@@himiko6795 what about hockey then we were a top team in the 80,s then it went down, took 30 years for it to come back, also why football world cup is a huge hit in India, it has never lost it's charm, the problem is that after the fluke 83 cricket world cup win an average Indian expects that to happen in all sports, and so they focused on cricket the sad part is cricket administrators, politicians and 83 squad players exploited this situation to the max and made tons of money, for example check NDTV website it had a whole section to advertise cricket and they have been doing this for ages, imagine the money spent by bcci to do this. Football has made a comeback because the grip of test match has been broken thanks to IPL, people have got used to getting their results in 4 hours besides IPL is boring because cricket is fun only when the bowlers dominate not the batters, if you have 2000 sixes scored in a tournament it's boring and no sense in shot making , no style just hit the ball like a dhobi washing clothes. Having said that you are also right the European footballers have influenced the younger generation and if our boys start playing well then there is already a huge support base ready for the Indian footballers, we must make sure we stay united and do everything to keep this flame alive.

Those were different times. Calcutta was still the largest city in India, football was still played in Eden gardens, and India was still among the big teams of Asia. Nowadays we have to be happy with a win over some random small Arab country. The lights have truly gone out.
When this match was played, India was definitely not among the big teams in Asia. That was during the 50s and early 60s, when we won Asian Games and had good performances in the Olympics. Also, in 1984, we were knocked out of Asian Cup in Group Stage itself.

Except for Maradona and a couple of other players who did not come for this tournament. Parminder Singh used to play for JCT Phagwara.

Very interesting, honestly! I thought, India never played the Worl Cup qualifiers in 82 and 86, but when I had a closer look, they indeed played (at least) the 86-qualifiers and failed relatively narrowly at Indonesia, who in turn reached the semi-finals against South Korea. Maybe this time it will be better. Afghanistan will definitely be defeated twice and then the final against Kuwait will take place - and India alreayd won in Kuwait. We`ll see!
This Indian team was much more stronger than any other team of India,especially the current generation team.Indians must reinforce belief that they can match any team of the world then only they may reach the next level. Look at the speed of Indian wingers , they were simply mesmerising . Indians must watch full match to understand that to what extent they have deteriorated in the last four decades. This indian team could have become Asian Champions for sure. I think this was the last Golden generation of footballers in india and from here onwards india slumped
Then u haven't seen the golden era of 1950s to 1964. These old age players r last competitive era till 80s. After that Indian football full nose dived. 🤷♂️😑

Man look at 5:25 , we literally drew against South Korea and lost only 1-0 to Italy and 3-1 to Uruguay. We were literally elites of the football if not in the top 20-25.

