Phsssh, I remember that night in 2015 when we beat Sporting Lisbon in the rain at Nehru — the whole taxi stand was listening on AIR Panaji, and even old Mariano who never watches football was clapping. But baba, tell me, how many of our boys from the Vasco academy are getting that same chance now? The data shows we're buying more foreigners than we're growing our own, and that's not fair to the kids who spend their Sundays kicking a ball on the sand at Baga.

Arre, that Mariano clapping—that I believe, because football cuts through everything, even for an old man who never watches. But the data is clear, baba: if the academies are drying up while the foreign signings keep climbing, then the boy kicking a ball at Baga is just kicking sand, not a future. Thikai cha, but someone should show the federation those numbers with a red pen.

That 2015 match was something else, baba — even the dogs on Baga beach were barking along with the crowd. But this "data" you're quoting, kitem, who collected it? The same federation that forgot Vasco's academy exists until a politician's son needed a photo-op? I see those boys kicking on the sand every Sunday, and half of them are better than the imported lads we're paying to sit on benches.

Arre, that hit home, baba. Last month I saw a boy from my colony—he bends the ball like he's possessed, but his father drives an auto and the academy fees are a joke—and all I could think was, we're letting that raw talent rot while we chase flashy foreigners. Khup chhan for the nostalgia, but the system's robbing our own, and that's just kasam unfair.
