Rise of the underdogs

The greatest underdog story of all time is the story of David and Goliath, when the small and humble sheepherder took down the might giant. Time and experience has taught us never to under estimate any opponent but in recent times its always the dominant one who comes out on top, or so we thought.

In the world stage of the world's greatest and most popular game, our perception of a dominant team making an example out of the weaker team is being shattered with the recent results we have seen. Giants of the sport have been slayed by the small soldiers. The most feared squads have been over shadowed by the dark horses. Why is that?

Well, the sudden rise of the underdogs can be attributed to them not fearing the other team. They believe that they can do it and that mind set has made them silence the people who have said that it can't be done. If you think you'll lose, you will its all in the mind. Your state of mind can either motivate you to excellence or it can drag you to failure.

Beware of the underdogs because they have nothing to lose and everything to gain, they will gut it out and prove their worth.

With but few exceptions, it is always the underdog who wins through sheer willpower. Johnny Weissmuller
