Playmaker
For all you pessimists out there who believe that you’ll never see India play in the FIFA World Cup, we have one word for you – Bah! The problem with Indian football so far has been that we’ve been fielding teams made up of players who actually play the game. That doesn’t make sense. What we need to build a team of the future is to think imaginatively and bring in long-time “players” who have made their mark in positions that would make them perfect for the squad.

Left Back: Prakash Karat. As the spearhead of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Karat has plenty of experience of being on the left wing. More importantly, since his party’s ideology became redundant in the 1980s, he also has plenty of experience of being totally left back.

Strikers: Any two members of the CITU, the trade union front of the CPI(M), preferably from West Bengal. After all, they have decades of striking of experience striking at the slightest pretext, even if they sometimes score own goals.

Playmaker: Sonia Gandhi. Just perfect for the role. She stays in the middle and controls the entire game and can do so without any responsibility. After all, if the defenders make mistakes, that’s not her fault. And if the forward can’t score, that won’t be her fault either. Of course, the downside is that she may just decide to opt out of the game in the middle given her penchant for making “sacrifices”. In that case, Manmohan Singh will have to come in.

Right Back: Arjun Singh. Who else? The man who has decided to take India right back to the dark ages can stay put there. Of course, there’s no question of him ever venturing forward and there’s always the danger that he may end up fouling the captain of his own team because of thwarted ambition.

Midfielders: Sharad Pawar, K Karunanidhi and Renuka Chaudhry. Because they’re so adept of sitting on the fence and are willing to align with the left or the right if it’s in their own interest.

Goalkeeper: P Chidambaram, simply because he’s the only person in India who seems to have set goals and tries to keep them.

Right Wing: LK Advani. Even without a rath, he can go tearing up the right flank and he’s used to crossing the strikers anyway.

Stopper: The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Whoever it is at this time since he has sent years trying to put a stop to the silly schemes that politicians cook up.
