@rahulljoshiii Nothing as such to celebrate.
It's a counter to some who say Indian genes are not suited for football.
English
Indian Football fans are so desperate that they are celebrating indian origins making debut or scoring goals. bc hadd hai yaar 🤣
English
bro had 1 good game and became a global superstar 😭😭😭
LakeShowYo@LakeShowYo
Cape Verde’s goalkeeper Vozinha had 50k followers on IG before the match vs Spain He has over 1.6M followers now 😭 MAN OF THE MATCH 🏆

You need to watch this very much.

“NOW EVERYONE KNOWS CAPE VERDE” 🇨🇻
English
Football fans think them following football gives them some kind of status
The only countries extracting soft power from football are the ones who will enter the group of 16 (maybe the top 8).
Rest of them are on a vacation!
Arun Ramesh 🇮🇳@arun10venkat
Football is a Soft Power. India should invest in Football. Need to rejuvenate I League & ISL. Pool of 25 players should be handpicked and invested. Crack in the Top 10 of Asian rankings (currently we are in mid 20s in Asia itself), and sneak one time to Fifa WC. Then, we will rise up no matter what. It'll be Indian Football's '83 moment. Indian players should play in Premier League, La Liga etc. Its very much essential. Because, Football is a Soft Power.

@arijitdattacms @Pivot2Centre May be funny to you but that's the reality
English
@creativerse005 @Pivot2Centre This is too funny even for a hyperbole
English
@arijitdattacms @Pivot2Centre Qualifying for the fifa wc itself is tougher than India winning 10 world cups in cricket.
English
@Pivot2Centre I would rather India win cricket world cups than watch them get beat 8-0 even if they qualified
English
@Pivot2Centre Cape Verde on their debutant performance held Spain to a draw. The island nation of 5 lakh population wasn't even known to people, their gk who was phenomenal in the match, gained 6 million followers overnight from just 50k, coz the world was watching him.
Anything else?
English
@kkr_russell @Maxi_targaryen We were 2 matches behind from qualifying to the wc this yr...sadly the teams were too tough in the group stage of Asia Cup.
But they'll surely do.
Sadly women's football is so under spoken.
English
@Maxi_targaryen I'm so happy for our women's team.
Hope they qualify for the Women's WC in the near future before these men
English
@AbhishekLe29304 @kohli_pagluu Yes blame AIFF always agree with that
English
@creativerse005 @kohli_pagluu Blame aiff and end current football chokehold of Kerala and bengal then it will grow
English
@Saniddhya5 Winning 5 wc back to back is impossible in football due to the sheer competition.
English
@creativerse005 They didn't win 5 world cups in last 24 years, otherwise they might actually stop caring about it a lot too, lol + Ashes and their home test season is considered the peak of Cricket by Australians
English
Cricket is way bigger than football in Australia
Desi Bavarian 🇩🇪🇵🇸@sn5tm25
While I fully don't agree with the statement, what I do agree with is that if India starts performing even to the level of Japan in football, cricket's popularity will take a nose dive in years to come Show me one footballing nation where cricket is equally popular You can't
English
@Seriton027 @apostateluffy Like how? They are one of the most peace loving, educated and culturally oriented people in entire India.
English
@creativerse005 @apostateluffy You must be living under a rock lol, I have not heard it, I have seen it
English
Actually we perform better in sports which are popular in our country. For example Chess and Cricket
Why should we force ourselves in sports like football or basketball which are not popular in our country ?
Sana Ebrahimi Ledene@__Injaneb96
Serious question: Why does India underperform in most global sports relative to its massive population? You rarely see Indian athletes or teams dominating at the Olympics or in major World Cups outside of cricket. What are the main reasons for this?
English
@AbhishekLe29304 @kohli_pagluu Currently the best youth talents are from Kerala though...I can say you their names and you can watch their goals in Asia Cup u23 qualifiers.
Also the current NT has no bengal players, the state of football there too is abysmal.
Club exists but no support or grassroots.
English
@AbhishekLe29304 @kohli_pagluu Are you out of your mind??
Get some facts right via the internet
Indian football was at its peak during the 70s...where we used to win gold medal in Asia cups, lost to France 2-1 in Olympics...
Bengal players from Mohun Bagan and East Bengal used to dominate the team.
English
@Saniddhya5 Even Brazil won 5 world cups, why do they still care for it?
English
@creativerse005 Aussies have won the world cup 5 times, they don't care about WCs that much now lol, Ashes is the biggest event in their country
English
@Abhishe58623944 @sehajdhillon_ Didn't even mention club football yet 😂
English
@Abhishe58623944 @sehajdhillon_ You think football revolves around the wc and every 4 years random players get to play 😂...There's literally the EUROs, AFCON, CONMEBOL, AFC Asia Cup and other continental tournaments, the Nations League...and then the WC qualifiers which itself spans more than 2 yrs
English
This is why the FIFA World Cup is actually the only sports World Cup which the whole World watches. 1 good performance and BOOM !! Your popularity will skyrocket overnight. Other sports can never match this aura tbh.
Conn@ConnCFC
Cape Verde’s goalkeeper went from 50k followers to 1.5m after the game. Football is goated
English
@7negiashish @chakdefootball @ShadySodhi @AadityaN_28 What a say man!
Fans will support you till eternity ❤️
English
It is not my team, it is our country. If you feel you need an incentive to support your national team, then I honestly don't know what to say.
Going by that logic, countries like Bangladesh should have no support either. Yet their fans proudly back the national team despite being ranked 181 because they love both their country and football. The same can be said for Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Tajikistan and many others across Asia.
Do you think every lower-league club in Europe plays great football? Of course not. Their fans still turn up because they love the game and feel a connection to their city and club.
Support is not always about success. Sometimes it is simply about belonging.
English
Dumb guilt-tripping as ever from the Indian Football community. Football fans in India will automatically become Indian Football fans as well, in large numbers, if there’s something in Indian football to actually be a fan of.
Ashish Negi@7negiashish
As the FIFA World Cup is going on, a reminder: Football fans from India ≠ Indian football fans.
English
One of the best things I found today regarding all the discussions related to Indian football these days...

@opinionsaisehi @apostateluffy I agree but still need to correct you twice.
One you said it isn't popular or relevant, and the other where without doing good we will be fine.
We need to be good in at least a few global sports.
English
@creativerse005 @apostateluffy I understand what u said. Bt u also proved my point.U cud only list 5 states where football is popular. Thes rest may like it but not as much as cricket. Butt.This is not a reason for Ind to not play football. I want my country leading everywhere. My point was just abt the reach.
