India qualified for the 1950 World Cup, but they refused to go.



The reason? Apparently, they didn't really understand what the World Cup was, so they decided not to attend. The official reason given by the All India Football Federation was that there was insufficient practice time and disagreements over team selection.

Indian Football Team captain Sailen Manna had this to say, "We had no idea about the World Cup then. Had we been better informed, we would have taken the initiative ourselves. For us, the Olympics was everything. There was nothing bigger.":skd

In fact, the Indian team had already competed in the Olympics in 1948.

The story that they didn't play because FIFA didn't let them play barefoot is a myth. They competed in the 1952 Olympics while barefoot.
..................
Still As of now on the website of FIFA they're selling the story of not
allowing Indians playin barefoot in the world cup.... :wall

Hey guys....
Today's Fun fact is abt the....

Human Magnet (Mr. Magnet)

In Malaysia, 78 years old Liew Thow Lin is known as the Human Magnet
or Mr. Magnet. He can make metal objects, weighing up to 2kg, stick to
his skin without any aid and he is a scientific mystery because there is
no trace of a magnetic field around his body. Scientists say his skin is
also normal and there is no explanation for his unusual talent.



In 2006 he even pulled a 10.6-tonne bus using only his body's "magnetic force". Liew Thow Lin placed a steel contraption under his armpit, hooked it to a chain with the other end tied to the bus. He then pulled the bus for 3.4 metres in less than a minute. "I myself am surprised by my extraordinary ability although I'm already 78 years old" he told reporters.
