To grow football, play more football
It's been an eventful week since the completion of the U-17 World Cup, the first FIFA event hosted by the Indian subcontinent. While the headlines since then have been dominated by the court ruling that removed All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Praful Patel from his post, there's a need to look beyond the immediate and see what the World Cup did for India and where Indian football can go from here.
So can the World Cup make a difference?
'The passion (for football) is growing; the access to the sport on TV is growing.'

When Manchester United's Eric Cantona attacked a fan in 1995
Marseille players were involved in ugly scenes with fans ahead of their Europa League match with Vitoria Guimaraes in Portugal. On Jan. 25, 1995, with one ugly kick off the field, Eric Cantona managed to overshadow any of his most beautiful kicks on it. During a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace, the Manchester United forward had lost control, crossing the line in every sense: he threw himself, feet first, at Palace supporter Matthew Simmons.
Even before that night, Cantona had been labelled Le Brat by the French press. After a series of incidents in his homeland, he had announced his retirement from the game in 1991 when, while...

Conte's Chelsea tenure starting to mirror that of rival Jose Mourinho
Antonio Conte has insisted that his relationship with Jose Mourinho is not important and that his side must focus on beating Manchester United.
Man United took the lead early courtesy of a Marcus Rashford goal as they defeated Chelsea 2-0 last April.
As Chelsea's tumultuous run continues, Gab Marcotti weighs in on if Antonio Conte will make it to the end of the season.
It is no secret that Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho do not care for each other
"I have respect for his job, he must have respect for mine," Chelsea's manager said on Friday, doing his best to straight-bat a series of questions about his Manchester United counterpart while not exactly offering an olive branch to his predecessor.
Sunday at Stamford Bridge will see if such respect is returned by Mourinho, who has fired repeated barbs at Chelsea since his departure, and even made sly...

Luke Wilkshire 'still got it' as new star of Sydney FC - Graham Arnold
PJ Roberts assesses what type of impact Mile Jedinak will have for Australia ahead of their playoff with Honduras.
With Australia's World Cup hopes hanging in the balance, their captain Tim Cahill could be out after he limped off during Sydney's 1-0 win with a suspected ankle injury.
Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold hailed the impact that Luke Wilkshire has made on the defending A-League champions after the former Socceroo scored the goal to hand Melbourne City their first defeat of the season.
The Sky Blues' 1-0 win over the league leaders at AAMI Park on Friday night was more proof -- if it were needed -- that the A-League powerhouses are in command of the competition.
