It is not only football,every game other than cricket need to have sufficient advantage in respect of everything starting from sufficient pays to sponsorship so that players get encouraged to take the respective game seriously and proffessionally.football majorly playing some states like kerala,west bengal,goa,it is not there are no football playing states but as there are less less amount facilities/pays/sporsors/oroverall money involved than cricket players has to shifted to some other fields for income.And if we take other sports there is all single person talent......like sania in tennis,leander paes/mahesh bhupati in tennis,some golf players,rathore in shooting(olympian)with afford to play rather carry on in own interest,and reason is clear also that why we are far behind in world event like Olympics and all,if we need to be ahead means to match world class standard need to give serious attention as cricket..
