I have always loved soccer predictions and I found this really interesting main article.
The six-team competition, modelled around the effective IPL Twenty20 cricket tournament, was slated for any March 24 begin in the eastern Indian condition of West Bengal however the coordinators stated they couldn't secure the arenas possessed through the condition government.
"Discussion is up with the condition government but even when it's sorted by the finish of the week, we'd need time for you to prepare the fields," Dharamdutt Pandey, Boss from the event management company which created Please, stated on the phone.
Secretary of India Football Federation's West Bengal unit was in contact with the condition sports minister and also the problem could be resolved soon, Pandey stated.
"They are minor issues and Please is greatly on. We're now focusing on a mid-April start for that league.
"It might require a minumum of one month to upgrade the arenas for an worldwide standard. Therefore we are actually searching at mid-April," Pandey added.
Please may be the second such league which set to replicate IPL's success before teething problems brought to postponements.
Earlier this year, marketers of the IPL-style nine-team motor racing league deferred the 12-race competition to the coming year due to logistic issues.
Within an otherwise cricket-crazy India, football is popular in pockets but nowhere much more compared to West Bengal.
Nearly 120,000 fans gave a rousing reception to Oliver Kahn within the German goalkeeper's 2008 Bayern Munich swansong in Kolkata and Argentina great Diego Maradona almost introduced the town to some dead stop throughout his visit within the same year.
The The month of january 30 auction of Please gamers - mostly within the twilight of the careers - and coaches further whetted that appetite.
Franchises spent nearly $7 million within the auction where Argentine Hernan Crespo demonstrated the league's most popular property, fetching $840,000.
Italy's 2006 World Cup-winning captain Cannavaro ($830,000), Pires ($800,000), Nigerian Jay-Jay Okocha ($550,000) and Liverpool great Robbie Fowler ($530,000) were also sold as "icon' gamers among franchises located in different metropolitan areas in West Bengal.
One of the coaches, former Manchester City and Sunderland manager Peter Reid and Marco Etcheverry, perhaps the finest Bolivian player, went for $200,000 each.
I hope to be able to use this news in my weekend soccer predictions.
