Kerala would have been better because West Bengal is in a mess. Delhi can not appreciate historic moments (Bayern Munich coming to India) like this.

Yuva Bharati Krirangan in Kalkata is one of the best turf for an international soccer match and also for sporting 80000 spectators. ANY OTHER VENUE EVEN KERALA IS NOT AT ALL SUITABLE FOR SAFETY REASONS.
It is really sad that in the quest for cricket, footbal has been ignored. My salutaions to Bhutia for carrying the load of an ignored sport in India for such a long time!
4-0 is not that bad a scoreline. I think one of those goals could have been prevented.
But then again, Bayern did not use full force in second half, so it remains to be seen.
One thing is clear, soccer has a bright future in India. Right now, we seem to be a cricket crazy nation, but in a few years, situation will not be that one-sided.
Well done Team India! We are so proud of you. I would like to ask the AIFF to host more such matches, and hopefully India can get to play some more top league players!!!!
Jeje, Bhutia and the rest of the Indian team playing along Ribery, Robben, Schweinsteiger and Mueller - what a dream come true!!!!
Still it's nice to see some quality players come to India and showcase their talent. Maybe it will prove to be an inspiration for the youngsters. Anyway, Bhutia deserved a farewell this big for all that he has done for the country. If only we had a few more like him, we could have been a more challenging side. Still, hope that he gets enough support now to mould many more like him
