We celebrate the victory of Brazil... We praise the antics of Maradona..... We cheer for France and Germany... When will India attain those standards...?

Forget When. Why do we argue about a game played by two countries that we dont identify with? Why do we follow a professional league in England which does not feature any player from India. I can understand NRIs in US following an NBA or NFL team. They live there. Why do people living in India watch a game where they are not represented at all. In the US sports is a local thing. People follow only those teams that they identify with. Thats how it should be.

Folks,
What is wrong in following a sport? Passions vary across people and it is perfectly fine to have groups across the globe who connect with your passion.

Whats wrong with you boss... Teh game is called football- the most followed sport in the world. As far as why people follow it- well the game is such and why do you need to watch something only where ur country is represented. Well would you not watch ashes since India is not playing??? If so many ppl are watching the game atleast we could have a dream that cause of the rising popularity of the game more youngsters will get attracted to the game and someday we could also be playing with these big guns just like Korea and Japan have done. Its a dream for most Indian Football fans to see something like this to happen in their life time.

More than cheering for Argentina or Brazil, we should just cheer for 'FOOTBALL', the game. Its a wonderful game and there is nothing wrong anybody from any country following it.

A lot of latin-american players are playing for European clubs. This could be also one reason why their stancards are very high. On the contrary none of our players get any chance to face foreign teams which is tragic. I am sure given proper encouragement and training we too can shine and can become no. 3 or 4 if not no. 1 in Asia. China has come a long way in a short period.

U r a real stupid. Where from the fund will come. 70% of India doesn't know what football is. It's only Bengal, Goa, Kerala and Punjab where football is popular. Rest of the India is crazy abt cricket. If u want funding watch Indian football. Your viewership counts. Then the corporates will be ready to fund.

Yes you are faceless as you have no face to show and your replies are baseless. You are a brahmin hater. Bihar is was ruled by Yadhav for 15 years what happened. Tamilnadu has Dravid movement and for ages what happend. If you have to be still get liberated that you agree that you are still subjected. Please note that Mohunbagan beat English team whictout wearing shoes. No one asked what caste the barefoot footballers were. I do not know about your caste but your mind is low for sure.
