Indian football team is getting better

I am happy to see resurgent energetic Indian football team much superior to the lack lustre teams of the past. I wouldn't agree more in thanking the ISL organizers who are very instrumental to start this ISL tournament that has finally brought a change in the quality of Indian football.

It has been 70 plus years of independence and by now Indian soccer should have been in the level of world class teams but for the negligence of the past governments and the AIFF. I will not hesitate in calling the attention of the PM Narendra Modi to look into the matter.
