Kerala Blasters' wild opening ride
Three goals, fifty thousand roaring fans, a whole lot of love. Kerala Blasters could not have asked for a better opening night than the one they got against East Bengal. The two Ivans - Vukomanovic and Kalyuzhnyi - were the toasts of an entire state.
They then opened the second match against ATK Mohun Bagan with a verve and quality that (arguably) had never been seen before in the Kaloor stadium. The one-touch passing was rapid, the off-the-ball movement delicious and the goal Kalyuzhnyi scored was *chef's kiss*.
Then, suddenly, things went downhill. Over the next hour, Bagan ripped through the Blasters' backline with absurd ease as they scored five of the simplest-looking goals you'll ever see. Even as the Blasters created (and missed) chances at the other end, the absurd naivety of their defending was hard viewing for the capacity crowd. It was a sobering end to what had looked like a cracking ten-day long party and Vukomanovic will hope the wakeup call has come at the right time.

The log jam in Indian football could be headed for a resolution with the AIFF and FSDL agreeing to a "transparent tender" process for the selection of a commercial partner to conduct the Indian Super League in December in a proposal submitted to the Supreme Court here on Thursday. The AIFF and the FSDL agreed that the process will be concluded by October 15, 2025, thereby providing certainty to clubs, broadcasters, sponsors and other stakeholders. Subject to the consent of the AFC, the new league season can thereafter commence in December.
The agreement between the two parties came a couple of days after the world football governing body FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation threatened an international ban on India, issuing a stern ultimatum to the AIFF that it must adopt and ratify a new constitution by October 30 or risk suspension. A suspension would mean national teams and clubs getting barred from all international competitions.
