India wins Nehru Cup.....

...hello!!!! Its not some university Cricket tournament...its an international football tournament. India beat the much much higher ranked Syria 5-4 after a penalty shootout.
In a country obsessed by Cricket (I am also a cricket enthusiast) this was a welcome news...for once reported as headlines..even though for 15 minutes.
High time that we realise the potential we have in sports ther than Cricket. At least other sportspersons do take pride in playing for their country and not JUST earn in the name of playing for the country!!!!!

Nehru cup was not played for 10 years because of lack of sponsorship....hope someone will dole out some change for the most popular sport on the planet...so that it can flousih with new rich Indian talent...Amen!
