It has not been that bad. People just had super-super high expectations... the build up over the last few months have been about ISL vs. I-League and it really got feisty so people come here and expect to be equal to Europe's best.
Graphics have gotten a lot better but the goals were sloppy.
It is not as if you have 6 World class guys. One team has Ofetensi Nato and Iain Hume playing. Another played in Greece last season. Meanwhile, Chennaiyin have such no name foreigners starting. Elano is something but Pontenza is a guy from the semi-pros last season in Italy, Mailson from Brazil's semi-pro level, Tefera average in South Africa at best, and Agusto is a reject from MLS.
How Mendy, Pellisari, and Mendoza are not starting I don't know but the lot they have starting now are "I-League quality" at best.
This is why Mendy is well worth $500,000... what a player, wow, would love him on my team. Never does anything wrong, gets his headers and decisions right 100% of the time.
