Interesting.

Congratulations to India, job well done. Hope, *This will start a new chapter for Indian football. *The Calcutta/Goa clubs will shed their Maidan mentality and support the national cause. *The chair-warmer Association Officials (e.g. Munshi-dada) will be shunted out and new guys with energy, creativ...

I am an optimist, but I will contradict myself by saying that there is no future for Indian football at the global level.
We will continue to languish at the bottom of the ladder--the way we are now-- for many many more years to come or for eternity.
I hope I will be proved wrong. Amen.

Isn't it pathetic that AIFF cannot even organize an invitational tournament in a professional manner?

The last time round they had a camp in some high school in Goa that has a mediocre artificial turf with no other professional facility.

Especially Das Munshi and his ilks and their unending lure and lust for the chair. Thank you very much.

When the hell is our national team going to play a damn international match?? ... In 11 months, thay have played ONE match. How is it so difficult for AIFF to schedule some friendlies with somebody?? This is crazy. Jay At least they could have played against some Asian team, or could have invited s...

A fourth division Spanish team, and 1-1.
Pretty much sums up the state of India football!
BTW, whats up with Dasmunshi these days! I hope his pipe dream of India qualifying for the world cup in Brazil is still alive!
