Guyz, think before start rejoicing. Last miniute goal by Syria in extra time and penalty shootout. Looks bit dramatic and filmy, and may be pre-plan to promote football in India. One can't ignore counrty of more than billion people don't take interest in football. Think about revenue it can generate from sponsorships/tv rights if football become popular in India.

Yes, I remember the great celebration at first T20 win..stagemanaged properly before the launch of IPL.
This is another IPL/Football. Otherwise beating Syria which ranks after 101 position held by Fjiji is a no big deal. Football is better than fancy cricket though.
We the fans require your continued support. With the size of our nation of a billion plus, am sure at least millions follow Indian Football. Appreciate your continued coverage of football in India
Gr8 effort by Team India notwithstanding the poor support of AIFF.All the players and coach deserve a great applause for their stellar performance inspite of bad handling of sport by AIFF.Way to go......
I don't understand one thing if we have won 3 tournaments how come we are ranked 156th. Sri Lanka, Kyrgyzstan, Syria. All these countries are ahead of us & we have been beating them for last 2 years??????
Congrats India, now reach the last 4 on Asian cup 20011 and then make it to world cup 2014. Now many Indians are getting bored by cricket so they should have a big choice of football. I like to see Indian players representing top European Clubs like Manc Utd, Real Md, Valencia & Chelsea.
