@thekaipullai So we decided game changing initiatives weren’t our forte and adopted name changing initiatives! 😃

Everyone: Curaçao, Cape Verde, countries whose total populations are less than the retinue of a single Indian bereaucrat, are qualifying and scoring points in the FIFA World Cup. We don't even qualify. We should do something
AIFF : We will ensure India will never not qualify for the World Cup again
Everyone: WoW what are you going to do?.
AIFF : We will change our name to Football Federation of Bharat, so from now on it will be Bharat that will not qualify not India

@gauravsabnis Indians inherently aren’t sport loving. They love flexing their superiority when there is a record of achievement that s they can show off.
English
For example badminton viewership in India has taken a sharp dive in this decade after India stopped producing as many top level badminton players as 2010s.
India didn't really like badminton. It liked cheering India. Badminton was just sport du jour

@gauravsabnis I think Meghalaya, Mizo, Nagaland, Sikkim do truly. Bengal beyond the fan base of the 2 giants I doubt. Kerala football fan base is fickle, more in for the splendor and thrill which to be fair Keralite love even if their local team provides it not just Brazil or Argentina.

Which Led Zeppelin album would you take to a deserted island?🎶🎸

Who's got your favorite voice in Rock? (not counting Freddie Mercury or Robert Plant)🎸🎶🎼
English
Back when albums were meant to be played, not shuffled...
What's one album you can still listen to from start to finish without skipping a single track?

@michaelevansuk @30GotNext That said I think they press rather well and quickly take the ball back. I was a tad surprised at how easily the Socceroos were overrun.
English
@30GotNext Call it what you like lad. You’re a decent side with what I’ve seen and you can only beat what’s put in front of you but you need to come up against a side that once you give the ball away to them, you’ll have a lot of trouble getting it back. Then you’ll know how good you are.

I might be the only American left with this point of view, but soccer is a horribly boring sport with hardly any scoring. I'd rather watch tennis and I don't give a damn about the world cup. Baseball is exciting by comparison.

Can you name the World Cup and Champions League winner.
Level: Very Difficult
92% will fail

I just found out that there are now as many atheists as Hindus in the world. 120 crores.
Fastest growing (non) religion in the world after Islam (which is only growing in bhikmanga gutters like Africa and the subcontinent)
And we are not even counting the closet atheists.
Maybe the world has a chance ...!!! Je baat ...!!!

Question for the men in the group: do you know how to fix a tire? If you got a flat tire, would you fix it yourself or call AAA?
(I do not need my tired fixed. I’m doing research.)

@vishalmisra Agree completely! Football was only popular in Bengal, Goa and Kerala. Most others states hardly played the game. Gavaskar, Kapil Dev etc were household names and I di’s was decent at test cricket. Post ‘83 was when we emerged as a power in limited overs.
English
Complete fiction. Gavaskar was a legend years before the 83 World Cup. In primary school we rushed out at recess to listen to the commentary of Kapil decimating the Australians in the second innings at Melbourne in 1980. Football was never more popular in India than Cricket.
Rahul Raj@RahulRajVerse
The two biggest reasons cricket became popular in India: 1. Very Very little competition, so it achieved success easily, which pushed the delusion among Indians that they were world-class. 2. The hype around India–Pakistan matches, which was directly linked to nationalism and other sentiments. This further embedded the idea that cricket = nationalism. Ask your parents , grandparents and elders Football was way more popular in india before 1983 world cup. But the fluke win because of very low competition made india think they are world class in something
