Nothing but football.

Anthony Pereira who acrimoniously parted ways with Mohun Bagan has joined Churchill Brothers if reports from Goa are anything to go by.
“He trained with us today and should be available for the next match (against Mumbai FC) on Saturday. He is a good addition to the team and will give us options in midfield,” said team boss Churchill Alemao to TOI.
It is understood that it will be a loan move.
We were at the Bengaluru Football stadium watching Bengaluru FC taking on Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan in their opening fixture of Airtel I-league. There was a good buzz about this match, fans turned up in good numbers and Bengaluru FC did not disappoint by putting a good performance. It was unlucky for them that the match ended up in a stalemate.
An average camera and my pathetic photography skills means the pictures aren’t that great. As the season progress, i should get better at clicking pictures. However this time around you will have to settle with this.
A personal experience of watching my first ever I-league match at a stadium + a match report will be up tomorrow. Till then enjoy the clicks.
Thanks to Vikram Venkateswaran and Kunal Mehta, I was offered a chance to appear on the 10th episode of Soccer Pill Google hangout on the opening day of I-league. I appeared on their great show and talked about Indian Football in general and the I-league season that just started off.
It was a great experience to be part of the show and voice my opinions on Indian football. Watch all other episodes of Soccer Pill hangout here. Watch the episode on Indian Football and let us know what you think of it.
