I suggest that the World Cup is watched more as Entertainment and not as a Live Event that has the capacity to change one's life even if you are going to participate in prediction.

However, just like @Ogochukwu is drawing and triggering great inspirational content from an event as World Cup, anybody can. You can; I can and the event will be more beneficial to the society if folks approached it from this perspective Example: Senegal, considered a lower subordinate winning to everyone's amazement buttressed two points

1. You don't allow other people's definition and conclusion of you dictate who you eventually become.
2. Change is Constant.

Great observation @ogochukwu
