Way to go Bangalore Lions, good job. Beating Dynamos in their own ground with more than twenty five thousand people supporting them, after playing back-to-back matches for four days is a tremendous achievement…
Three cheers… Keep roaring…

that's a song...
Bleu, that’s a song sung by Harry Belafonte… just used the starting line for the title, thought it was apt.
Chet! 25000 people paid to watch the final at Chandigarh, I’m sure next year the numbers will only increase. The quality of play is really high class. Foreign players alongside top notch Indian players, professional approach to team management, good marketing and TV coverage… Why cannot this succeed?
PS: I desperately want it succeed & hope and pray that someone comes up with a similar approach to football in India too.
is jungle mightier
is jungle mightier than the lion?
