Dubbed as the sleeping giants of world football, India stand on the cusp of history as the hosts are set to make their debut in a FIFA event against a strong USA side in a Group A match of the FIFA U-17 World Cup at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi on Friday. India automatically qualified for the event being as the host nation. The Indian colts are prepared well with All India Football Federation (AIFF) sending the players for training in Europe and a tournament in Mexico but the home side are clear underdogs in the match against USA. On paper, USA are clearly the favourites in the match as most of the American players play in Major League Soccer youth teams and a couple of them are set to play in top European clubs as well. India would enjoy the home advantage and captain Amarjit Singh and his team-mates have promised to be competitive at the showpiece event. The feat of playing in Indias first-ever FIFA tournament should spur them to bring out their best and deliver something worthy of a host country. They will also be the first Indian players to feature in any World Cup.
