After almost 3 years working in sports I have understood one thing much better now. "Sports is all about disappointments. You just get few highs along the way." - Roy Keane. Something happened yesterday and I was very emotional. I am still disappointed. But the grind dont stop.

First of all congratulations to @eastbengal_fc and @coachanthony_AA for bringing it home once again. Never in my dreams I thought of being the defending champions when I started covering womens football. Have been detached for a long time from all the updates and matches (1/n)
We did it and all credit goes to the players yet We always need to Appreciate the efforts of the Coaches and All the Supporting Stuff! @coachanthony_AA Thank you and the team for all the efforts!

But a part of my soul will always be vested in there. Still 2 points that I am gonna moan about - 1> Fan Engagement : I am disappointed. Very very disappointed on EB fans that they couldn't turn up for one match. Just the final match to celebrate with the team! (2/n)

Consecutive participation should be the first target. We can't be targeting now for a "Participation after 20yrs, Proud of You" - Post.
Replying to @ArkaTweets1
What is step 1? Well, that's to ensure that all 3 sides (U17, U20, Senior) return to these continental competitions. The assumption that we can just return to this stage without putting in the hard yards is fatal. Just look at the senior men for example.

If Sanju isn't dropped even after today. I will stop watching womens football.
Many questions from India's campaign. But most importantly, did the right 23 go?

Real supporters aren't surprised. Only migratory birds are. And people who are bashing them in comments...... well, get well soon. #IndianFootball #WAC2026 #WomensFootball
Defeat against Japan in our second game of #WAC2026. There will still be all to play for in the last group stage match against Chinese Taipei on Tuesday. #BlueTigresses #INDvJPN #AsiaDream

From houses at back of the ground to representing state. One of my cartel.

Slow washed up rejected "Football" players and a coach who coached mens almost his whole life. I mean how does he even know the player pool?? Scouting gone for a toss. Called it on Day 1.
Defeat against a higher-ranked side in the SAFF Women’s Futsal Championship 2026. The #FutsalTigresses will look to bounce back against Nepal on Saturday. #BANIND #FutsalSAFF2026

Oh I am sorry. They said 2015 borns can't play in a U15s Girls League. There are "RISKS" involved. And the "RISK" is getting bodied by age-fraud players.
Club Academy Scotland ran the largest bio-banding festival in youth football last month. Bio-banding sees late maturers play against younger players that are a closer physical match, while early maturing players are matched with older players. ➡️ scotfa.co/BioBanding

Real caretakers think alike.
Now that Messi’s gone, maybe time to focus on the really messy situation back at home?

Uncertainty, Frustration and Heartbreak are constants. But still I can sleep peacefully knowing there is no malpractice involved.
The path of honesty is a lonely, difficult but ultimately rewarding one. #YouthFootball #IndianFootball

#IndianFootball is a fucking joke. They won't let you play some talented underage in an age specific tournament because the organisers cares about physicality, safety and development of players. But they won't do a TW3 test to make sure the competition is actually fare.

Forget about TW3, sometimes human eyes can do some basic examination. But turning a total absolute blind eye towards this problem is so devious!! How many more!! How many more!!

A long time in preparation. A good day. 👍
And so our Annual Socio Day happened ! From exciting and gritty game displays by our U9s, U11s, U13s and U15s to pure euphoria with season awards - we celebrated Footy Femmes, our people and our supporters.
