Just show me a single line where I said because of ISL we won today's match. Don't try to teach me at least about football.
That's why I am not give that much of time on IFN. I don't want to make a comparison between I League or ISL that's your job and you doing it successfully. Indian people are culturally rich compare to other country in the world. Here if you want to bring people at the ground we need to give a entertainment package of 90 mins. It is AIFF's fault that they are unable to tap the crowd and bring people to the ground.
Here in ISL every match broadcasted in multiple channels, what was missing in I league, people started to recognizing players and connect with them through social media. Back in early 2000 or simply go back 8 years in 2010 we have players like Mahesh Gowli, How many people knows about him. And look how people recognizing players like Jhingan. Every person feels better when they got recognition from people. Its encourage them to perform better. Unless until people involved with their players, the game will never improved.
Last time when you saw, a national team match was telecast by multiple channels, directly or indirectly ISL has some impact on this.
Blue pilgrims becoming an influencing factor for the national team performance, just make an analysis of their member, most of them belong to ISL clubs supporter. Have you ever seen MB, EB, Dempo supporter collaborated like this...this culture came from ISL.
You can't ignore the kind of exposure the players got from their respective ISL teams. This make them know about their game better.
Problem with us. We simply not analyze each and every thing. And when we see a comment about ISL give a lol. Grow up bro. Try to analyze things.
I would like to said it again ISL is the one only reason for the resurgence of the Kerala Football. Similar thing goes for Tamilnadu as well. New teams like Gokulam kerala fc any many more coming up with numbers its a good sign for Indian football.
I don't have enough time to analyse each and every thing, besides IFN I have a life where I have to give enough time. So sometimes it is impossible to analyse every bit of things. And after a months when you comeback and post a comment. Nobody try to understand the logic rather become busy to press the lol button. And trolled you back, I recognized them as a kid.
I agree with some of your points, but I stand with my belief that isl has done more hurm then good to Indian football, your favorite club Mohun Bagan will shutdown next year due to financial crunch And you know who killed the league in which MB played.
Let’s empathise with Indian football captain. But why should fans crowd stadiums to watch tournaments with few thrills?
The nation empathised with India’s football skipper Sunil Chhetri when he released a video pleading with countrymen to spare the time to watch the national team play in Mumbai. Sportspersons live for the days when they step on the turf with fans waving national flags, chanting their names. Sporting icons, from Sachin Tendulkarto Virat Kohli, understand that emotion and have lent Chhetri their support. They, too, requested the country’s football fans to turn up in hordes to fill the Mumbai Football Arena, where India is up against fellow Lilliputians of the football galaxy — Kenya, New Zealand and Chinese Taipei, all ranked several rungs below India’s perch at 97.
While Chhetri’s grouse is understandable, to expect full houses for football matches is a tough ask, not least when football-watching audiences are still recovering from the season-long fatigue of watching the European leagues in time for the World Cup in Russia. A tournament in the fleeting interlude, featuring India and the minnows, can’t complain of a lack of viewership. In an ideal (or as the saffronistas would insist, patriotic) world, the multitudes should be queuing up to grab the tickets for the match. But mass appeal, footballers and sportsmen should realise, is not an entitlement. People watch what appeals to them. It’s no secret that national football doesn’t, not with its mediocrity and the tendency to shrink and shiver at the sight of even Asian’s middle-rung teams like Oman and Turkmenistan. Indian football is light years away from matching the Middle East powerhouses or the West Asian sparklers.
Indian audiences, though, have always rewarded quality — for instance, the FIFA U-17 World Cup, which featured some of the most talented young players. They also crowd the terraces when it comes to I-League matches like the Kolkata derby, or the Indian Super League matches. But mostly that is because of the skills of an African striker, or a South American player who couldn’t make it to the main league back home. So while there could be empathy for Chhetri, the bottomline is that a tournament with few thrills to offer in World Cup season will have few takers.
@goalkeepar Bro I don't know from where you got the news of MB. And I don't want to delve into it as well.If its happen(which is completely impossible because it is a peoples club not a corporate one) ,it's not because of isl, it because of their internal conflicts. You can't blame others for your own failure. Change is the rule of the nature you have to change with time, otherwise you will lost your existence with the passage of time. I think you got my point. Last but not the least... If you felt bad because of my comment. I am sorry for that.
@Rav92, it's OK. You mentioned Chhetri in the same breath as you gushed about impact of ISL on 'resurgence' of Indian football. So I took it for what I said.
Since you mentioned it, I am still not convinced on the real impact of ISL on the quality of Indian football. ISL hasn't given birth to a single player, neither they have improved the system. They are just doing it with the stars recycled from the creaking old Indian football system. Their academies are jokes. Their promise of upliftment/ building of stadiums are more cruel jokes.
I also do not understand what has 'resurgence' in Kerala & TN football has lent to Indian football in general. What ISL has given Indian football is the packaging, telecast, first-person experience of the game. None of this is directly related in upliftment of Indian football, apart from attaching some euro- and cricket- fans (remember those 'Sachin' chants, or, in this match, the poster: 'Thanks a ton, Sunil'?). A ton, as we know it, is a hundred runs, a century in cricket parlance.
ISL is just a niche, insular product detached from the harsh reality of Indian football. It is just a consumer product, not aimed at any viable ecosystem. Compare Thailand football scenario with us to get a real picture. And don't link it to the 'improvement' ( ) of our football.

Chhetri’s despair

And Chhetri, what have we done to deserve him ?
Of course India cannot compete with second tier countries but that has nothing to do with supporting the NT team no matter who they play.
The guy written seems to be an euro la masia type idiot.
