2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil

At the Arena Sao Paulo

The unmistakable Number 10 Jersey which he wore in the Mexico World Cup

Goycochea very fondly holds and signs on a book which 

I had written some 20 years ago on Argentina`s living God

Maradona`s Manager Sebastian,a Goalkeeper known as Sergio Goycochea and Yours Truly

The sculptures along the Copacabana Beach

There is also a Couch provided at The Media Centre to Relax

The Sao Paulo Press Box

With Cafu

At the Media Center after interviewing Jhandelin Nunez….

Finally on the Beach Front on the 25th day in Brazil….

This is on the Copacabana Beach Front…

Covering Messi ! Unarguably the bestest delight !

In front of the legendary Maracana Stadium

Our Den–The Rio Media Centre

When In Rome Do As The Romans Do..When In Brazil Do As The Brazilians Do…

This is the first statue of Pele in the Santos Football Club

An usual Kolkata Maidan visitor in faraway Santos

The match is about to begin and yes, the penalty had not happened !

Unlike a Cricket Press Box ,in Football you sit in an Open area along with the public