@@vishvajeetrao7876 bro impossible now there is no football infrastructure in India due to various politics. If our team was good like even Qatar team our whole country would have been behind them. Nowadays good footballers are also going to cricket due to financial gains even ABD Villers was some hockey player or something he turned to cricket due to money problems.
All the players who are alive today must be very proud. And we are too proud of this great Indian team, i mean, it's unbelievable to see the scores. What a wonderful play be these brave and solid Indian team. Both the teams played beautifully. Salute you all players.
What a match. I am spellbound to see Indian football at such a level and skills.I must salute the Indian football team from my heart and if the govt and corporates supported our football legacy then by that time India should have played football world cup.
The indian team of 1984 was physically the equal of Argentina and Germany and poland. Now, they have short players who get pushed off the ball as if they were children.
Argentina maim squad was extremely weak.. And this was an even weaker side...they evem struggled to qualify for wc 86 and after this match the Argentinan press had said there is no. Hope for the Argentinan side.... But fortunately maradona single handedly dragged that team and made that team better and won the wc
@@juanjatt Still its huge compared to what we r doing now. Till 80s Indian football was competitive even if its not like the golden period of 1950s to 1964. These above 30 aged players r last competitive era of Indian football. After that Indian football nose dived.
@@theslash9210 yeah that might be a fact but they did win the World Cup 6 years prior to this tournament but i dont think i can say much about this team as they even lost to China in the same tournament ( im not saying this sarcastically).
Yes, because most Indians are victim of popular perception of current events, history has a functional utility for nations, Indians must watch this match to realise that they could have gone to another level by now had they capitalise upon this scintillating performance.This was probably the best Indian Squad of India in the last four decades, look at speed of both defenders and wingers , they matched world champion Argentina inch by inch. Salute to this great Asian Giant
India played fantastic against Argentina. Maximum Bengali players was in this team. Particularly Manoranjan bhattacharya in defence and prasanta banarjee in mid field was outstanding. India can win. If Narider thapa not missed from handshaking distance. He beloond the ball over the barpost.
I can still remember those golden days of India football, where great teams like Argentina also stoped by Indian team. Indian football team must be sponsored sufficiently to get into foreign tour, training and exposer to the world level. Football is still the greatest game ever. Believe India can do better to get into the World Cup tour ament in near future. Thanks for the vedio.❤
This was in 1984. India fought gallantly, but failed to capitalize. Lost by a solitary goal by Ricardo Gareka. Even Carlos Bilardo appreciated the Indian team for their brilliant fight.
Así es estimado,este partido fue uno de los partidos que forjó al equipo que luego se consagraria en México 86 ,gracias por tener ese equipo luchador , siéntete orgulloso amigo
Those days the ball was as heavy as rock, India seemed better then today's players and perhaps some countries might have feared india. Need to revive football , cricket is just a game of about 10 countries.
I was 2 when I watched this from the gallery. That cross bar shot was heartbreaking then and now. Memories keep flooding back even after all these years.
Those were the times when football was for west Bengal, cricket for Maharashtra, hockey for Punjab. It was some kind regional bias. Now we have a proper representation of the entire nation in all these sports and the results are for everyone to see.
@@amarsagoo83892 asian games gold medal 😊😊😊 and even played 4 summer Olympics and best paly is semifinal. we used to be a good team at that time with very low money we had .
My dad tells me that In 1954 to 1962 india was invincible in asia. They defeated Iran, Japan, korea, UAE and every kid in india used to play football then like cricket of today. And then India won 1983 cricket world cup by fluke and rest is history . We took up a game that no nation was interested in and became a champ in that.
It’s really a shame that a Great country like ours picked cricket and dominates it when no one else even takes it seriously, and left a world sport like football in the dust. Just shows our mindset as a country really, just weak.
@@Ken_from_Mumbai Are you stupid man if newzealand south africa australia england with small population can win world cup in rugby cricket hockey and also qualified for football world cup Then how you can say that India can not play different sports simultaneously If you are poor at one sports then don't blame at other sports Because a country can be good at more than one sports
same for Bangladesh , Once bangladesh played football better than India, now cricket destroyed every game though football is still more popular than cricket here
i would still say this Indian team was physically superior compared to what we have today. I mean look at them. I can easily see players well over 6 feet, taking nothing away from current squad but we need physicality and stamina. you cant compete with current teams with just skill, you will have to match physically and stamina wise. There was this same rhetoric when we last played AFC cup in 2015 and people saw the difference. Cant imagine our team going head on with current argentines, germans or french. We would have a few broken ribs , bodies flying a few feet in the air. I love my India football team but i can see the difference clearly . All in all what an Indian team this was. Just mesmerizing with their speed, quality of passes and i am sure none of the team members would have gone to public and said please come and watch our match coz people believed in this team . Cricket ne bhi bura haal karke rakha hai...wo bhi ek fact hai.
