There has been clear domination of Australia when it comes to the World Cup history. They first won the championship in 1987, under the captaincy of Allan Border.

World football is familiar with the term ‘Ultras’ for a while now — they are supposedly the wildest, craziest and the most passionate of football fans. The likes of St. Etienne, Legia Warsaw, APOEL Tel Aviv, Ajax, Napoli and Olympique Marseille have world-famous (or infamous, as per your tastes) Ultras, but it is a culture that has, by and large, been restricted to Europe. Hence, it comes as a bit of a shock then, to see the same Ultras dominating Indian football grounds....

“This I-League is very exciting for us. I proposed that the team [should] play in I-League.

I have seven players who in two years time can play AFC qualifiers for U-20 World Cup....

The Australian’s shot went over the bar just from outside the box much to the relief of Arnab. The hosts rallied on in the last ten minutes desperately to get an equaliser but failed miserably....

Ahead of the important clash against Neroca, Bagan coach Sanjoy Sen addressed the media and stressed the fact they cannot afford to lose points in their home matches. Sen said, “We have to learn from our past mistakes. It is not that we haven’t scored goals in the game against Minerva and Lajong, the two games we dropped points in.
