“Why hasn’t India shown any merit in football? Because we don’t promote the sport as much as cricket…We have the potential and the merit,” another tweet read.
One Twitter user wrote, “I saw the great fanbase of football in Kerala. On the way to Kochi-Trivandrum there were at least 6-7 coffee shops where Messi’s hoarding was placed. India would certainly win the fanbase World Cup!”

This is also the sixth time the team has advanced to the final, and their first since 2014 when they lost to Germany by 1-0 in extra time.
