Losing to BD Afg Maldives is a habit Not enough imvestment or interest in football. Every young kid aspires to become a cricketer or next Kohli.

Yes,with Vaibhav's rise,im seeing a huge influx of kids into nearby cricket coaching academies and clubs.That has amplified everything all of a sudden.We need a personality like that to totally galvanize a generation.Genetics and other factors matter, of course,but the inspiration surely has to come from somewhere Austin 3:!6 1
Suhaan Posted June 25 Posted June 25 And why isn't Ancelotti giving Endrick a consistent run of games?

The gap's only going to get bigger now between us and 2nd tier nations in Asia because we cant even qualify for Asia Cup(24 teams) while they are getting to World Cup and playing with the best. Their growth will be similar to Iran, SK, Japan Also money has dried up. Reliance had a 15 year deal with AIFF from 2010 which ended last year so revenue is almost 1/4th now on. Maybe OCIs can help us become a force in South Asian football but thats it Sgattick10 1

Only way is to allow OCIs to participate even poach some Indian origin players from abroad. Short term get some local African talent in there as well. Money and investment are key factors That way we can manage in Asian Cup qualifiers and there will be significant interest as well. Edited June 25 by Lone Wolf Austin 3:!6 1
Vickydev Posted June 25 Posted June 25 The only video you need to see which covers all issues in Indian football. Busts a few myths too, very informative from a proper ground journalist who is hated by AIFF. A bit long but worth it, watch at 1.5-2x. Subtitles in English for those who dont understand Hindi properly Sgattick10 1

vvvslaxman Posted June 25 Posted June 25 I have alway played cricket in US. But with my new company i had a bosnian and french origin colleague. So we played football and vollyeball a lot more. But if you look at most Indians in USA they just prefer to play cricket or tennis. Occasionally vollye ball. Football requires a lot of athleticism.

Even Spain is slightly ahead and Eng are at the same level as US at the moment. Germany is finished.they are losing to Ecuador

Will be a great game regardless Hahah predicted this one.... Two weeks back Ecuador's defence indeed came to the party. New guy and Gollum 2
nitinbwj Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Norway has rested there main players. 10 replacements incl Haaland. Norway doesn't want to win against France. They have conceded before the game even begins. The coach wants to finish second and look forward to next week. That's pathetic mentality.
nitinbwj Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Everyone was looking forward to Haaland vs Mbappe and there coach turned out to be a bigger chewt than GG vvvslaxman 1
