There might be a lot of debate about this, even us, in-house were torn between Atletico de Kolkata and Kerala Blasters. But, ISL 3 has put those notions to bed, and considerably so.

Whichever team you support, whichever state in India you are from, you’re not a football fan if you don’t want to be in that Stadium. When Michael Chopra scored his goal, the stadium was literally shaking, even the cameraman was dancing.

A football-crazy state, parched by the lack of football, they just needed a team to support. ISL gave them that, and they have embraced it with all their heart. The way the fans jumped and celebrated at the final whistle you couldn’t help but draw comparisons to the famous yellow wall of Dortmund.
