I think you right about building a stronger football team takes time to build a strong football team effort and investment, pulse a good football background, which include infrastructure, coaching and support, can help nurture talented players and improve the sports over all standards. And aslo India football team face challenges in terms of ranking and development, which it making it looks harder for the young player's to see a future in football and in sports in total.

From what I can see, in India sports is not valued a lot. Youngsters are forced to spend 12-14 hours a day on studies, and sports is not regarded as a career option. Even in rare cases where it is regarded as a career option, that is applicable only for cricket and not for the other sports.

This is completely false, sports is part of academics such as schools and colleges and even we have dedicated quota for sports for college and even for government jobs that encourages the youngsters to play but what we lack is the infrastructure to take this to the next level. As of now their goal is to get a government job like in railways by playing sports that is why the best players are sitting at clerical jobs. Cheesy

In India the business for football is no where compared to cricket and the same goes for every sports in India and cricket is kind of curse in that way that just dragged every kids to fantasize about becoming a cricketer because they can get rich and million dollar ad sponsors and many more while other successful athletes may not even make any money even if they achieve the greatest height they can go.
