I came here to post the article.

The article is incorrect in one area: The New Hampshire Phantoms play in the Pro Select League which is acutally semi-professional. It is the USA's Third Division.

But congrats to him and best of luck.

Turf also heats up VERY quickly, a major factor in India.

That scares me then, because I couldn't name a single Indian player outside of Bhatia or Vijayan. Then again, I only became interested in Indian soccer because the USA isn't playing at the moment.

Only the top 8 or 10 results from a given year count toward the FIFA ranking. They only give a general idea of how good a team is at the moment, because of their 8 year history. BTW, the Faroe Islands aren't the worst side in Europe. They've managed to pull off a fair number of shock upsets, includi...

Well that pretty much sucks. Having a top flight team in your group will kill a campaign pretty fast.

I was just wondering if the Football Authorities know of this website and read the suggestions on this site on how to improve Indian football.

Even the Palestinian FA has a Website...

I think Bhutia shud play in the mls. I watch mls myself and i think that his style would suit the mls'. He shud play for the metrostars! OK.. I checked on this with someone I know who used to be involved with Metrostars. There was contact made and some discussion, but no formal trial ever took plac...

Where can one purchase an OFFICAL India jersey and a supporters scarf. I know several Indian fans are keenly interested in them. The only place I found online seems to offer an outdated jersey. I'm lookng for the light blue ones worn during the preliminary Asia 2004 qualifying match against DPR Kore...

I know he was offered an invitation to try out for an MLS club (Metrostars, I think) a few years ago. No idea if it actually happened.
