Missing the Spot
179th in the world. A national team comprised of forgotten individuals. No grounds or youth structure to speak of and one woeful showing after another. Football in Bangladesh is at an all time low. Sinking into the quicksand even as we read this, can the 'beautiful game' be salvaged in this country full of football loving fans who have had nothing to smile about for years? Can it grow to be as big as cricket is now? These are questions that remain unanswered as new BFF President Kazi Salahuddin, a legendary player in his own right, attempts a rescue act to save football from extinction during these dark days. Will he be successful? Only time can tell.
