I-league

A correction to an earlier post. I-league starts today October 1st, and not from the 3rd as I'd mentioned earlier. East Bengal's opening encounter is scheduled on the 3rd. Apologies. The first game scheduled for this afternoon is between two of the tournament favourites and in form teams, Mahindra United and Churchill Brothers. Here's to an entertaining season ahead.

Meanwhile East Bengal are likely to go into the tournament without any foreign players, after the sacking of all of the previous 4 due to their dismal performance in the Durand Cup. However, Baichung Bhutia officially signed for the club today and maybe he can turn the fortunes of the club that discovered him in its most troubled season in years.
