FIFA World Cup

A Brief History Of
World Cup Football

ONE of the most popular events in football is the FIFA World Cup tournament. This event is held every four years in a different location, much like the Olympics. In fact, there is some research that contends that the World Cup is just as meaningful and creates just as much worldwide interest as the Olympics do. Teams from around the world compete through special games that determine who will qualify for the tournament.

The World Cup has created such a sense of national pride that there have even been wars between countries held off until the teams knew whether or not they qualified for the tournament. For fans, football represents far more than a simple game. It is a way to show their national pride - and prove their country's dominance through sport.

The Golden Nike

In the early 1930s, the football World Cup was run by Jules Rimet from France. These pre-FIFA games awarded a magnificent statue to the winners of the tournament, the Golden Nike. The sculpture featured Nike of Samothrace, also known as Winged Victory, and was a visual indication that the winners were the world champions of football. Each winning team was allowed to keep the Golden Nike for four years - and if a team ever won three times they would be allowed to keep the statue forever. In 1970 Brazil was able to achieve this coveted goal, thought the award was stolen in 1983 and has yet to be recovered.

FIFA Steps In
In 1971 FIFA, the Federation Internationale de Football Association, took over the operation of the World Cup tournament. With the new organizers, a new award was created - the FIFA Cup. This trophy depicts winning players holding a golden globe above their heads in victory. Each team that wins the World Cup has the privilege of keeping the statue for four years, after which they have to pass it on to the next world championship team. Replica World Cups are made for each winning country to keep forever, though the original is passed from team to team. Winners of the FIFA World Cup also benefit financially, taking home large cash awards as well as the more symbolic trophy.

Truly a Worldwide Phenomenon
The World Cup is one of the most international tournaments played in the world today. It truly is a collection of football teams that represent several diverse nations, from Korea to England to Uruguay. The same country rarely wins the tournament two years in a row. In fact, the chances of a single country dominating the World Cup tournament for any length of time are very slim. In the nine tournaments played between 1930 and 1970, the winners were Uruguay, Italy, France, Brazil, Switzerland, Sweden, Chile, England, and Mexico.

The World Cup has always been a symbol of pride for the competing nations, and fans can become a little outrageous about the games. The popularity of football hasn't waned over the decades, and the game is probably more now than it ever has been.

River in the Sea

River in the Sea


"It is He who let the two seas (side); that is fresh and fresh again the other salt and bitter, and He made between them and the boundary walls that block." (Q.S Al-Furqan: 53)

IF you are someone who likes watching the TV program `Discovery ' must know Mr.Jacques Yves Costeau, he was an expert diving oceanografer and leading candidate from France. The man, white-haired old man who was throughout his life diving into the ocean floor around the world and make a documentary about the natural beauty of the sea to watch the whole world.

One day while exploring the underwater world, she suddenly found several groups of freshwater springs, a very delicious fresh taste that is not mixed / not blend with the salty sea water around him, as if a wall or membrane which limits both.

Strange phenomenon intriguing Mr. Costeau and encouraged him to seek the cause of the separation of fresh water from salt water in the middle of the ocean. He began to think, lest it was only a fantasy when halusination or diving. Any time passed after the incident, but he never got a satisfactory answer about the strange phenomenon.

Until one day he met a Muslim professor, then he was told it was an odd phenomenon. Professor was reminded of verses of the Quran about the meeting of two oceans (the letter-Rahman Ar verses 19-20) is often identified with the Suez Canal. The verse reads "Marajal Bahraini yaltaqiyaan, yabghiyaan la bainahumaa barzakhun ..." It means: "He let the two seas meet, among them is a barrier that can not be penetrated." Then read surah Al Furqan verse 53 above.

In addition, in some book of interpretation, the verse about the meeting of two seas but no water mixture is defined as the location of the river mouth, where a meeting between fresh water from rivers and saltwater from the sea. But that interpretation does not explain the following verse from the letter Ar-Rahman verse 22 which reads "minhuma Lu'lu Yakhruju` u wal marjaan (Out of the two Pearls and Coral. " And at the mouth of the river is not found pearls).

Mr.Costeau fascinated hear the verses of the Qur'an that, beyond admiration to see the magic scenery ever seen in the deep ocean. The Qur'an is impossible compiled by Muhammad, who lived in the seventh century, an era when there was no sophisticated diving equipment to reach remote locations in the depths of distant oceans. It's really a miracle, the news of the strange phenomenon of the past 14 centuries finally proved the 20th century. Mr. Costeau would say that the Qur'an is true scripture containing the word of God, the whole implies absolute right. He immediately embraced Islam.

Allahu Akbar ...! Mr. Costeau get guidance through the phenomenon of marine technology. Truthful Almighty Allah. Shadaqallahu Al `Azhim.Rasulullah s.a.w. He said: "Verily the human heart as it will rust the iron rusted by water." If one asks, "Is how to make this carefully clean again?" Messenger s.a.w. He said, "Always remember the dead and read the Qur’an."

If you are a diver, then you should visit the cenote Angelita, Mexico. There is a cave. If you dive to depths of 30 meters, the water is fresh water (fresh), but if you dive to depths of more than 60 meters, the water turns salty water, and then you can see a "river" at the bottom, complete with trees and foliage leaves.





Some reviewers said the river was not unusual, it is a layer of hydrogen sulfide, looks like a river ... amazing is not it? Look at how great the Almighty God's creation .***
