I was thinking about this the other day. There's over 1b people there and lots looove football, why do we never see good Indian players? Is the infrastructure that bad?

it’s simply because the way the big 5 european countries and south america have their whole sports culture and institutions rooted in football, India has for cricket. The money poured in for cricket in India is otherworldly and that’s what all the kids grow up watching and playing on the streets. There are many amazing, premier league level youth talent in india but the lack of places to showcase and develop that talent is the reason.
