Dear Stephen, You may be right in some of your Analysis of this ISL Football league but my analysis differ especially in the last 2 semi-finals between Atletico de Kolkata and Goa FC and this is what i can conclude below.
Watching the second live ISL football or is it ISL Footfall? between ATK and Goa FC; the following is what I want to summarize and convey to one and all.. IN THE FIRST PLACE WATCHING THIS PARTICULAR GAME ON TV BETWEEN GOA FC AND ATLETICO DE KOLKATTA WAS A DRAB AND A BORE AFFAIR. THIS GAME WAS ONE GAME THAT WAS SURELY MATCH FIXED BY THE SO CALLED KOLKATTA FOOTBALL MAFIA AND ITS COHORTS. I WONDER HOW MUCH THEY PAID ANDRE SANTOS TO SHOOT THE BALL OVER THE GOAL POST RATHER INSIDE??? BOTH COMBINED i.e. ZICO UNDER THE TABLE. KOLKATTA IS NOTORIOUS FOR MATCH FIXING AS THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR REPUTATION IN FOOTBALL INTACT AND FLYING HIGH, BUT THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT WITHOUT ANY MERITS OF THEIR OWN AND RATHER GET IT DONE BY SOMEONE ELSE, WHICH COULD, BY ALL MEANS BE POSSIBLE WITH THE HELP OF ITS ORGANIZERS, THE MAFIA AND PATRONIZERS TO TOW INLINE AND LINE THEIR POCKETS AS WELL AS ALL SUNDRY INVOLVED. TODAY SPORT HAS BECOME TOTALLY COMMERCIALIZED RATHER A TREAT TO WATCH; AS A SPORT FOR SPORT LOVERS. HUGE HEAPS OF MONEY IS PILED BY THESE SO CALLED SPORT ORGANIZERS WHERE THEY KNOW LITTLE OF THE GAME AND SELDOM HAVE ANY IDEAS RELATING TO THE GAME OF THE FINER RUDIMENTS OF THE GAME? THEIR MAIN CONCERN IS TO KEEP THEIR REPUTATION FLYING HIGH AND ALSO MAKE A FAST BUCK IN THE QUICKEST TIME POSSIBLE. IT IS SHAME TO ISL FOOTBALL LEAGUE ORGANIZERS THOUGH NO ONE CAN BELIEVE OR DETECT THE MICRO NUANCES AS TO HOW THESE SO CALLED MONEY BARONS PLAN TO EXECUTE UNDERHAND DEALINGS; IS LIKE A SHARP EDGE SWORD NOT KNOWING WHETHER THE THROW IS SLIT OR IS IT STILL INTACT? BY CONTRAST GOA FC TEAM WAS A FAR SUPERIOR AND BETTER TEAM THAN ATK AND THE REST AND THEY RIGHTLY DESERVE FULL PRAISES SPECIALLY AFTER THEIR RESURRECTION FROM DOWN AND UP AND ALSO UNTIL THE 2 SEMI-FINALS CLASH WITH ATK…....SOME CAN VERY WELL SEE HOW OUR PLAYERS PERFORMED IN BOTH THE SEMI FINALS, WAS IT NOT A REPEAT OF THE FIRST? ALL PRAISE TO ROMEO AND MANDAR FOR THEIR PAR EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AND THEY BLENDED WELL WITH TEAM OF FC GOA. THEY TRULY DESERVE A COMMENDABLE APPRECIATION AND AN AWARD TOO. AS FOR SANTOS I HAD A VERY BIG OPINION OF THIS PLAYER OF WHOM I CAN SAY WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST IN THIS ISL FIRST SEASON BUT THAT WAS NOT BE IN CONCLUDING OF MY FINAL OPINION OF HIM, ANYWAY I LEAVE THIS TO OTHERS TO SUM IT UP. BUT OF THE BENGALI PLAYERS; TODAY THERE ARE NO GOOD BENGALI FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND SO THEY RECRUIT PLAYERS FROM OTHER STATES MORE SO FROM GOA AS WELL AS FOREIGN PLAYERS OF WHO MOST ARE FROM NIGERIA (AFRICA) AND OTHER PARTS JUST TO KEEP THEIR FLAG FLYING HIGH IN FOOTBALL AND NOTHING ELSE. THEY RECRUIT GOAN FOOTBALL PLAYERS BY PAYING THEM BIG AMOUNTS SO AS TO SUBDUE THE GOAN TEAMS AND TAKE THE CREAM OUT OF THEM BUT WHAT GOOD HAS IT COME TO THE GOAN PLAYERS AS THEY ARE EITHER MADE TO SIT AND WARM UP THE BENCHES OR OVERFED TO MAKE THEM LAZY AND PERFORMANCE LESS SO IN OTHER WORDS THE GOAN PLAYERS ARE NOT ABLE TO SHINE AND PERFORM TO THE HILT AND THUS EVERYTHING IS LOST TO THE WIND TO MAR THE GOAN FOOTBALL REPUTATION AT LARGE. TO KEEP ON EYE ON THESE UNDERHAND DEALINGS ESPECIALLY THE MAFIA CLAN OF KOLKATTA FOOTBALL CLUBS, A THIRD EYE MUST BE KEPT SO AS TO MONITOR THE NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE IN FOOTBALL GAME IN INDIA. ONLY THEN TRUE JUSTICE CAN BE DONE TO THE FOOTBALL SPORT WHERE IT DESERVES RIGHT PLACE AND TO THE RIGHT PLAYERS AND THE TEAM IN RIGHT SPIRIT OF THE WORD CAMARADERIE AND WIN TRUE ACCOLADE FROM THE PEOPLE OF FOOTBALL LOVING GAME. I THINK THIS FIRST ISL LEAGUE COULD BE A HOG WASH JUST TO LINE THE POCKETS OF THE ORGANIZERS, MAFIA AND PATRONIZERS RATHER THAN CREATE GOOD INDIAN PLAYERS FROM THESE GAMES AND FINALLY IT ALL ENDS UP TO A FAIR AND SQUARE PLAY IN THE TRUE SPIRIT OF THE SPORTING TOO....... SHAME ON ATK MAFIA FOOTBALL AND ITS COHORTS. NO PRAISES TO THEM WHATSOEVER.
