The Indian Super League is set to begin this october.It will feature eight franchise teams from all around India including my hometown Kochi (Kerala Blasters) owned by cricketer sachin Tendulker.A lot of foreign players have been signed up for ISL so far.

David James is our GK and manager!

Trezeguet, del Piero, Pires, Ljungberg, Luis Garcia, Capdevila, Josemi, David James, Michael Chopra, Manuel Freidrich are the 'big' names that are going to be out there. Materazzi and Peter Reid are amongst the coaches.

I guess its a start to finally getting football on the map over there?

How big is football in India? You never really see Indian players. Do you think India will produce a world class player soon?

There has been a BOOM in football's popularity in the recent past. Specially in the younger generation. Kids today are discussing football just like they would discuss and moreover more and more are starting to play the game.

We are still light years away from producing a world class player simply cos we don't have the basic facilities and grass root organization for kids to vecome one. The natch our players were getting is a disgrace and so people don't see it as a viable career choice. Hopedully the rise in popularity changes things.

It really popular in Indian states like Bengal,Kerala&Goa. Popular than cricket.

We really need to develop the infrastructure for football. Also the regular system needs to be changed. Here the football academies aren't very efficient, a young player only gets chance to perform on big stages by the time he turn 18 at least.

I think each ISL teams need to develop their own football academies in order to participate which will help the young indian talents to mingle with international players and train with them.

Also the upcoming U-17 world up in 2017 will be great platform for India to get in to the main stage. We need to develop a good team for that from now.

What's the attendance expected to be? Do you think it'll sell out?

Really curious to see how they settle into India. India has been the dirtiest, poorest and unhealthiest country I have ever visited.

Atleast their people are nice , my cousin have visited germany nd he thinks the germans are the most impolite and rude he have ever come across.. racist nd always trying to look down on others if you don't agree with them, still the same people deep down that they had 70 or so years ago

Butthurt much? The perception of your 'cousin' doesn't match the perception of the majority of people visiting Germany since Germany is one of the most popular countries to migrate to for many people. Deal with it. But again, everybody has the right to have his opinion.

Calling all Germans like you do is the same like calling all Indian people rapists. Just nonsense.
