Well deserved victory
Wednesday, August 29, 2007
It was a well earned victory and India played some solid aggressive football (its the most popular sport in the world ... americans insist on calling it "Soccer", but I know it as "Football") in the finals yesterday to shut out Syria & lift the Nehru Cup. Watching the news and reading some articles before the match, came to know that there's more to it, much more than just a 11 member Indian team going out there and playing the 90 minutes. Full credit to Bob Houghton and his team as they ended up defeating 112 ranked Syria.
Its high time we started a movement, enough cribbing about Cricket and treating the players as Gods; I hope we end up re-building our training facilities, promoting fresh talent and attracting sponsors; for money and in turn facilities are a major hurdle right now.
Hope the good work continues and that we do strike while the iron is still hot.
