There's a huge matchup in football this week for the IMOTGP blog. And no, it's not today's Europa League final between two-time defending champion Sevilla and Liverpool.
It's set for Thursday and pits my two countries in a match of two extraordinary footballing nations, That's right, the United States is playing India in a under-17 football match in Goa, India!
As you can imagine, this creates a dilemma for your humble blogger. Which jersey do I wear on matchday? Well the answer is simple, my friends. Although I truly cannot root for one team over the other I will wear the jersey of India because to wear the United States would be tacit support for this moron!
UPDATE: Former MLS head coach John Hackworth has praised the Indian team, saying "I’m a little surprised as to how well the Indian players play. They’re technical, strong in terms of their engine. It looks like they can run all day. They try to play good soccer. I watched a couple of the professional games and I was impressed."
So there you have it, IMOTGP football fans. Feel free to greet me Thursday with a friendly 'Namaste. Aap kaise hain?' as India and the United States do battle on the pitch!
