" A Billion Cheated " was the headline of a newspaper, a few days back... as IPL got its mask unraveled, as a Fixed show..!!
Now, i dont understand whats wrong with it!! Wasn't IPL triggered, to make money??
BCCI makes it from Franchises and Players sold; Franchise Owners make it from Sponsors and Ticket sales; Players make it from franchises bought; Sponsors make it from increasing Sales; People make it from Bettings... ranging from a petty amount of a few hundreds among friends and online websites... to a few crores among riches and bookies...!
It was all set, like a WWE show, to entertain people with a script, and make money. Everyone were happy too, until Season 6, where the truth has come out...!
If the game has happened, the way it should... NONE would have felt bad, even if he had lost some Money. But here, the game got altered and has run under someone else's wishes... driving our losses, to their profits... making EVERYONE feel bad!!
A person might enjoy a fair loss of a Crore rupees, but would never accept an unfair loss, even of a mere Ten rupees.
There came the problem, when a few players got caught under 'Spot-fixing', making Indians go viral against IPL and Cricket too.
Of course MI won, and many have enjoyed their success. Especially when they won over CSK...!
But it was too late, by then. At least a half of India has lost their interest and didn't care, who has won the season..!
Now, the Champions Trophy is live, with all the 8 big Nations playing, resembling a mini WC. Still...Not many are interested in that.
They have had enough, from IPL. It will take some time, for the Indians to be back and enjoy cricket... ' Heartily '...!! Also, On the flip side... each match comprising of 100 overs, is equivalent to 2 and 1/2 IPL matches, which is too much to be seen, continuously. So, no chance, for now.

Now on the other hand, we have Football, with winners as following, for the Major Leagues of the Year 2012-13:
England - Manchester United
Germany - Bayern Munich
Russia - CSKA Moskva
Scotland - Celtic
France -Paris Saint German
Spain - Barcelona
Turkey - Galatasaray
Netherlands - Ajax
Italy - Juventus
Portugal - Porto
India - Churchill brothers
UCL - Bayern Munich
UEL - Chelsea
Football is a sport being played by 196 Nations, and in each Country, at least 3 to 10 leagues happen, every year. Then, they have Region wise cups, State wise, Nation wise, Continent wise and at last... World Cup, where all the 196 National teams themselves, compete for glory, to have their hands on the Cup...!
Now, such a sport is not cared much in India, which in turn is damaging the morale of the players who play for our country... resulting in poor performances all the way, making us hang around a rank of 140-150...!!
There have been some publicity events held, like Maradona's visit; Bollywood XI vs Cricket XI; Drogba, Lampard and Torres's visit; and so on. But never has some craze sought Football in India. Indian's doesn't watch football because, Indian players are not winning, and they are not winning because, we are not watching...! :\
There are some academies being held in Mumbai and Goa, by Boca juniors (Argentine club), and Manchester United and some other EPL teams, who are undertaking kids at an age of 5 and are training them, to get the best of them.
Also, QPR owner, Laxmi Mittal, took some 5 to 6... 12 year kids to England and is giving them the required training there.
Also, Manchester City are looking for a tie-up with Churchill brothers of India, who play along side of "Goa", for future endeavours in India.
Also, an IPL style football league is being planned to be held in Goa from 2014. Of course it is facing some oppositions from AIFF and I-League, but i hope it will come over them and get into action, unlike ' Premier League Soccer India ', which was to start in 2012, but got stopped for no specific reason...!!!
With all such advancements being happen around... We can expect a better future for Indian football in the coming few years...! Now, I dont seek a better time than this, for the Indians to Choose a team and Come fall in love, by shifting their gears and steering towards the 'Biggest Sporting Religion of the World'...!!!
Football is not just about Game. It is a lot more about History, Legends, Loyalty, Team, Respect, Derby's, Honours, Trophies, Transfers, Managers, Players, Money, Academies, Youth, Fans and a looooot more...!! :D So, give your shot at it. I bet... once you get into it, you will never ever think of getting out of it, ever again :)
