Soccer (more popularly known as Football in many regions) is a team sport that is popular in almost every country in the world. The huge fan following is perhaps due to the fact that at an amateur level, it requires very little equipment and effort to learn the basics. Thus, kids start playing soccer at an early age and go on to become ardent followers of the game. Soccer is also the highest paying team sport at professional level. The prize money for the winning team at the 2010 soccer world cup was US $30 million. The synonym of enthusiasm and zeal, soccer or soccer posses the number 1 ranking in the world's most popular sports.
The second most popular sport in the world is also a team sport. Cricket's number two spot in terms of number of fans is thanks largely due to its popularity in the Indian sub-continent. It is popular in Asia, Australia, England and few selected countries, but is slowly expanding its reach to other countries. Cricket is a rather interesting sport with many formats - from test matches which last for 5 days to the more recent 20-20 format which has duration of about 3 hours. The original format of the game (5 days) and the somewhat involved rules and skills required meant that Cricket was popular among a few selected countries to begin with. However, the introduction of the 20-20 format has resulted in many more countries participating in the sport at an international level.
Most of the countries are very familiar with football even in India also. All the population of countries which are excellent in football are not equal to population of India. But India don’t find good football team for even qualify in FIFA. Why this was happened and what was the reason behind it. At this situation every one brain works fine that was “Cricket” .Cricket dominates all the sports in India. Even though the national sport of India is itself dominated by cricket. For world cup of hockey also they are not much public to view the match, that was the situation in India.
After starting 20-20 world cup and Indian Premier League (IPL), cricket becomes not only a sport it turned into a Multi-Billion business. Initially the matches with 5 days are able to watch by Indian public than why they should miss a chance of watching complete match in 3 hours like 20-20. That’s the main reason that no other sport in India is not popularizing as much as cricket.

In these circumstances how any other sport like football can grow up? Everyone is looking to sponsor cricket only then how football people get support in money or in other things .That’s the main reason in India no other sports are well growing.
Sport like football requires extra attention that means they need to dedicate themselves to football only, so in that case they need to take care by All India Football Federation only. Without having much representation of football, how can they maintain them? So that’s why the Indian football federation not able find good team to play even having the 120crore population.
I think now you got idea why I kept Indians Vs football as a name of this post.
