A bunch of folks from the non-footballing part of the world who love the beautiful game, but are relegated to watching it from the stands.
Who Are We
Founding Team
NEHAL | Midfield general with an eye to scout a scoreline and establish contact from the remotest of leagues in the subcontinent. Balances his life as a part-time chef, co-parent of multiple cats and watching grainy match streams.
AMRIT | Attacker and the chief stats man who put his engineering degree to use by reinventing the xG for Indian football. Up for a debate to consider a shanked cross as a shot on goal. Maintains his silence on certain football teams owing to non-disclosure agreements.
NEVIN | Defender of Kerala football and a fabled storyteller. Potentially, the David Attenborough of Indian football should he drop his penchant to do away with subtitles leaving us lost in translation. For example, Kal = Foot. Panthu = Ball. Who knew?
YUVRAJ | Custodian of lower leagues across the country. Old enough to have played the game when the back-pass rule was a legal move and takes heart that he is taller than Sunil Chhetri by a few millimetres.
Mainly centered around football in India – from the Kolkata Derby to a local tournament in some corner of Meghalaya where the winning team is awarded a prize pig.
Report
Currently, we cover 50 State & City leagues (and counting) and report on various tournaments around the country – from the ISL, I-League, Indian Women’s League to the Santosh Trophy, Durand Cup, 2nd Division League, NECS Cup and more.
We also run Indian Football Minnows – an initiative to promote lesser heard footballing stories in India.
Analyse
While one half of our first team throw stats to sound legit, the other half take themselves and tactics/analysis very seriously!
