In India, we used to get the 3 european finals, and they usually involved an Italian team, sometimes both teams were italian. Also the complete coverage of the WCs, and most of the stars of WC1986 and WC1990 used to play in Italy.
In the late 90s, espn started showing all EPL games live, and the timing of these games really suits India, so now you will see EPL fans far outnumber any other league.
What is funny about India fans is that in the WC, most bengali end up supporting Italy (and maybe argentina) while almost all goans support Brazil and Portugal. Their style of football is similar, the bengali's are known for their pragmatic tactical approach, while the goans like to go for flair.Dark Savante wrote:Got an Indian mate in the uni who is from Bengal and I think this is his feeding and he is a Inter supporter some pattern emerging?
Why Indians that were capable of watching football in 90s follow Serie A was it shown there more?
