[CE]Messi in India

Indian is hosting there first international match with Argentina. Messi, the arguably the best soccer or futbol player in the world was there. This may not sound very big, but i beg to differ.

Soccer is the most popular sport in the whole world, by a far margin. Every continent plays it. Okay, maybe except for Antarctica. Anyways, in Indian the number one sport is cricket. Having the "best" soccer player could make the sport of soccer, come back in play in Indian. Having soccer games in India with players like Messi because they will make a huge profit. The profit will give India more money to help the government and there people. If you think about it as just a soccer game, it doesn't mean much. But if you think about it as a way for India to make more money to help the people, that's a big deal.

The love affair between India and cricket is tight. Yet many people want soccer to come back as the main sport. There is know particular reason why people want soccer to come back as the sport of choice. India somewhat reminds me of America. We both have sports ahead of soccer. I believe that soccer could start getting more attention in America. More kids are starting to play at a younger level. There must be some reason to why soccer is so popular. I mean the whole world watches and plays it. I'm not exactly sure as to why i decided to write about this but as i was looking through the videos, this one stuck out to me. I don't exactly know why, but i think that it was very interesting to see India so excited to see such a big star, like Lionel Messi.
