Why are you even joining the conversation? You weren't part of it. Can't stand people who have the urge to have a say in every matter. It's not the first time you're doing it. Are you on your periods again? Or is it an attention deficit you have to cope with?

uhmmm.... because it's a forum? and forums are kind of meant for conversations?

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

I think if you put a billion people anywhere you are going to get such issues involving health and cleanliness. I remember when I went with my parents as a teen our place we were staying at had a maid. I noticed that the maids were going to the restroom outside(I don't know if this was an unwritten rule or what), but when I saw ours was about to I decided that was not cool and that she should use the inside so I came up to her, put my hand on her shoulder with a smile, and pointed towards the house. She literally freaked out and thought I was trying something funny :D . My mom died from laughter watching this.

You don't see a lot of Indian footballers making it out of India, but there are some good ones around the indian diaspora especially some from caribbean and south American countries like Narsingh.

I remember Harpal Singh playing for Leeds and Zeshan Rehman (Pakistani though) playing for FUlham even in the Premier League. Pretty poor though compared to the total number of population. What a pity that other Sports like Cricket are more promoted in South Asia because the potentially good footballers over there are undoubtedly existing.

Having watched all 3 matches so far,following are my observations:

1. Players are exhausted after about 60 minutes on an average, both due to lack of fitness and the hot humid Indian climate. To mitigate this, matches should either be reduced to 35 minute halves or number of substitutes allowed should be increased to 5 per team. A short drinks break could additionally be introduced to ensure players do not over-exert themselves.

2. After 270 minutes of football, not a single Indian player has even come close to scoring a goal. Balraj Sahni of Atletico de Kolkata was the only domestic player who had a couple of decent shots on target as far as I can recall. It doesn't help of course that I-League champions Bengaluru FC do not have any representation in this competition. Sunil Chhetri and Robin Singh would have been decent bets to get their names on the scoresheet.

3. More to follow...

Tragic. RIP.

To be honest, even when I see footballers jumping on top of each other after a goal I'm surprised the goal scorer doesn't get injured from that.

Yippeee Kerala Blaster are in to the semis. :blue scalf:

Even though we played really poorly today i think the team should progress for the fans atleast. Great support today as well. 47000 was the average attendance in our 7 home matches and a very noisy atmosphere also.
