Their level of play is not very high, from what I see on Football Asia. They have some ways to go. What is surprising is the caliber of coaches that have applied for the position. Of all the teams, they want to manage India? I guess there are a lot of coaches competing for a limited supply of jobs, so they going anywhere to coach.

2 tings:
1 English 'people of pakistani extraction' don't like being called 'paki'. Still too many racists call dem dat (I know - I married an English woman of PE). She can called me 'gora' but I cyan call her the P word.
2 Zesh Rehman (on Fulham's books but on loan at Norwich this season) was the 1st player of 'sub-continental' extraction to play in the Premiership. He represented England at U17, U18, U19 and U20 level, but elected to play full international for Pakistan (sounds a bit like the unsuccessful Bobby Zamora attempt to play for T+T). He played in a friendly against ummmm...Bahrain to raise dosh for the Pakistan Earthquake appeal.

India has been playing international football for decades.

Qualified for the WC back in the 1950s...playing barefoot to boot. However, were not allowed to participate becz they refused to wear shoes.

Wondered why theirr football has suffered like this,and found this article

I mean with their population it not hard to fathom that somebody could play football. The question is how serious men there does be taking it.

Jah Gol · « **Reply #13 on:** May 09, 2006, 05:28:09 AM »

Football was actually as big if not bigger than cricket in the earlies. Even today the biggest clubs attract crowds of over 100,000 spectators. The game today however is but a shadow of its former self. History would show that the oldest domestic cup competition outside of the English FA Cup was from India. That country has over 1.1 billion people, imagine if football caught on in 5 largest cities. They would give the world some good players. FIFA needs to look seriously at India and China for development of the game.

Fu^% the archives.

I remember well.

They toured the Caribbean, played three games vs. TT and also visited Guyana and Suriname.

Game one...they were VERY lucky to beat us 3-1 in the first game.

They then toured Guyana and Suriname and lost their games there. In one encounter they were beatedn smthng like 6-0 (the defintely ate six goals, jut can't remember if they scored any in reply).

They then came back to TT played two more games and lost both, something like 3-0 margins.

I remember that...although I didn't see the match I heard about it. There is a part in India that was a former Portugese territory, GOA, on the West Coast of India. The people there are football crazy, they don't want to hear nuttin bout cricket. Many of them have Portugese last names etc. I ran into a few of them when I lived in the D.C metro area. Rell football peongs.

Yep....ef de archives..I was at both games...only remember 2...and the first game when they win I remember they had a midfielder that score one of the best goals I see in de Stadium. A bullet straight from India. 3-1 in we backside. The second game we were a little more serious and return the favour 3-1. It look like they was afraid of Brian Williams and the locks in that game. They was just getting out of the way. Can't remember another game.

India should go for Westerhof

They have de talent, they just need an experienced coach

the only Indian player I ever heard of was Baichung Bhutia...not sure if he still playing in England

and of course Vikash Dhorasoo (AC Milan and then Lyon) who is on the France WC squad so he doh count

Andre · « **Reply #24 on:** May 10, 2006, 08:29:30 AM »

large population doh equate to football prowess. look at China.

conversely, look at holland, croatia, and we with small populations but is football giants.

Warmonga - nah worry.
'Gora' is urdu for 'whiteboy'
