Football world cup going on.All over the world,football fans are having a great time,even though some are complaining about the quality of matches and the quality of the ball,even.
As an Indian and as a passionate supporter of Argentina and Brazil,in that order,my feelings are mixed.Delighted that the world cup is here.But sad to digest the fact that India as a football team is nowhere in the picture.
The passion,the craze for the game here in India,especially in places like Kerala is amazing.
I remember going for a drive,2 weeks before the world cup.It was astonishing to see huge Argentine and Brazil flags fluttering in many places.Huge cutouts of players like Messi,Kaka adorned the street sides.
Make no mistake,football is huge in India.People love the game.May be it's the second most loved game in India after Cricket.
Now for the game of football to grow as a sport where an Indian team can compete in a world cup,the following things might be needed :
1.I don't know.
2.I don't.
3.I really don't know.
Seriously I don't know what is required.My own personal belief is that we Indians,our physique is not yet,atleast for the time being,not tailor-made for the game,when it comes to competing on a world stage.
:(
