Hosting a Football World Cup is such a beautiful opportunity to bring people together.
For Americans, it's an opportunity to showcase how stupid and ignorant they are.
After Bosnia and Herzegovina qualified for the round of 32, a broadcaster "joked" that she could not point out where it was on the map.
Leave aside the obvious problems with that joke.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is the kind of story a broadcaster dreams to talk about.
Their participation in the World Cup goes beyond football.
The country came into existence in 1992 after declaring independence from Yugoslavia, and was immediately subjected to a genocide, turning football grounds into graveyards.
The serbian leadership within Yugoslavia wanted to create a greater Serbia. The independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina went against that idea, leading to an armed conflict.
The Bosnian Muslims and Croats were at the receiving end of it. More than 1 Lakh killed. Two million displaced.
The violence finally concluded in 1995. But the Dayton Accord, the peace agreement brokered by the US, left Bosnia and Herzegovina a fractured and polarised society.
It established Bosnia and Herzegovina as a single state containing two autonomous entities: The Bosniak-Croat Federation and the Serb-majority area.
For a country marred in daily political tug of war, their journey so far at the World Cup is nothing short of historic and full of hope.
It is potentially a cross-ethnic uniting force in a divided country.
To miss all of that and reduce them to a country you can't find on the map is simply pathetic.
@volkswagenindia And yet I drive the car with exactly the same fault. What does your assistance mean? Do you want me to post another video of the car jerking? Dont make a joke of youeself volkswagen.
Hey @volkswagenindia , I’ve been dealing with a dangerous jerking issue for two years, no real fix, and no courtesy car. Meanwhile, I’ve been stuck in risky situations during overtakes because of your lack of support.
@NFTBaba @volkswagenindia Just the dealership refusing to call in technical help from volkswagen India. And Volkswagen saying talk to the dealership person.
I am suing them for failure to detect or acknowledge problem with the vehicle and leaving me with a car thats dangerous to drive.
@volkswagenindia
@volkswagenindia I was not informed of any way forward. Somebody from the dealership called and wanted to know the history of the problem. I asked them to ask the service manager who knows everything. And that was the only call I got.
