With the sudden deluge of self-proclaimed 'brown soccer banterers' on TTP, maybe some of you can answer me this; why the fcuk is India so rubbish at football at world level? This isn't a piss-take but a question that has plagued my very being for too long now. I see Indians playing football every weekend in the parks around here and we all know about the number who play in Vancouver so what's the deal? Why is the Indian national side so shite? Why, given the fact Indians have now been living in the UK for so long, aren't there any Indian players even in the lower echelons of the Nationwide League, nevermind the Premiership? The level of organisation in the Vancouver area in the Indian footballing community has always impressed me and has produced some superb players, particularly in the past ten years so why can't a country with a population the size of India's produce a better world product?
I know cricket is the passion in many parts of India but surely the law of averages, given such a massive population, should be putting out better players? It just doesn't add up or have I, as usual, missed something profound?
