It is a good achievement for the football team, as earlier we were very lowly placed even in Asia. Let govt promote non cricket games. They should award some award for this team. Had a cricket team won some such tournament, cricketers would hv got lot of rewards, in addition to ardvertisement orders.

If this was a cricket win, there would hv been a few hundred messages by now. What a shame for the countrymen. That is the reason we do not get medals in Olympics. Cricket is a time consuming, non-competitive (as only a few former British countries play it) and drain on our resources (as we finance the world cricket).
It is really strange that there is no recognition for Indian Football at all..adding more to its dismay is the recent victory in Olympics that has really overshadowed such a big victory for Indian Football...

Instead of being happy that we r not very good at football, u should try to introspect, how the situation can b improved. Only making fun will not help. They hv now achieved something and need our encouragement instead of ridicule.
People are getting carried away, and now they got an oppurtunity to blast cricketers for losing 1 sereis, forgetting the poor umpiring that cost us. Will the likes of Chettri if selected to teams like EPL, score goals against ferdinand,terry,carvalho,cannavaro,Nemanja vidic if he plays against such classy defenders. Bhutia dint even score at 2nd dicision football. SO let India first beat japan,s korea and then ppl celebrate

Dear Sandeep. We Indians hv got addicted to Cricket, causing great harm to other games. The only solution for this is to BAN CRICKET & ITS LIVE TELECAST FOR AT LEAST 15 YRS.

Cricket is played by dozen countries and you feel that India is doing well (even in this dozen they are not no 1 ) and football is played by more than 100 countries and try to appreciate this inspite of no patronisation and sponsorship like sickening cricket.

Well .. i love Cricket as much as Football .. but just like it took 1983 world cup win (which mind you was played by 8 odd countries) .. i feel if nurtured properly a good performance in Asia Cup 2011 would really give a major boost to Football in India ... Cricket is still played within 8 main countries... and no matter how bad we perform there is no way u will be relegated to a lower level ... so sometime or the other u will find some good players to raise the bar ...
So, don't underestimate this performance ... Football is way too popular in the world as compared to Cricket ...
