@goalkeepar its not something to be proud of or gloat over...if Indians are not playing correct football then its the responsibility of us fans to raise these issues and make the federation more accountable to us.
The problem now is, fans are able to watch all the matches of our youth teams live. We notice in these matches that only few teams like India play this kind of football. Some teams even though they not win the matches, play attractive passing football. And our team that has players who have played a lot of exposure matches before, doesnt show the quality that they have gained over these years. I am not worried about the results, I am actually worried about the future of these players.
This news is not related to India, anyway posting it here.
Bangladesh Football Federation has appointed three British coaches at the BFF Football Academy in Dhaka’s Beraid in order to train up the country’s young footballers with advanced skills and tactics.
Andrew Peter Turner will join there as the Lead Academy Coach, Robert Marin Ryles as the National Youth Coach and Robert Andrew Mimms as the Goalkeeping Coach.
Ahead of their join to the academy, the coaches will talk to media about their duties and work plans for improving the next generation footballers.
They will meet the journalists at a press conference at Matijheel BFF house at 1:30 pm on Thursday.
Sports reporters and the photojournalists from all the media outlets are cordially invited to join the briefing.
I think genes are a lazy excuse. What we clearly miss is the culture, which plays a huge part in the development of a young footballer. India for instance because of its cricket culture produces a massive pool of top quality players. From a very young age they are surrounded by family dinner cricket talk, start watching matches from age 2-3, where they see batsmen and mimic their body language in gully cricket. The level of gally cricket is higher than some associate cricketing countries lower down in icc tiers.
Most Indian footballers start playing properly in school and then get recruited around 15-16 for football academies, which is too late in modern football. Kids in england are ready for loan by 18. Our kids learn the basics.
Yes we do have under 10 leagues now in last two three years which have a lot of hobbyists, which is fine but they still aren't surrounded in football culture .They just go on weekends come back, chill. Still too early.
In England people go support their local clubs , where amateurs play. Conference game playoffs are full sold out. The passion is unparallel, here we complain about quality but watching sports has nothing to do with quality, hell we enjoyed our school house team matches where everyone was dogshit.
This will change when national team starts doing well. And patriotism mixes with the sport like cricket. It's a vicious cycle.
@Naujawan: Mohammedan SC youth team, not MB youth team. Also @goalkeepar blunder or goalkeeper blunder?
On a different note, this tournament is turning out to be a real dampener. Some good players with potentialities but the whole thing is being conducted in an amateurish manner. The commentary too is ridiculous, a melange of Bengali and English. Seems the aim of the organizers is to grab eyeballs and indulge in some self-congratulation, not to scout genuine footballing talents in Bengal.
@thebeautifulgame oh my bad. Yeah the commentary does sound funny "ektaaaa kintu.. shssshh.. Ummmm.. different kind of... Umm thing hoye gelo, jekhaane kothay kichu nei, shekhane hothat kore goal hoye gelo'
Hahahahaha
. Harsha had interesting insight on how commentary has changed over the years, apparently producers force them to keep talking so that it's not blank in highlights reel. So gone are the days of 'takes a single' --- (deafening silence)
It's a start howereh, but can the maintain the finances ?
Report: Football leads Delhi University applications under sports quota
The admission process for one of the country’s most prestigious institutions is set to kick-start soon.
Delhi University is about to start the admission process to it’s undergraduate courses when it releases the first cut-off list on 28 June, 2019. However, it also reserves 5% of the seats under the sports quota for students who aspire to make their careers in the field of sports. Incidentally, football has emerged as the most popular option for the aspirants as far as the applications data released by the university is concerned.
The trial for admission under the sports quota will be held on 2nd July and the students will get their chance to make a mark and apply through games such as football, basketball, volleyball and cricket among others. The trial usually has a 40-60% weightage between certificates of the aspirants and their performance in the trials, which is where the students are marked upon.
The University has received a total of 8,690 applications under the sports quota where football leads with 1,578 applications while 1,297 for athletics and 1,223 have applied for basketball. There are 1,001 students who have applied for cricket.
The numbers are more significant because in a country like India, where Cricket rules the roost, it is heartening to see young budding talents of the nation being attracted to other games as well, let alone football.
“The surge in the popularity of football could be due to many reasons. Cricket's showpiece Indian Premier League (IPL) has spawned leagues in many other sports, and Indian Super League is one of the prominent ones," an official from the University of Delhi said Millenium Post.
The official further added to his comments by referring to the steps taken by the AIFF to promote football at school level. Furthermore, organising events like THE FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2017 and the upcoming FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in 2020 have attracted youngsters to football.
Moreover, students from various parts of the country flock to New Delhi in hope getting admission to the institution, and a large part of the crowd comes from the northeast part of India, where football is a huge part of the culture. This results in more students wanting to make a name through football.
The official also credited the past performances of the alumni for the spurt in applications under the sports quota by saying that. “Students and parents prefer to take sports such as football and athletics as it involves physical work. In the last few years, our athletes have been getting medals and international recognition, which is encouraging for young students.”
However, it must be noted that the growth in football applications is just a start and more colleges need to individually realise and capitalise on the trend, since as for now, only 24 colleges accept students on football quota, which is still less if compared to other games like athletics (30), basketball (42) and cricket (31).
