As the World Cup 2018 is running, a plethora of sarcastic comments about national teams disqualified is circulating on social networks. Many patriotic soccer fans posit that there are many factors that bring about the inevitable and embarrassing repercussion, such as egregious technique, execrable coaching and bribery management.

Yet, it seems few of us have ever suspected that the cardinal culprit of the dereliction is whether footballers and coaches have made tremendous effort. What I do aver is that nothing more powerful than nutritional value in our sustenance maintains the level of football performance.

If a footballer whose staple diet is pickle rather than cheese but receives professional training as growing up, is his stamina sufficient enough to complete vigorous 90-min? You know the answer, don't you?
