakeholders whether on pitch or off-pitch money is exchanging hands.

However, the wave of world cup blows and affects the mental state of greater number of individuals in the respective countries participating in the event. This is as a result of the charisma and the euphoria it produces in the life of individuals especially if their team is on the winning side. It is not surprising to see people laughing and discussing the events that took place in a particular match their team won. The story is relived lively and it creates a joyful state to their entire being.

However, the reverse is the case if their team is defeated. This football winning ecstasy permeates every endeavors and activities within the vicinity; to the extent that people are found doing chores and some hard jobs with joyful expression on their faces. If the matches are played in the day, people are willing to leave their shops and businesses to go clue their eyes on their TV sets.

Well, I think you have a point there but consider this the pocket of the church needs more to help grow the spiritual standard of its members, to evangelize and gather more souls and also to do greater charity works. The world cup entertainment ends at gratifying the physical man and while many are going to get rich, many are going to get broke because of betting. However, the article didnt say Christians should not watch the world cup.
