Bihar set to get its first-ever Football league known as "Bihar Premier league". League is set to start later this year, most probably by November end. League will have 8-10 teams from different districts of Bihar and teams will play on home and Away basis.
Sirsh Bihar FC are conformed for 2nd division, they will play from moin-ul-hauque stadium Patna, they have 3 foreigners also and they will also filed a team in IWL this season
Moin ul Haque stadium is basically a cricket stadium leased by Bihar Cricket Association. Ranji Trophy plate group matches would be played there. We might see football being played with cricket pitch in the centre.
Presenting you all the 14-member Indian contingent (six-a-side) for the upcoming International Socca Federation (ISF) World Cup in Crete, Greece that is scheduled to start in just a week's time. Show some support for the Men in Blue as they are all set to embark on this historic journey.
I don't know if this fits here but since 6th October is the second anniversary of u17 world cup 2017 and India's first match in a WC, I just found in facebook memories something I wrote before the start of Indian campaign. Freakishly some of the things i analyzed came true. Here it goes - "Expecting unrealistic feats from tge indian u17 football team in the world cup would be a folly and would end up pressurising the colts and leaving us disappointed. Far from thinking of India clearing the group stage, it would be an achievement if they can atleast snatch one draw against the likes of U.S.A, Columbia and Ghana. And i am not being pessimistic but realistic. Having seen this team play in tournaments last year and this year as well, 2 glaring flaws are immediately evident - This team relies on a single style of play: midfield passes to wingers who run up and cross the ball in tge box for the strikers. Although this is a good strategy but they have no alternative style of attacking. These guys do not/unable to play through the centre of the pitch and also cannot play tge intricate short passing play. They just have a unilateral style which will be caught on by the opposition quite easily.
Secondly this team do not possess good midfielders who have the vision to pick out that through pass. Many a times the defenders sinply bypass the central midfield and straight away thump a long ball to the wingers and leave the attacking to them alone. Neither is there a great sense of positioning among tge players as to be aware of each others' movement and position. Our players have individual skill set but that total team play and understanding each other is missing during a game.
So although i do not expect great things from this team (though i would welcone a surprise or two), the world cup would be great exposure for our players and maybe help tgem in improving their game and indian football as well. Best of luck guys!! #BackTheBlues"
