Bleed-Blue Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah can't wait.....Never been this excited for a sporting event since 2012 summer olympics. I am looking forward to this more than the Ind-Eng 5 test series :two_thumbs_up:same.. It should be good
Sidhoni Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Interest doesn't equate to success....Firstly for an Indian Football player to compete even at the levels of Middle East will take 30-40 years. Take a look at our cricketers,their fitness standards are still behind the average South African,Kiwi or Australian despite having a cricket infrastructure and being a cricket crazy nation after alll these years. We have been overtaken in Hockey once the fitness demands of the game changed. We don't have a Tennis player who can break in to Top 20,since Tennis started having these freaks..Likes of Krishnan and Amritraj to Paes to Now....No Deverman is not at their same level despite the ranking The above 3 are still very popular sports in India. Now Football is very popular in India no doubt but so is MMA,what are the chances we will produce a UFC fighter in India or someone will take up MMA,Same with Football,Things have to drastically change. As an Indian hope you are right though 30-40 is a realistic target if a miracle happens We did qualify in 1950 but played barefoot and FIFA didn't allow it. MMA is nowhere near popularity of football in India.

maniac Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 We did qualify in 1950 but played barefoot and FIFA didn't allow it. MMA is nowhere near popularity of football in India. That is a myth Although FIFA imposed a rule banning barefoot play following 1948 Olympics where India had played barefoot, the suggestion that the Indian team refused to play because they were not allowed to play barefoot is not entirely true; according to the then-Indian captain Shailen Manna, it was invented to cover up. The team has never since come close to qualifying for the World Cup. Got it from Wiki for now but heard that before too