One observation that time lots of bengali were inside football team.. nowadays less and can see most the good footballer from north east side .. India football rising again.. that time also saw India team was not bad but India team’s golden time was 1950 to 54 where the team was really strong.. main issue was the sponsorship infrastructure and more participation and lack of international match for that India did not do well on this wonderful game.. let’s see India will rise again hopefully in football as now we got money infrastructure and getting more professional approach .. hopefully will do better to qualify World Cup..
Best players should play irrespective of their region. I’m a Punjabi, but always had lots of respect for bengalis for their love for football, classical music and sensible movies.
It’s high time for Nehru Cup to be revived again in the interest of the development of Football in India. Frequent exposure with foreign teams certainly add strength to overall development of Football in India. Good luck India. 👍👍👍
I was very passionated about football that time..in 1985 nehtu cup was Heald in Kerala I was there the match against the the great germeny where we lost 5 ..0..
These maximum are all 35 +, India didn't even had national league back then. Physicality height is not a big deal, power & speed with skills is the key factors in football. Look at Japan top team of Asia only with speed & skills, west Asian teams with size & height is no where close to Japan. 🤷♂️
Nope, technical abilities, usage of space, patience everything were lacking. India just knew how to push the ball forward....that's not football. We weren't good even then.
So nostalgic😊we were in Std VIII,went bonkers watching our dear team play.This was the start of a fantastic journey with Ciric Milovan joining as head coach.
The best performance by an Indian team in the history of our football! One could never imagine playing against Argentina and conceding just 1 goal. We just lacked a good striker, if we had one history would have a different story to tell!❤️
I wonder what happened to the Indian Football after this glorious period. It's a shame for the Govts who ruled India during these period such a good footballers and fans for Team India happy to se them playing ⚽️😃😍🥰❤️👌
1974 Pele and his club Costmos played against Mohunbagan club and drew the match as 1-1.. that time Indian football was not bad but unfortunately it was not professionalized and for that reason india started lagging with rest of the world…
New York Cosmos visited Kolkata during October 1977, to play against Mohun Bagan. I can well remember as I listened to Akashbani commentary on that special afternoon, from Dhaka.
@@szarefeen9744 Yes.. scoreline was 2-2.. that time I yet to born😊.. but unfortunately no good footage available publicly for that match .. love to see that…
@@sandy12353 You may get surprised to know that Doordarshan Calcutta (Calcutta TV station) was on air from 1975. So, live telecasting of Calcutta games could be possible from that period only.
It's not a bad performance by the Indian team against future World Cup winners. This Indian team was indeed better than the current Indian team. Out of the Argentinian players who are playing this game, these players played the 1986 World Cup and won; Goalkeeper - Nery Pumpido Defender - Oscar Garré Midfielder - Ricardo Giusti Midfielder - Jorge Burruchaga Defender - Néstor Clausen and Argentina's manager in this match, Carlos Bilardo, is the same for Argentina's 1986 World Cup winning squad and 1990 World Cup squad.
Great to see our historic player the legends. So amazing to watch this game. The atmosphere the game play the fitness the confidence the football was so much interesting.
Pure football game no any kind of tricks from any players . What a fabulous play by team. India ❤ Your channel got one more subscriber . Continue post such old archive videos .
While analyzing the current team with 80s, we have to consider the following. Back pass to goal keeper was allowed, which helped weaker teams considerably. Even though many top players were part of Argentina team, it was not a full team, and going by the play, it was clear that they were not trying their best seems happy with just defeating us. Football has become much more tactical and fitness level has increased. We were not able to catch up with the rest and got left out. A major factor was the infrastructure as it's didn't improve much in the past decades.
My late father used to tell me about these game and how chrrished it watching it live on TV. Just thrilled to see how magnicifent thr players were composure energy reading the game everytbing eas way ahead than what it is today really 😢
Many many thanks for uploading one of those rare eternal classics of Indian football. 🙏🙏 I know this is not the place, but this ruling party in WB today systematically destroyed the sports culture of the state. Any level of sports in the state today, is taken as a propaganda activity for their political needs. If any club requires funds and approaches the govt for it, there's a natural expectation for the govt and the party for political affiliation. There's no love for sports or encouragement of any sorts, from the govt of WB. When football became recognised as a national level sport in this country, it was only the players of this state who represented the national and international arena. Today, sadly, you'll hardly find anybody from this state in football. Systematically TMC and the WB government destroyed its rich sports legacy of the state. Many thanks for this video 🙏🙏

