India might not be participating in the FIFA World Cup, but it is no exception when it comes to the football fever. Many Indian football fans have been travelling to Qatar to witness their favourite matches. Even the fans back home are passionately tracking each and every match and supporting their favourite teams.
Kerala, which has the most craze for the sport, watches football even more than cricket. Football fans in Kerala have been going all the way out to support their favourite teams ever since the World Cup started.
Sharing one such glimpse of the craze on Twitter, business tycoon Anand Mahindrs wrote, ''Fans of Argentina are celebrating. (Brazilian fans in the crowd too, but obviously they're not too happy) The interesting thing is that these fans are in India. We may not have shown our merit in Football yet, but if there was a World Cup for 'Fanball' we would be in the running...'
