IgnisExcubitor 678 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Don't follow the main league. Never have. I follow the ISL, which Mel and AMG explained is like IPL, and being from Mumbai I support the Mumbai. Have even gone to the stadium in the last couple of seasons. We are doing good for a change this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Mumbai City FC vs. FC Goa is coming on in an hour, and is actually being shown on ESPN+, so I figured I'll watch it and see what's the ISL is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Oh my, it looks like there are less than 5k in the stadium....for some reason I would have assumed the place is packed with this being two of better teams in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Mumbai's defense is looking shaky and are picking up a few yellow cards early. Goa is getting a lot of good chances based only on Mumbai's mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Finally a goal in the game. Goa's pressure is too much and the ball rolls in to put them up 1-0 against Mumbai City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 That's a great entry pass to set up that goal. Nothing the keeper could have done there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Mumbai 0 - 1 Goa at Half-time. Goa should be up by 2 or 3. Mumbai look unable to get the ball forward and create chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 What an absolute awful attempt in the box leads to a PK for Goa which will surely end Mumbai's chances of getting points here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 And it's in! Goa is now up 2-0 and have surely won this game and will move up to 3rd place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted February 1, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hey sorry was watching the game wasn't on the forums. That's Goa for you they create so many chances but somehow we will never win this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Goa wins it 2-0. Mumbai were absolutely dreadful in all facets of the match. Supposedly they were without their lead striker, but still, that was embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted February 17, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted February 17, 2019 With Bangalore losing to Delhi today we have a chance to catch them and go top of the table on goal difference. I really hope we beat Kerala tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost gagged. One day, I'd love to hear your thoughts on why you think India hasn't done better with football. They seem ripe for it. https://khelnow.com/news/article/indian-football-2019-us-football-in-same-situation-reforms-i-league-isl-mls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted October 23, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 23, 2019 Goa FC start the season out well with a 3-0 thumping to Chennai. Bangalore drew with Northeast United. We just have to keep the momentum up and try to win the whole thing this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted October 30, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 30, 2019 A good read (and a related podcast) about the reform in the Indian football: https://www.theasiangame.net/light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-for-indian-football/ So finally a clearer hierarchy and a workable pyramid system with promotion/relegation in place from 2024/25. Hope it works out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works out for you. I just want Goa to lift an ISL trophy before they do the merger and cause more pandemonium and chaos with how its organized. I've never truly understood the direction of the ISL and how they went about structuring teams in it but if they have a plan to bring it all under one umbrella with a promotion system then I suppose its a start. Where we go from there and how good we get competitively across Asia is where I want to see all this get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
