"When you start supporting a football club, you don't support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong."

Save Neville Dsouza ground. Neville Dsouza ground serves as a vital hub for Mumbai and Maharashtra football, hosting matches per season for youth, school, college, and senior teams. Save mumbai football. Save Neville Dsouza ground.
What a performance. He offers you almost everything from setpieces to ball carries to defending and so much more. Best midfielder in the world currently no debate about it.
@MrUnkno46916866@Shuizi220096@harsh03443@iiamkrshn Countries that elevated football (Japan, South Korea, even smaller nations) did so via sustained fan culture + investment, not by deemphasizing popularity. India has the population the missing piece is converting passive/global club fans into sustained domestic league passion.
@MrUnkno46916866@Shuizi220096@harsh03443@iiamkrshn Volleyball is a popular sport but far smaller globally than football. Fewer countries invest heavily at the elite level, so mid-tier rankings are easier. India's men's volleyball team sits around 50-58 in FIVB respectable for an underdog, but not proof of superior efficiency.
@MrUnkno46916866@Shuizi220096@harsh03443@iiamkrshn Corporate money follows eyeballs football (and other sports) starve for investment and visibility
Media hypes cricket 24/7 it becomes cultural default, while football gets scraps.
