THE MUMBAI CITY TEAM has been stranded in Chennai since playing their match against Chennaiyin FC on Tuesday night. As the flood situation continues to worsen in the Tamil Nadu capital, all flights have been cancelled and chances for the team to exit the city looks dim. This has created a question mark over tomorrow's match between Atletico de Kolkata and Mumbai City FC to be held at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
CHENNAIYIN FC completely dominated Mumbai City on a rain-soaked encounter at Chennai's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. The home team took a 3 goal lead in the first half courtesy strikes from Stiven Mendoza, Jeje Lalpekhlua and Bernard Mendy, then controlled the game in the second half to claim a comfortable win. Mumbai City are now officially out of the race to ISL semi-finals while Chennaiyin FC are one step away from a top four berth
A DEMORALISED Mumbai City squad looked helpless and directionless on the wet turf at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai as they were completely dominated by Chennaiyin FC who took a 3 goal lead over them in the first half thanks to strikes from Mendoza, Jeje and Mendy.
MUMBAI CITY player-coach Nicolas Anelka has called out the franchise's management for giving him a team that has been lacking in fire-power. While speaking to reporters in the pre-match press conference before Mumbai take on Chennaiyin FC tomorrow, Anelka said things would have been different if he had got the chance to pick his own players.
WORD IS GOING AROUND that national team captain Sunil Chhetri may be on the verge of switching clubs. The upcoming I-League 2015-16 season may see him play not in the traditional blue of Bengaluru FC, but in the iconic green and maroon of defending champions Mohun Bagan.
THIS IS IT. The ISL 2015 has untangled its story through many twists and turns over 12 rounds, produced many frontrunners and bottom-stuck unfortunates. But the race to top four has been close enough for every single team to still be in the race; at least mathematically. But Round 13 will bring down the hammer of certainty on many teams' hopes and despairs. And we at TFG are telling you how it's going to turn out.
ROUND 12 of the Indian Super League saw the fight for top 4 come to a head, for real. It had massive goalfests and it had gritty draws. There were serious, long term consequences as well, as at least three teams had their semi-final dreams crushed.
MUMBAI CITY FC marque-player-cum-manager Nicolas Anelka on Thursday pointed out that the lack of fighting spirit is the main reason behind his side's poor run in the ongoing second season of the Indian Super League (ISL).
FOLLOWING HIS TEAM'S POOR RUN in the second season of the Indian Super League (ISL), which has left them with almost no chance to qualify for the semi-finals, Mumbai City FC marque-player-cum-manager Nicolas Anelka admitted that he might not return to the tournament's next season in 2016.
