We were almost at the car, when we heard a strange call ( Read more... ) -

For the love of the game
Most people in India as far as I have seen only watch football or get excited about it once in 4 years during the world cup. During this time, it's quite common to support the traditional power houses of football i.e brazil , argentina.
Also, most people tend to rant about the game..as if it's second nature to them..yet few play the sport or follow ( Read more... )
