well said. I would like to ad one more point. * Lack of team spirit and selfishness.
BCCI should pool in money to promote Indian football to world standards. The greatest talents will come from Bengal, Goa and Northeastern states. Football is Prestige....Pleaseeeee train Indian coaches abroad and teach basic football skills at primary school level with nutrition and fitness regimen.

don't be so pessimistic. I am sure we will be participating in 3004 championship, provided we still exist as a nation.

Actually India did reach semi finals in Olympics in 1960 (?) and the Calcutta league always had world class players who could hold their own in any international outfit. Players like Chuni Goswami, Balaram, Ahmed Khan, PK Banerjee, Jarnail Singh, Prasun B, Manoranjan Bhattacharjee, Bidesh Bose were amazing players.

I think what he meant was not for order of the teams in the point table for deciding the order of play between teams. The top 2 teams in a group will meet in the second round. In the first round, the tow string teams will be paired with any of the other two teams based on alphabetical order. That means France and Italy are the two strongest team in this group and they will meet in the second round and the first round matchup for France and Italy is based on the alphabetical order. France could have played either Romania or Netherlands in the first round. Romania was chosen due to alphabetical reasons.
Complaints of no messages never should appear in case of football. For only interested need to watch and comment.
The timing of the matches seems to be the problem. One should have to watch it right through midnight. For me though a great fan of football, couldn’t watch full till today. But definitely today watch Dutch vs Portugal.
