FIFA attention will definately bring in improvements in indian football, but sponsers will queue only for cricket as the days of matches catches empty mind devils to get involved some thing common for all,and never ending speculations. football max 2 hours of unintruppeted matches will not provide the sponsers the large time slots for tv ad.Munshi should start troffy recongnised by AIFF.

wht r u talking. Do u even see how soccer is prayed in the whole world (minus south aisa)... One match of professional soccer gets more money than a cricket tournament... Its not the money tht we should be worried abt, its the sickness of cricket that has been burried deep inside Indian people's mind tht should get rid of.

Mr.Hussain is correct.Having risen to the occasion,one match of football is capable of generating revenues many a times than a cricket match.But the important thing is to instill the confidence of sponsors over the football game by taking the game to new standards and giving the moolah back to the sponsors.
