Kerala Blasters had a horrible season last year. They finished at the 9th place (just above the bottom ranked Chennaiyin). I read reports about their fans taking out boycott campaigns. And what was most ironic about their performance was the fact that they lost many matches after leading in the first half. Hopefully this season they will be able to perform better under the new coach (Eelco Schattorie).

Last time, it was Sunil Chettri's Bangalore FC which won the tournament and this time also they have the maximum chances. BFC looks like the most balanced team, with players such as Erik Paartalu, Rahul Bheke, Udanta Singh and Thongkhosiem Haokip. Their goalkeeper is also very good (Gurpreet Singh Sandhu). ATK also have their chances, as they have some good players like Pronay Halder and Anas Edathodika.

Out of the 29  states in India, people in Kerala, Goa, West bengal and the north east are crazy about Football. This league has surely generated a lot of fans and has also give opportunity to budding football player. But, it is a long way to go. This season my favourite team is again Banglore. I hope they win this time.

You are right, we need everything you expect here.
Because this is a local Indian competition, not everyone knows about it. Unless people are from India itself, I myself do not know the team that participated in this competition. and when it will begin.

If its an purely an Indian tournament with no international teams and players, then it will be better to move this thread in the local Indian community.
Local thread will be a better place to gain more interest in it.

You are right there. In India, there are four regions which are known as the powerhouses of football. They are West Bengal, Goa, Kerala and the North-east India. More than 90% of the football players who have represented India have come from these regions. Earlier, West Bengal used to dominate, but now the popularity of cricket has overtaken that of football in that state. The same can be said about Kerala and Goa as well. There is still a lot of fan following for football and tens of thousands attend local games. But in most cases, the attendance is made up of the middle-aged individuals, as the youth have shifted to cricket. Northeast India is the only region where football remains as the most popular sport.

I think if Pakistan had a good Football team, then things would have been quite different for football in India. For example, you will still watch India vs Pakistan Hockey match, if you do not have an interest in Hockey

I don't know. In football, clubs are more important than the international sides. International matches happen only once in a while, and only a few tournaments such as the World Cup and the Asian cup are important. On the other hand, each of the clubs play 50+ matches in a given year and their fan following is huge. Clubs such as Manchester United and Real Madrid have hundreds of millions of fans all over the globe. And this is also one of the reasons why football is not very big in India. Most of the Indians are interested in international matches, and such matches are rare with football.

India has some of the oldest football clubs in the wold. Clubs such as Mohun Bagan A.C. and Churchill Brothers S.C. boast  of millions of fans. But somehow they have failed to catch the attention of the mainstream Indian. However the ISL is changing this situation. With the involvement of famous foreign players, corporate giants and sports broadcasters, ISL has managed to become mainstream in India. And hopefully, with that we'll be witnessing a rise in popularity for football in India.

Anyone watched today's match between FC Goa vs Chennaiyin FC? It turned out to be a very one sided match, with FCG winning 3-0. Chennaiyin finished at the rock bottom last year. And this year also, the prospects for them looks dull. They don't have any superstars such as Sunil Chhetri (of BFC) or Seiminlen Doungel (of FCG). For sure Thoi Singh and Jerry Lalrinzuala are good players, but they are unable to single-handedly lead their team to a win.

Today the match was completely on the side of Bengaluru FC. Finally by the extra time Goa made a goal and equalled. Goa got opportunity more than Bengaluru FC, but by the 62nd minute the goal made by Udanta Singh increased the pressure upon Goa. The goal of the final minutes have kept Goa on the top of the points table. Tomorrow it is Jamshedpur vs Hyderabad. Already Jamshedpur has made a win while Hyderabad hasn't started its winning.

BFC should have won this game, but they conceded a goal just a few seconds before the close of play. Ferrán Corominas scored from a penalty, and neutralized Udanta's strike in the 62nd match. Had they been a bit more careful, then BFC should have got 3 points instead of 1. Now FCG is at the top of the table with 4 points, and BFC is trailing them with just 2. BTW, the team selection was baffling from FCG. They had dropped Jackichand Singh for the match (although he was brought in as a substitute in the second half).

Today it was a big winning match for Odisha. From the beginning Odisha dominated the game making 4 goals. Each and every goal is well placed and the players assisted it perfect to the goal. Somehow with the penalty and the final minute goal Mumbai City managed to make 2 goals.

Yesterday's match was very surprising and very interesting too.
Mumbai City vs Odisha FC
Odisha was surprisingly able to win the match. Though they had not won any two matches before, and Odisha could win for the first time and the victory they got at Mumbai City home.

Today we have the match between Hyderabad FC and Kerala Blasters FC. These two teams are lying at the bottom half of the points table, with Kerala Blasters having 3 points form 2 games and Hyderabad yet to open their score after the same number of matches. Hyderabad went down by a heavy margin in their first match this season (5-0 against Atlético de Kolkata).

How is football in India? It is nice to hear about India is having a league for football.

I know India have die hard fans for cricket and hokey and for some other sport like kabadi but for football and basketball you may not find big fan-base hence viewership for such game is not profitable for board/stadium/broadcasting which again leads to less sponsors for such games. After IPL, India is trying to promote football, tennis but not sure about final results in terms of reaching people and making them interested.

If you study, all the countries who are adopting cricket may not shine in other sport. Cricket is a kind of most attractive sport which makes people to follow it by forgetting other sport but unfortunately only 11 players may represent a country and others left with their dreams unfilled. I mean tennis or most other athletic games are having chances to represent your country in any number of players at a time.

I never thought that there are Football Leagues now on India and after taking research and see that they really have and are founded on October 21, 2013, and in partnership IMG, Reliance Industries, and Star Sports, and well I am pretty amazed though and considering if there are bets I think there is,

And right now Hyderabad VS Kerala Blasters are on a match right now and conceding eight goals in two games Hyderabad have an awful start and Kerala in the meantime had a disappointing home loss against Mumbai City FC last time, but they come into this game with more than a weeks rest so they should have an advantage over Hyderabad in my opinion, so I think the game will end with Kerala Blasters wining this and with the last score on 1-3.

In general, India is a cricket crazy nation. Most of the populous states have cricket as the no.1 sport. But at the same time, there are traditional football strongholds such as Kerala, Goa, Northeast India and Bengal. I am originally from northeast India and here football is much more popular when compared to cricket. However, the BCCI is a very cash-rich organization and they are trying to spread cricket here as well.
