The heartbreaking triumph of football in Syria is not solely measured by victories on the field, but by the unbreakable spirit of players and fans who persevere in the face of unimaginable challenges. Read ⬇️

If you’re interested in how Indonesia have scaled up, we had a piece on @analyticsfc.bsky.social recently all about it

Great piece man. Thanks for bringing out their story.
I'd also love if you could put in some statistics while describing how well they have been playing.

Inswingers, Screens & Coffee Machines: Inside The Minds of FC Midtjylland’s Set Piece Gurus — Football In Denmark Set pieces are a hot topic at the moment, with teams like Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen grabbing headlines with a new-found focus on making the most from dead ball situations. But over in Denmark one ...

In case you missed it this piece I did with FC Midtjylland’s set piece gurus may ignite your interest in watching their corner routines more closely this weekend!

Eagerly waiting!

Memes you think of when you can't figure out code and wanna watch football highlights instead.

Every team has a whipping boy, and a majority of times blame it's the defenders and GKs. It's very sad that people fail to realise systematic issues and there being literally no one to replace.

There have been many "you miss the sun when it starts to snow" moments when these players get axed.

Kenya produces the world's best runners — but their female athletes face a femicide crisis.

Since 2021, four elite women have been killed by their partners. Many others face violence.

Travelled to Iten — these athletes' stories deserve to be heard.

Currently posting my old articles on here. Will start making new content in late December. Have got a few Aussie mutuals here on Bsky, hope you'll enjoy this and also point out any inadvertent errors.

The Socceroos' success in producing talents worthy of higher European Leagues and managing to qualify for the World Cup 6 times is an interesting case study for countries like India where football is not the most popular sport.

Yes, new followers had peaked on twitter for me, maybe that's how big Indian Football twitter is, but I'm trying to build more international connections here and getting 50 organic followers accross the world in 3-4 days is quite promising in a platform of just 18 million.

I'd prefer not to close Twitter due to selfish reasons as most of my traction is there for me articles and some old mutuals but I've stopped scrolling it altogether due to vile content. It's safer to scroll here and make new friends.

Heartbreaking stuff. Kudos for brining out the story.

There are many folks who think the popularity of Football is second to Cricket in India.

In reality, it's third. In a report on Indian Sports made by a Google-Delloite collab, out of the 655M demographic of Indian sports, Cricket leads with 492M fans, followed by Kabaddi (120M) and Football (85M).

I hope you have seen this post. Very refreshing some people are actively trying to repair and revitalise these grand monuments instead of bringing them down and installing glass shards or concrete blobs in its place. Hopefully we can sustain what makes this beautiful city unique.

Thank you very much. There are many such articles written this and last year. Will post eventually. ❤️

This post appears just after I follow him lol. Blue sky algo is onto something.

On to new lows!

Today marks one year since the last victory of the Indian Men's National Team.

Yet we keep on painting the rotten leaves and fruits while starving the roots of the tree.

It's sad how even big names like Wenger are completely ignorant of the non-existent grassroots and make delusional statements.

The legend is here 🔥

Thanks a lot for the shout good sir. Much appreciated. 🤝

Starter packs help you to mass follow a bunch of accounts related to a thing. Great feature, thanks for including me here.

Hope a respectable and non-abusive Indian football community can be built here.

It’s funny seeing people on Twitter be like “Lol Bluesky people will be back in a few days”

I think it’s safe to say many won’t fully abandon Twitter, but it’s nice to log onto an app and not worry about seeing blatant racism with 50k likes

Best of luck. 🤝

This place really feels like the close knit-ish place with real interactions the way it was when I first opened a twitter account back in 2014. Hope it stays this way.

Will soon post my best articles here. It's on Mohun Bagan and Asian Football with particular focus on India.

Let's see how this works. I'd prefer to keep this place as a saner twitter with real respectful interactions.

I'm here good sir :)