I know a footballer of Siliguri who played Santosh Trophy for WestBengal..Not to mention his name, today he cleans the drains and sweeps the streets under Siliguri municipal corporation. Very heart rending !!!! SHAME on the part of the State and Central government. A state level footballer in such a precarious condition.

Yessir
It's indian no one different

Today manipur rule india
That's the reason, Indian go continue downgrade in sports. Not Indian but separate state
All the players who are alive today must be very proud. And we are too proud of this great Indian team, i mean, it's unbelievable to see the scores. What a wonderful play be these brave and solid Indian team. Both the teams played beautifully. Salute you all players.
just a guess but i think they must be disappointed ,disgusted and saddened by the current state of affairs in Indian football.
Bengalis used to play football, punjabis used to play hockey mumbai Delhiites used to play cricket back in the day. Here's a Chatterjee
You forgot to mention keralites played football too
No brother Bengali loves cricket
What a match. I am spellbound to see Indian football at such a level and skills.I must salute the Indian football team from my heart and if the govt and corporates supported our football legacy then by that time India should have played football world cup.
Computer,Internet,Smartphone,Facebook,TH-cam,Instagram ,Whatsapp......the destroyers of those golden days!
So true, we need to concentrate on football and other sports
Absolutely CORRECT.
Men are becoming weak nowadays thanks to toxic feminism and social media
Nostalgia. Kindly post more old match videos like this
The indian team of 1984 was physically the equal of Argentina and Germany and poland. Now, they have short players who get pushed off the ball as if they were children.
the fact that we created many chances against a world cup winning team like Argentina is mesmorising (i know that Maradona didnt play that cup)
yes only 4 players from this team ..went on to win the 1986 world cup in mexico !
@@juanjattstill it’s huge
Argentina maim squad was extremely weak.. And this was an even weaker side...they evem struggled to qualify for wc 86 and after this match the Argentinan press had said there is no. Hope for the Argentinan side.... But fortunately maradona single handedly dragged that team and made that team better and won the wc
@@juanjatt Still its huge compared to what we r doing now. Till 80s Indian football was competitive even if its not like the golden period of 1950s to 1964. These above 30 aged players r last competitive era of Indian football. After that Indian football nose dived.
@@theslash9210 yeah that might be a fact but they did win the World Cup 6 years prior to this tournament but i dont think i can say much about this team as they even lost to China in the same tournament ( im not saying this sarcastically).

This Indian team is looking more strong and muscular then now.
yes Kolkata football players
@@peepeechowmein-vh5uythere were 4 keralites. Do you know most of Kerala players were playing for Kolkata and mohan Bagan at that time.
Golden era of Indian football 😍😍😍😍
1950 -65 is real golden era 😊
See the level of broadcast and commentary during that period in comparison to today's broadcast of Indian football games🥲; absolutely amazing 🔥🔥
Wow.. I didn't knew about this match 😮
Yes, because most Indians are victim of popular perception of current events, history has a functional utility for nations, Indians must watch this match to realise that they could have gone to another level by now had they capitalise upon this scintillating performance.This was probably the best Indian Squad of India in the last four decades, look at speed of both defenders and wingers , they matched world champion Argentina inch by inch. Salute to this great Asian Giant
India played fantastic against Argentina. Maximum Bengali players was in this team. Particularly Manoranjan bhattacharya in defence and prasanta banarjee in mid field was outstanding. India can win. If Narider thapa not missed from handshaking distance. He beloond the ball over the barpost.
Yes, you are right 😊
Completely Monoranjan was combination of power and defensive skill and prasanta was dangerous in the midfield
I can still remember those golden days of India football, where great teams like Argentina also stoped by Indian team. Indian football team must be sponsored sufficiently to get into foreign tour, training and exposer to the world level. Football is still the greatest game ever. Believe India can do better to get into the World Cup tour ament in near future. Thanks for the vedio.❤
Who should fund it? My income taxes better go to higher priorities than football.
@@rutvikrs Those companies who are funding Indian cricket Team.
@@mentalpeaceandrelaxation2116 those companies are buying into a product not choosing a predetermined winner. Why should they ditch cricket?

Win or lose, old is gold. It was worth watching. Thanks for your hard work.
This was in 1984. India fought gallantly, but failed to capitalize. Lost by a solitary goal by Ricardo Gareka. Even Carlos Bilardo appreciated the Indian team for their brilliant fight.
Así es estimado,este partido fue uno de los partidos que forjó al equipo que luego se consagraria en México 86 ,gracias por tener ese equipo luchador , siéntete orgulloso amigo
Those days the ball was as heavy as rock,
India seemed better then today's players and perhaps some countries might have feared india. Need to revive football , cricket is just a game of about 10 countries.
Cricket is game of 104 country.
And why are you jealous,no hate for football,but Indian football is to boring seriously,
I was 2 when I watched this from the gallery. That cross bar shot was heartbreaking then and now. Memories keep flooding back even after all these years.
Those were the times when football was for west Bengal, cricket for Maharashtra, hockey for Punjab. It was some kind regional bias. Now we have a proper representation of the entire nation in all these sports and the results are for everyone to see.
Lol
No disrespect to current Indian team they are good
But current team isn't better than the 1984 team
Who are you kidding? India football team has never been good.

My dad tells me that In 1954 to 1962 india was invincible in asia. They defeated Iran, Japan, korea, UAE and every kid in india used to play football then like cricket of today. And then India won 1983 cricket world cup by fluke and rest is history . We took up a game that no nation was interested in and became a champ in that.
It’s really a shame that a Great country like ours picked cricket and dominates it when no one else even takes it seriously, and left a world sport like football in the dust. Just shows our mindset as a country really, just weak.

