I agree with Sukwinder. Wake up Satish.. enough of supporting the Indian team. we supported them too much in the past and hence the sorry state of affairs.
We shouldn't read too much into this victory... India just got lucky once..
Lets wait and watch instead of jumping into conclusions..

KSatish,
I couldn't have stated it better. Being a winner in a World Cup is not just about winning the World Cup.
Great! then why play at all? Come back home!!
As it is, it's a shame that a nation of 1.1 billion people doesn't have qualifying Olympic athletes. The game India is "supposed" to excel at and is a national obsession, Indian team's performance depends on which player is having a good day!!
The problem with the Indian fan is that the fan embraces the team no matter what the outcome. Just like you stated.
This is were the game stops being a sport/contest and becomes a circus. A circus is a time-bound show with no winners or losers, everybody leaves the venue with their money's worth.
The reason for my criticism is that the team has become indifferent to the outcome. They know that the rewards will keep coming, so why even try!!
This will continue till someone lets them know that failure is not an option. By the blind faith displayed by the fans, that won't be happening any time soon!!!

Sukhi,
I didnt feel that bad dude. No, u are right I did feel bad cos it was a good chance to be number one which we missed.
Anyway,after all India was in the top 2 teams for you crying out loud.
So what did I forget????
Oh so you felt so bad that u almost went for suicide and thought u might as well live your life cursing them all through out the tornament just cos they failed a final?
So, tho kya samjeh hum?
Get off it dude. Life is better then that. Hope, faith are not just spiritual and religious words. They let you be a winner, dont stoop to a loser self.
I read your other msgs u are better then that. Have a sense of humor and all. I like your " In fact I think no body should open!!". Yes that is funny but dont just keep beating aroudn the wrong bush so much that people might mistake you for a loser.

Sukhi,
Oh yeah you are right. Absolutely felt terrible and was feeling like throwing up. But why cos they got up from being a normal team to a point where they got into the final and challenged the runners and then failed miserably.
True the Pak fan couldnt go through the sick feeling that you and I went through. So what do u say we just lose and not even go to the final?
I came out of it after a few months. But I did.
This is a game which is won and lost. So we fans will be feeling excited and sick from time to time.
But I see it as following cricket not just India. Indan team is just a path. I dont think a loser blood is running through meam sure it is up to some thing.
And being a winner is not just about winning the final.
Hope is a dangerous thing but belive me thrills of life are what makes it worth living.
