Greatest quotes of football :
1.“The downfall of the great has always been the joy of the mediocre.”
2. " Ronaldo still has to achieve Messi's failures"
O Neymar fazer esse gol e sair provocando o goleiro da Noruega dizendo “comigo não” perdendo tempo enquanto a seleção é eliminada foi uma das coisas mais constrangedoras que eu já assisti nesse esporte. E isso define o que o Neymar é e sempre foi: um autocentrado.
VIDEO | Delhi: Ganga Ram Hospital dietician Aakanksha Arya explains the nutritional impact of replacing eggs with paneer and soybeans in mid-day meals.
She says, "Eggs cannot truly be replaced by any other single food. They are an excellent source of high-quality protein and also provide vitamin B12, vitamin D, essential amino acids, and healthy fats... If schools currently serve eggs once or twice a week, replacing them would require providing an equivalent amount of protein from other foods, which many children may not be be able to consume in sufficient quantities. There is also an economic concern, as many families may not be able to afford eggs at home if they are removed from school meals. Eggs play a vital role in a child's growth and development, so they should not be replaced."

Did a little more research on this singularly ill timed decision by the AIFF to change the name to Football Federation of Bharat and mandate a 4 minute song(which FIFA will never allow for internationals) before each AIFF match.
And it turned out that neither of these items were actually on the agenda before the meeting, and came as a surprise to most in the meeting. And these items were never put on vote or passed.
But according to the AIFF's own press release the same day, it seemed to be a done deal.
"It was further resolved that a proposal be submitted to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) for renaming the All India Football Federation (AIFF) as the Football Federation of Bharat (FFB).
It was also decided that the National Anthem 'Jana Gana Mana' and the National Song 'Vande Mataram' shall be played before the commencement of all football matches conducted under the aegis of AIFF."
The fact is that the AIFF elections are in a few months, and this is an excellent way to make sure that this election will be fought on name changes and national songs, when what it should really be decided on is how well or badly the current lot is running the sport and whether they should or should be replaced.
It is also a terrible disservice to many sincere AIFF state representatives who would have been just as surprised by this sudden development, and who would needlessly be the object of ire and ridicule among their own constituents.
There is a way of changing all of this. But it starts with at the state level with each sport and a collective will to end this nonsense and lack of accountability.
I plan to give it a proper shot
