Not surprising at all! Since the commonwealth games fiasco, I am sure our ministers can stoop to any low disregarding countries reputation at stake.

The sports ministry should be asked how this "delegation" will help in improving India's status in world football? :-x

India does not even figure in top 10 countries of Asia which is saying something considering the fact that Asian countries have historically poor showing in world cups (with the exception of Japan and South Korea)

We all know that this is no delegation. Just a bunch of ministers going to have a great time.

This is what I got from one of my professors:
"I remember a group of CBI officials went for a tour in Milan and other cities in Italy to question the middleman (an Indian) accused in the Helicopter scam and enjoyed on taxpayers money for more than two weeks while that man (whom they went for questioning was actually in Tihar jail in Delhi). In our country, everything is possible!"

Goa is going to organise under-17 FIFA world tournament in 2017. these MLAs are to be given charge of various facets of its organisation. Goa has organised many football tournaments in the past (commonwealth equivalent intl. tournaments as such). So CM Parrikar has said they consider this as an investment to increase tourism through football events and to gain experience in organising such events.

but after media frenzy and subsequent public backlash they have decided to go on their own expense.

I've heard them said in NDTV primetime show with Arnab. He was bashing the MLAs as shameful and even insulted them as shameful, if they go to Brazil with the govt-money.
