He continues: “I think it’s time all of our countrymen who take pride in calling themselves Indians come together as one unit and support our boys who represent us in the sport we all love. This is one of the purest forms of Nationalism.”<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not Waseem alone. The West Block Blues represent people from all sections and age groups. \u201cIt is the platform for people who love Indian Football.\u201d<\/p>\n
