Dear all,
To lift the face of Indian sports,football should be encouraged.At least some importance should be given.Footballers should be paid atleast 25% money what cricketers are being paid.This will attract more youths, so that they will see a bright future in football also.The expenditure needed for this is mere when compared to what we spend for cricket.

CRICKET IS A VERY SLOW GAME LIKED BY LAZY PEOPLES.
FOOTBALL AS A QUICK GAME & CONSUMES LESS TIME - WILL MAKE GOOD IMPACT ON YOUTHS
May god bless all, thanking you

yes i think it is time we should shift our concentration from cricket and look for new games as well. we just can support one game in which we have just one world cup!! there is hockey as well. football is very energetic game and i think we should support it. india can do well in this game. we have many players from west bengal and assam who are football champions. indian goverment should encourage them and get them good coaching to qualify for next FIFA!!
 
football is great played and cherished by the east in some parts of north india also we can see people playing football. so it is a growing sport in our country. we have fans of football praising other nations during the fifa world cup. why support our own football team and give it good sponsoring and make it get into the fifa. its the negligence and ignorance of government and media which is making other sport lag.
 
India should advance football. the whole world is playing football, and India with a population of over a billion people, we got a big potential.
 
Of course football should be encouraged in india just like any other game such as cricket, hockey and golf. India is a country that has countless talented people but those people usually do not get their way due to the prevailing corruption. Football is the most famous game around the world may be more than cricket and must be encouraged in india as well.
 
Football is the most famous and most played sport in the world. excepted in the former english colonies is cricket not a well known sport, they even never heard about cricket.
 
india is only behind cricket as if there are no other games exists in india. There are many other games that government should take initiative in promoting those games such as hockey, football, basketball and soccer. Football should be encouraged as this game has a great scope in and around the world. government and parents should give stress on youngsters and children on playing football apart from cricket.
 
Why we all are after games which are originated from the other countries like cricket, football rugby etc. Why are we not interested in promoting our own game hockey? even government is showing no interest in the game and becoming indifferent towards the national sport. Why should we promote football why not the national game. These things are out of my mind and I am sure people even want to go for these international games rather than playing their national game.
 
No doubt football is an interesting game than cricket. There's no need of any encouragement to develop football interest in india. I don't think cricket was encouraged before kapil dev's world cup win in lords. Now Indians are quite bored with cricket and forwarding to football, so I hope and wish to see Indian national foot ball team in FIFA.
 
Who does not want many sports and opportunities in their country? everyone wants to engage themselves in some sports which is based internationally and played by people all around the world. If we are giving hype to cricket then why not football as this is the most popular game in the world.
 
i agree with sweetangel. Football should be encouraged as it is no less popular than cricket which is not an indian game. When we cannot encourage hockey or is ot so popular in india after being an indian game then at least we can make and take the initiative to at least encourage the game which is more popular than cricket around the world. Football should indeed be encouraged!
 
Definitely football should be encouraged. Football is having much popular fan following than cricket, and it is considered as a very interesting game when compared to cricket, where we find match fixings and all bull shits every now and then. Young sportsmen should realize football is a better game to practice than cricket. We all know Dhoni was used to be a goal keeper before and later he shuffled to cricket and now he's making pages in cricket history. Such a spark should rise in young India.
 
The days of cricket are going to over very soon. People are very interested and keen to play football in their free time. The government should encourage football players from village level to national level players. Publicity should be developed and done on football matches, which creates interests for youngsters to pick football as their game.
 
Football is encouraged by the schools and the government these days as it has been overtaken by the game called cricket. people, especially youngsters are more interested in playing cricket for their country as this game is the most popular game around the world. This game gives name, fame and money at its best. So, according to me this game should be highly encouraged by everyone.
 
It's a very good comment and point mentioned by khushboo. Football should be encouraged by government especially for the school kids. Now a days kids show a lot of interest towards football but they divert their minds to cricket as it can give them a guaranteed food. Whereas football is like throwing stone for a fruit hanging on tree. If government succeeds in giving a small push to school kids then there is no doubt that football will become the next popular sport in india.
 
Football is encouraged in eastern states a lot in India. Even in metropolitan cities football is very much encouraged. That encouragement should deepens towards village and town level players only then football can earn a respect like cricket.
 
@khushboo: I agree that football is encouraged in eastern states in india but apart from this there are many other games that should be encouraged as well. Football is a force to be reckoned with in the political arena. With the Palestinian national side recently playing their first ‘home’ game, I felt it was an apt time to examine how influential the beautiful game can be. I agree with the saying that football should be encouraged.
 
Yes, we can find many of youngsters crazy about football and love to play it instead of cricket which i think is over hyped game. Eastern states are completely involved in football whereas we can find this game played in other parts of India too. The only reason it is not getting attention of sports lovers is that we do not have our team qualified even once for FIFA.
 
football should definitely be encouraged as it is one of the most famous games that people play around the world. It is an international game and must be encouraged by the government of india apart from games such as Cricket which does not need any more encouragement. Cricket is indeed popular so extra effort and attention should be given to various other games such as football.
