Yeah, I'm sure, I'm Indian!
In reply to your statement - I'm a HUUUUUUUUUGE football buff. I've been following the EPL since I was around 10 (I'm now 13). The sport, especially the EPL, is very popular here in Asia. ESPN and Star Sports are the main sports channels available, and they cover a lot of football, so it's no surprise I'm obsessed!
As for the English part - thanks! It's just a myth that Asians (especially Indians) aren't that great at English. Where I live, in Chennai, 85% of the schools are English-medium. English is also a compulsory subject in EVERY school, even the non-English -medium schools. The aim of the government is to ensure that everyone is literate in English...which is a huge reason why the country's developing so rapidly.
No offense taken at all!
