Sporting Club — the team to beat

By Avinash Nair

BANGALORE, DEC. 2. Sporting Club de Goa looks to be the team to beat going into the home stretch of the 26th Federation Cup football tournament. Having accounted for Mohammedan Sporting, last edition's runner-up and then the fancied East Bengal, the Goan side will play yet another Kolkata outfit— Mohun Bagan — in the penultimate round of the tournament on the morrow.

And the winner of this match could well go on to win the title.

Unheralded Tollygunge Agragami will take on Goa's Dempo in the other semifinals.

The draw itself seems to have been conjured to have a Goa-Kolkata final what with five Goa teams figuring in the top half and three from Kolkata — Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and Mohammedan Sporting — pitched together to fight for the final berth from the lower half. That Sporting Club de Goa changed the script, should in itself boost the team to go the full distance.
