In this era, people are more interested in sports, especially the international sports, such as football World Cup and Olympia. It has been claimed that this kind of sports could reduce the international tension and patriotic emotions. Personally, I believe it could not be so efficiency, even it would be caused more stimulation. In the following, I will examine the reasons.

The first issue is about fans. In the sports each side has their fans, which always there is a controversy between them, and also it could be happen in a country. For example, the most two popular teams are Real Madrid and Barcelona, which have their own fans, whilst all of them are from Spain, and it has observed many times by loosing one side, the fans commit acts of vandalism. On the there hand, I think patriotic has different concept. In other words, being patriotic means, protection and trying to develop the country. As a classic example, the people who fight for their countries, without any fear of death. Therefor, reducing the patriotic emotions need another solutions. Moreover, it has been observed injustice in games many times, which would cause more tension. For instance, sometimes referees do not their duty properly, such as the game between Iran and Argentina, in World Cup 2014, it was annoyed the Iranian people, as well as players. However, watching sports is followed by excitement, it could cause more tension and anger. So, it could not be the best way of controlling international tension and patriotic emotions,
