It is world cup time and the football hype is all over the place. I figured this post should be related to football. I was and still am a big fan of captain majed*(and I think anyone who likes football should also be a fan). Also when I was a child I used to follow the lebanese football league and was a fan of a certain team. If you remember any captain majed episode you will remember how comical and how unrealistic it was and coincidentally if have seen any football game in lebanon you will notice the striking similarities between our football game and style and captin majed's. Here are some similarities:
-even now our football style is similar to the style used in the 70's and 80's (captain majed was produced in the 80's I guess)
-captain majed and his teammates always run up a hill in football field. Our fields also have many hills
-it always took captain majed's team about half an episode + commercials to reach the other side of the field. Same thing with our teams
-just like captain majed, in our teams only one player was the star and always had the ball
-referees were obsolete any you rarely saw them
-the acting and the drama that occurs whenever a player is injured(this actually happens everywhere)
-during an episode you only see a handful of team supporters(although the stands were packed).At an average lebanese football game you also saw a handful of supporters if any(before the baning the fans from the stands ).
-“game” commentator sucks
If you have noticed any other similarities please feel free to share them.
*for any one who doesn't know, captain majed was a japanese animated series(dubbed in arabic) about a football star known as captain majed
