Why India with ~1.5 billion people, is not playing at the football World Cup? The question that pops up every 4 years (like Ochoa) is doing the rounds again, but this time it is way more painful and personal. 1/n

One "Disgrace of Gijón" prompted rule changes
44 years later we have:

Australia vs Paraguay - Disgrace achieved ✅
Algeria vs Austria - Disgrace loading
Croatia vs Ghana - Disgrace loading

Will be happy if they play football but there's sufficient reason to believe they won't

Starting tonight you'll see all the shock fixtures getting scheduled due to the new format. This 32-team knockout bloodbath will wipe out most Big teams. Hate to break it but folks in India planning to watch the World Cup Quarter-final onwards are in for a lot of disappointment!

[Wayward Peary @SooperPippo]

Portugal starts every game with the best XI as per current form, CR7 comes off the bench in 2nd half & celebrates the easy victory with the whole team...maybe even get some goals in the process. Why is it so difficult?

[Wayward Peary @SooperPippo]

One more hour till streets realize that Portugal has by far the strongest odds to lift the FIFA World Cup 2026 if team selection is done based on current pedigree. 🇵🇹

Billion dollar-AI has released tonight's France vs Senegal FIFA World Cup match report even before kick-off! You can show this to your manager.

Now Senegal, fight for humanity. ✊🏼

@abhijitmajumder 2035 now? This is why Chuni Goswami said that it will never happen. He passed away in 2020 watching the goalpost shift for decades. https://t.co/0WDyATbql5

India has Cricket, so we don't need Football?
Japan has Martial Arts.
Korea has Archery.
Brazil has Volleyball.
New Zealand has Rugby.
Canada has Ice Hockey.
France has Cycling.
Norway has Skiing.
Mexico has Boxing.

Are they all stupid to be competing in Football? Sour grapes.

@ThenNowForeve Players better than the ones forming Indian team exist in numbers, but do not have a route to selection. We will keep finding excuses https://t.co/0WDyATbql5

As an Indian, I'm mighty proud of our Captain Fantastic @chetrisunil11.
As a football fan, I believe it is wrong to compare him with Lionel Messi. @vinuct #rstats #IIMT #IIMTrichy #dataviz #datavisualization #storytelling #RealityCheck #Messi #SunilChhetri #Indianfootball #FIFA

you would receive colourful labels calling you a hater or worse. I still chose this delicate topic for my Data Visualization project during MBA. A simple graph to dispel that misleading narrative, fetched top grades for myself but did not have the legs to educate masses. 8/n
