What about us?

"We don't stand a chance. Thai players are too short and they can't shoot." The fact that his nation's footballers are all like Mickey Owen does little to cheer up Bangkok bank worker Samkan Chartprasert, who sums up the national sentiment after the Thai government launched a public appeal asking fans what they could do to ensure qualification for the 2010 World Cup. Should we, in India, be shameless enough, foolish enough and moronic enough to, even, ask the question? Or is it a dream we harbour only because a lot of people can make a lot of money trying to make the dream happen?
