What has been happening?
The move to play the NRL’s season showpiece at the oval venue almost exclusively used for cricket and AFL was met with concern by NRL commentators.
The 2020 NRL grand final will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground due to the unavailability of ANZ Stadium, which will be undergoing renovation.
Our Expert Analysis of the Tournament
For finals I can’t determine but for semis according to my view it can be South Africa, Australia, England and India.
England is a strong force to be reckoned with especially with their formidable bowling unit. Same as Africa, with their old time bowlers like Tahir but you also can’t right of batsman’s like Amla. Australia is pumped right now with Warner and Smith back in action from their scandal.
However the most anticipated team is India. They have strong reputation in cricket even though hockey is their national sport. They beat countries on their own soil and have a formidable team.
And as for all the other teams like West Indies, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka can give a surprise, you never know.
The Social Change in Brands
Young teenagers have been experiencing peer pressure to live up to standards of the middle class society. Teenagers who’s families income may not fit to purchase high end brands such as Nike and Adidas.
Within school, no matter high school, primary school or university, there is an expectation from peers to have. Statistics online say that adults worldwide pay attention to the brand 53% of the time. This is VERY alarming for society as it represents that people will think on their own rather than societies expectation.
In terms of the brand Adidas is worth 5 billion whereas Nike is worth a whopping 15 billion. However in terms of affordability, comfort and quality for price, Adidas seems to be beating them.
