why india ranks low in the football list.

We are at least ten years away from such a situation. Unless our football matches up to the standards of the rest of Asia, we cannot attract star players. Look at China. They are able to get a player like Carsten Jancker (who has signed up to play for Shanghai Shenhua). To see someone like him play… he is going to be a big draw! But big-name players are not just about getting more people to watch the games. A whole team can learn from the experiences of such a player. It is almost like having another coach. And that is going to spur an entire bunch of youngsters to aim higher.
