FIFA Want Football In India!

[Tiger Awan]

Hmmm, Barca don't value him too highly because frankly speaking, they don't NEED him. Even if he ends up at Barca, he'll be warming up the bench behind Xavi and Iniesta. They've bid 27 mil just to pacify the fans.

PS: Did Barca bid 37 mil for Sanchez? I thought it was a player + cash offer...

no. 37 million just. Thiago and Bojan don't want to go there

India's got a lot of great wrestlers, they've got Kushti and Vajra musti to thank.
I just wish India would promote other sports besides cricket. And I agree with Liquid, until another world cup or big match against pakistan, I'm the least interested.

Ortega for Dempo Sc, India?

Ariel Ortega on Dempo radar - The Times of India

Ortega for Dempo?

May be Ortega at 36 is far from his peak, but inclusion of a player of his stature definitely bring necessary attention towards Indian football. He can be that for Indian football what Zico was for Japan. Hope others club to try to bring in top players who are just out of their peak.

FIFA has smelt the coffee....oops..........the money!

It is a good thing.

All this fascination in cricket and big money will get evened out in India.
