A lot of people are realizing how good Japan are, they’re one of the most disciplined teams in this competition. They might not always have the biggest stars or the most expensive squad, but what they lack in individual hype they make up for with organization, intelligence and teamwork.
Every player knows his role, they press together, defend together and attack with purpose. Against bigger nations they never look intimidated, it’s how they beat the likes of Spain, Germany, Brazil, England in recent time, and that mentality has become one of their biggest strengths. You can see it in the way they keep their shape, recycle possession and stay patient even when under pressure.
At this point, calling Japan a dark horse is probably outdated. They’re no longer a team capable of causing an upset once in a while, they’re becoming a team that top nations genuinely have to prepare for. If you switch off for a moment against them, they’ll punish you. That’s the level they’ve reached.
Worst part is this seasonal Football fans are now crying why India is not qualified for Fifa World Cup
Where were you idiots when we wanted you to support ISL & NT
Let's be real you don't even watch Hockey and Kabaddi despite they are doing good
You only watch Cricket that's the only sports which was heavily marketed
Let's be honest Seasonal Indian Football fans are not even the true sports fan
They are attention seeker glory hunters that's it
FIFA WC comes and all the pundits come out again with the classic : "1.5 B population and not even 11 competitive players for Indian football." : True btw, country as big as europe, still 138th.
Every Odia son dreams of giving back to Maati Maa.
Today, one did it in style.
Sopnendu Mohanty our very own son from Odisha didn’t just return for his motherland . He brought Singapore’s advanced financial institutions to home.
Singapore chose Bhubaneswar. Not Mumbai. Not Bengaluru, not Hyderabad, not Chennai
GFTN (Global Finance & Technology Network), born from MAS Singapore, just opened its first India office in Bhubaneswar.
$ 100M+ FinTech corridor. 12-15 global giants. Partnerships with SBI, Ant International and more. NUS certified talent pipeline. InsurTech & GCCs.
This is Odisha’s FinTech decade starting now.
To every NRI Odia reading this,
Your motherland is calling. Not for sympathy. For partnership.
Whether you invest, mentor, bring talent, or simply amplify your capabilities can fuel this rise.
Because when one Odia son builds bridges with the world’s most advanced financial ecosystem, every Odia has a duty to walk on it.
For our roots. For our future. For the soil that raised us.
Rise of Odisha is not optional. It is inevitable.
If this decade also we can’t rise then definitely we will fall far behind in scale race.
