1) No! It is not a reference to cup size! D++ is the largest!
2) Yes I did go for the finals at Fatorda.
3) No, I was seeing double and larger anyway with
Excess-Caju-Feni-Consumption both before and during the game,
4) How do I know why they don't have ZeeJocks? Maybe it's got to do with
the fact that the players and officials are all male and so is 95% of the
audience. More testosterone is definitely not wanted. A balancing factor is!
Cheers!

Sexed up and on a ball
Anupam Thapa
Goa, October 25, 2005
For long, Indian football has played second fiddle to its more popular
cousin: cricket. So, as seven sexy babes - The ZeeBras - take the field
during the ongoing Federation Cup as cheerleaders, they'll hope their short
skirts and pom-poms draw spectators to the desi football scene.
The ZeeBras are already a phenomenon in Goa, where the Fed Gup is being
held. If Zee Sports, who've acquired the exclusive marketing and telecast
rights of all major domestic tournaments for the next 10 years, were
looking for a headstart, this was it. "We want to make the ZeeBras icons,"
says Gaurav Seth, vice president, Zee Sports. "We plan a strong promotional
campaign for Indian football, built around them. It's difficult selling any
sport in India except cricket. The concept of cheerleaders has been a hit
in Goa, and should help boost affairs. These girls were selected out of
1,000 entries. Next year, we will embark on a nationwide search for the
ZeeBras."
The girls, who'll be a permanent feature during tournaments, dance to music
whenever a goal is scored and entertain the crowd at half time. They're
such a hit in Goa that a scuffle broke out during the Mohammedan
Sporting-Fransa match, when the crowd demanded more ZeeBra action.
Two out of the seven girls are from abroad (Tel Aviv and London) and the
rest are Mumbai-based models. Says Shruti, who participated in last year's
Gladrags Supermodel hunt: "Cheerleading is fun, although tiring." Elena
from Tel Aviv sees her stint as a ZeeBra as a modelling launchpad. "The
best part is I've made lots of friends on the job," she says.
And TV coverage of the show will have a sexy new hostess. Like cricket's
Mandira Bedi, football has found its glam face in Delhi girl Mayanti
Langer. Zee Sports is grooming her, to be a household phenomenon.
Mayanti, 20, is an English (Hons.) graduate from Hindu College. A die-hard
football fan, she says: "I was hooked to football when my dad was posted in
New York. I learnt my football there and also played there. During my
college days, I was attached to an organisation that was involved in
organising the children's football league in Delhi. I always wanted to do
something for the game, so I'm excited about my new job."
The stage is set. Now will the footballers raise the bar of the game too?
