World Cup Soccer and India

Do you know the population of Togo? Its about the same as Andheri, a suburb of Mumbai where we used to stay. They are also a poor country, not having the natural resources that Nigeria or South Africa have. They have, however, qualified for the world cup. Should'nt we be ashamed of ourselves?

But wait...did you know who has supplied the balls for this year's world cup. Its a bloke from Jallandhar, Punjab. He had landed the 5 million dollar deal, and these are the first stitchless balls in the world. There also has been a lot of praise for the balls in terms of the movement and balance.

Good for you man! At least we are somewhere on the soccer map!
