India playing in Portugal, but the matter is how many people knows that. Our so called media doesn%u2019t bother about that, only cricket and sania is there. I m not criticizing the other sports but our media is responsible who is not encouraging other sports. They just follows the business and honestly they hv no business with soccer.
Millionaires, billionaires and trilionaires of our country could play an important role in providing frequent international exposure to our upcoming footballers.

even 3rd division teams of Portugal can defeat any of our so called Premier League Teams easily.We do not have Infra for Football and our league is amature.Kudos to India Team for their win in an adverse situation.Vijay i think u never played football..Shame..keep ur computer games running

Well, I dont see why India shouldnt keep playing 3rd division teams for a little bit, bring up their confidence, and then start playing against some better teams (maybe 2nd division, then 1st, etc), instead of directly playing some good country and looking pathetic that they dont want to play the game at all (playing against weak nations is no gud either cos that wont help the overall idea of making India a gud football-playing nation).
So I think there is nothing wrong with India's going. We must remember India is ranked very poorly among the nations that do play football (130 or so out of 200) and football is not a highly worshipped or even followed sport. So give them a chance and i am sure in a few years India will be good in football.

i agree totally with sreejith.it is better to win against a 3rd div team in a nation's league which is one of the best than losing 8-0 to japan
