The 17th edition of the football world cup is going to start from 6 October and is going to be hosted in India for the first time.This blog is about this mega event and various possibilities and chances of teams especially Indian team.
There are 24 teams which are divided into four groups.The top two teams directly qualify for the round of 16 while the 4 of the best thirds will make it to the knockouts.Nigeria has won this competition 5 times and is the most successful team in this competition.The tournament is going to be played in six stadiums.Salt Lake stadium being the largest with the capacity of 66,600.
As far as India is concerned they are kept in pool A.The chances of qualification are quite challenging as they have two former champions in their group Brazil(1997,1999,2003) and Mexico(2005,2011).Other two teams like Germany and Mali have been performing quite well in this event.Mali was the runner up in the last edition of this tournament and Germany also has 3 medals to its name.Hence the path for India is not going to be easy.India is going to start its journey by playing against U.S.A in the first match on 6 October at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.India definitely has as advantage of uncertainity and ambiguity as it is participating in this tournament for the very first time.Also the culture and the standard of Indian football has changed a lot in last few years,thanks to ISL.
Finally I believe this tournament is a golden chance for India to make a break through to the world of football.But surely the young footballers need to pull out a magical performance to do so.I desperately want the young footballers to do well for the country.
