The so called "Friends" who now know about ISL as a league are those "Friends" who saw fake reports in media that Beckham is playing, Messi is playing, Thierre Henry is playing. Once those "Friends" realise that these Super Stars are not there, they will go back to their sleep.
ISL has not put India on any map unless it starts nobody in world would give a fuck. Seriously the level of play would not improve or even get better. Chinese Super League, Iran pro League, A-League which all are somewhere around top 25-40 in world have 200 times better players and quality than this tamasha.
the sun group have burned the contract papers and runned away after realizing that img-r have enmity with JSW but now the ambanis have haired @coolgagan to cool it down
If ISL is so good, will FIFA recognise this ISL? Will AFC allow ISL club to play in their AFC Cup or any other tournament. Just putting some retired unfit player or academy reject and running a rumour mill campaign that Thok denge or Thierre Henry is coming do not mean success. It is August 2014 already. Can anybody even has a team roster??? A single training session? A website? A schedule of matches? Coach, training staff?? Remember how this IMG-Reliance people were visiting Brazil to inspect stadiums, talk to players during World Cup and ended up in Black Marketing of tickets instead. Same mentality is displayed here. All this fake campaign of Thok Denge and Thierre Henry, Dwight Yorke coming and in the end, tax evasion, fake invoices, rotation of black money thru Benami ownership. This is all ISL about.
People who believe that ISL has improved Indian Football should tell how Black marketing of world cup tickets in Brazil helped Indian Football? That visit was supposed to help Indian Football.
who were the IMG-Reliance people ? who visited Brazil to inspect stadiums ,sign players? some football pundits? no they were ambani kids and wife. very pro staff by IMG r.
@munna219777: Why don't you get above beckham, henry?? What is it that you are obsessed with these players....and every convo. we have about ISL, you end up putting the same point. Everyone knows they are not coming and no reputed article stated that. Why are you acting like a fool putting the same points again and again. And yes, FIFA has no problem with ISL. They already recognize it. And yes, if the league becomes long enough, then we will have clubs play for ACL. You are being too shortsighted as @arsenalfan700 rightly said. Its still a long way to go. You are acting as if everything has to been done in a day. REMEMBER, ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY. And yes @ashindia average indians will lose interest if the tournament is for 8 months. IMG itself accepts that. DOn't you read articles?? That is why IMG decided to test the waters and steadily go about increasing fan base and we can only have increase in length after 6-8 years if that happens. And if it anyways becomes 8 month league, obviously we will not have 40 year old pires styled players. You are just so stereotypical.
And all the foreigner players will be auctioned near the end of the international transfer market. Understand the realities of the transfer market kid. After that we will have a month and a half pre season with all the teams. And I suppose Indian players are training already.
Rise above HATE people. Hate against ISL. Let it grow. Any how many times do you have to be told that 2 months is not gonna help. Its a long effort. Only after the league sets, and the length increases then only we can comment on this issue.
No one is anti-Indian football if they don't support ISL. People have there own opinions on the matter. Some like it, some don't, some are in the middle (Like me).
Overall though, after reading like 10 pages of today's conversation this is probably my reaction:
Seriously, you guys do realize that this league has not even began yet and that changes will most likely happen after season one.
