If I was him I'd leave leeds right now, Bowyer and Woodgate could strike at any time. ;) :D

An Indian at Leeds is almost like a Jew or Black playing for Lazio, some fans may get on his back.

When I was in India last year during World Cup Qualifying, there was a rumor going around that Bhatia was looking at an offer from MLS. Make of that what you will.

I attended India's 1-0 victory over the UAE during qualifying. It was India's biggest soccer victory in many years but was greeted with the collective yawn that greets the MLS Cup final.

After all, India had just finished beating Australia during the Aussie tour. Hell, that event made SportsCenter stateside.

Yeah, there is definately soccer in India. I was slated to go to New Delhi a few years back and the trip fell through. I specifically remember finding the Delhi soccer stadium on a map and making plans to go see it and any matches that might be taking place.

India has their eyes on making the 2010 world cup. It seems a tad ambitious, but it is good to see non-typical soccer nations putting forth effort...check it out:

Soccer is probably ahead of field hockey in terms of the No. 2 spot after cricket. However, cricket is so huge there that it soaks up nearly all the athletic talent pool that there is.

Hope India soccer emerges.
