It's a little difficult as S.Korea and Japan are in the nations your country competes with for qualification... I hope someday they'll come to WC... It would surely help get the game more popular to India... Who knows? maybe next WC's "Trinidad & Tobago" might be India ;) At least I enjoy when teams that have not much experience or come to wc for a first time like T&T on last WC, Senegal on WC2002 and Croatia on WC98... Maybe my nation would be one of them next WC and competes to it for a second time after 3 WCs(Greece)

I know it must be frustrating for your national team to be bad at a sport you really like, but I guess the situation is like that in India because there are other sports, such as cricket or hockey that are much more popular than football, so when people decide to play something they choose these games and leave only a few to football. And when less people come to football, the odds for real good players to appear are smaller.
