Amitabh Bachchan talks about the FIFA World Cup
Taking to his online blog, the famed actor opened up about how the FIFA and how the victory all lies in the hands of the teams’ coaches. He wrote, “When you reach the stage of the ending of the Championships and there are just 4 teams left to compete with each other .. it is difficult to make predictions ….. predictions follow your love and following of your favourite …. but the fact to me seems that at this stage we are dealing with 44 players .. semi final to final .. 11 each team …. and each player at this stage of competition is a SUPER STAR!!”He further emphasized on the importance of how it all comes down to how the players are managed on the field by their coaches, despite the fact that all of the players standing in line for victory are “superstars”. He added in his post, “You cannot change their standing as a player .. BUT .. the need is how to manage them… and this where the Coach, Manager comes in ..so for the FINAL on Sunday early morning IST 12:30 am , it shall be a competition between the Spanish Coach and the Argentinian Coach...how they plan the game will be the decider…they will plan .. the players has to execute.”He concluded his post by adding, “Will be seen through by the other and plan accordingly… most interesting situation… in the last 3 mins of the Eng v Argentina game the Arg coach replaced a player with a Striker… to attack .. rather than send a defender to defend a draw and then play overtime and hope to get victory… but it was a brilliant move… Risky, but gutsy, and the result proved it.”Big B has been quite candid about his thoughts on FIFA in the past couple of days. A few days ago, he uploaded another blog about the big matches, specifically addressing the “unfair decisions” happening at the FIFA World Cup 2026.He commented at the time that, “The timelines and the idea of time has gone awry .. the reason of course is the WC 2026 .. times to see are weird and makes our days even worse .. but we see we cheer we have remorse .. and we see with great distress the unfair decisions being made for one and not for the other .. and we get excited over the victories of those Countries that we had never imagined would make it to the WC challenge. Most of the renowned and well known Football countries have with great regret, lost .. that is surprising .. but elated by the fact that those we never imagined have given fight and gained recognition. They keep saying ‘may the best team win’ .. but we never know who the best team is until the results come out.”
