Every team has a whipping boy, and a majority of times blame it's the defenders and GKs. It's very sad that people fail to realise systematic issues and there being literally no one to replace.

Since 2021, four elite women have been killed by their partners. Many others face violence.

There are many folks who think the popularity of Football is second to Cricket in India.

In reality, it's third. In a report on Indian Sports made by a Google-Delloite collab, out of the 655M demographic of Indian sports, Cricket leads with 492M fans, followed by Kabaddi (120M) and Football (85M).

Today marks one year since the last victory of the Indian Men's National Team.

Yet we keep on painting the rotten leaves and fruits while starving the roots of the tree.

It's sad how even big names like Wenger are completely ignorant of the non-existent grassroots and make delusional statements.

Afghanistan has unluckily found itself in the harsher side of the modern world. However, there are many stories of hope and pride from the simple game of football that brings joy to and excites the Afghans. Read "Demons and Dreams: The Story of Football in Afghanistan." ⬇️

Starter packs help you to mass follow a bunch of accounts related to a thing. Great feature, thanks for including me here.

Hope a respectable and non-abusive Indian football community can be built here.

It’s funny seeing people on Twitter be like “Lol Bluesky people will be back in a few days”

I think it’s safe to say many won’t fully abandon Twitter, but it’s nice to log onto an app and not worry about seeing blatant racism with 50k likes

This place really feels like the close knit-ish place with real interactions the way it was when I first opened a twitter account back in 2014. Hope it stays this way.

Will soon post my best articles here. It's on Mohun Bagan and Asian Football with particular focus on India.
