Just when I was convinced that the FA were the dumbest governing body in the world, the AIFF had to prove me wrong !


After Bobby Houghton, the greatest thing that could ever happen to Indian football, was sacked over stupid and baseless allegations of racism, striker Sunil Chhetri tweeted this.
"thinking and analysing everyt. that Bob has done for us,infact football in india, can't thank him enough!it ll be a shame if he has to leave"

"N even worse,we charge him for racism, havnt seen a gentleman like him,leave behind d world class coaching n vast knowledge...sorry bob!"

And guess what, the AIFF will now charge Chhetri for this!
Stand up for Bob!
Stand up for football in India! 

Share the article on facebook/twitter wherever you can and spread the problems which are stunting the growth of Indian football !

RULES
The Tournament is NOT direct knockout - It's a Dual Knockout i.e. 2 legged tie, which is a feature of Soccer World tournaments.

In 2 legged knockout matches, one team plays against the other team twice (like a home + away match).

This would give each team more opportunities to prove themselves rather than just getting knocked out by having a bad game or going out through penalties !

GOAL DIFFERENCE DOES MATTER!

In case if the goal difference is the same then penalties will decide the winner.

This 2 leg knockout format is valid throughout the tournament except the semis & the final.

Matches will be conducted by professional referees.



A team can register twice & can play the tournament unless both the team clash with each other.
Players can play for as many teams as he wants but when his team clashes each other, he has to decide & play for one team for the rest of the tournament.


Matches conducted on basket ball court so canvas shoes or sports shoes preferred studs not allowed. Bare feet at own risk.

Referee's decision will be final.