@@mrkarim128when Bangladesh played better football than india???
Old indian team is 100 times better than current indian team
i would still say this Indian team was physically superior compared to what we have today. I mean look at them. I can easily see players well over 6 feet, taking nothing away from current squad but we need physicality and stamina. you cant compete with current teams with just skill, you will have to match physically and stamina wise. There was this same rhetoric when we last played AFC cup in 2015 and people saw the difference. Cant imagine our team going head on with current argentines, germans or french. We would have a few broken ribs , bodies flying a few feet in the air. I love my India football team but i can see the difference clearly . All in all what an Indian team this was. Just mesmerizing with their speed, quality of passes and i am sure none of the team members would have gone to public and said please come and watch our match coz people believed in this team . Cricket ne bhi bura haal karke rakha hai...wo bhi ek fact hai.
I am feeling so proud...... Amazing Indian team.... what lovely ball play... Goosebumps ❤❤
One observation that time lots of bengali were inside football team.. nowadays less and can see most the good footballer from north east side .. India football rising again.. that time also saw India team was not bad but India team’s golden time was 1950 to 54 where the team was really strong.. main issue was the sponsorship infrastructure and more participation and lack of international match for that India did not do well on this wonderful game.. let’s see India will rise again hopefully in football as now we got money infrastructure and getting more professional approach .. hopefully will do better to qualify World Cup..
Best players should play irrespective of their region. I’m a Punjabi, but always had lots of respect for bengalis for their love for football, classical music and sensible movies.
It’s high time for Nehru Cup to be revived again in the interest of the development of Football in India. Frequent exposure with foreign teams certainly add strength to overall development of Football in India. Good luck India. 👍👍👍
Nehru cup has changed to intercontinental cup which is good
14 January 1984
India 0-1 Argentina
Gareca 79
I was very passionated about football that time..in 1985 nehtu cup was Heald in Kerala I was there the match against the the great germeny where we lost 5 ..0..
Most of the players were from Bengal, damn that time Bengal football was🗿 , joy Mohanbagan 💚❤ , jay bharat 🇮🇳
The only difference was physically fitness. But their sprint was fire. 🔥
These maximum are all 35 +, India didn't even had national league back then. Physicality height is not a big deal, power & speed with skills is the key factors in football. Look at Japan top team of Asia only with speed & skills, west Asian teams with size & height is no where close to Japan. 🤷♂️

That day i was present in the stadium....Bilardo was the coach of the Argentina & india coach probably Chirich Milovan .
It's not a bad performance by the Indian team against future World Cup winners. This Indian team was indeed better than the current Indian team. Out of the Argentinian players who are playing this game, these players played the 1986 World Cup and won;
Goalkeeper - Nery Pumpido
Defender - Oscar Garré
Midfielder - Ricardo Giusti
Midfielder - Jorge Burruchaga
Defender - Néstor Clausen
and Argentina's manager in this match, Carlos Bilardo, is the same for Argentina's 1986 World Cup winning squad and 1990 World Cup squad.

Argentina was always a footballing powerhouse because of its European linkages and roots. We never had something like that.
Most of them are alive and doing well
Ouuuh bhai sahab🙄🤔😱😱 golden generation ever🇮🇳🇮🇳🌟🏅💛💛
This is not golden generation, this is last competitive generation of Indian football. Golden generation was 1950-64.
While analyzing the current team with 80s, we have to consider the following.
Back pass to goal keeper was allowed, which helped weaker teams considerably.
Even though many top players were part of Argentina team, it was not a full team, and going by the play, it was clear that they were not trying their best seems happy with just defeating us.
Football has become much more tactical and fitness level has increased. We were not able to catch up with the rest and got left out. A major factor was the infrastructure as it's didn't improve much in the past decades.

Many many thanks for uploading one of those rare eternal classics of Indian football. 🙏🙏 I know this is not the place, but this ruling party in WB today systematically destroyed the sports culture of the state. Any level of sports in the state today, is taken as a propaganda activity for their political needs. If any club requires funds and approaches the govt for it, there's a natural expectation for the govt and the party for political affiliation. There's no love for sports or encouragement of any sorts, from the govt of WB. When football became recognised as a national level sport in this country, it was only the players of this state who represented the national and international arena. Today, sadly, you'll hardly find anybody from this state in football. Systematically TMC and the WB government destroyed its rich sports legacy of the state.
Many thanks for this video 🙏🙏
