Minerva FC and Ranjit Bajaj seem to be gifts that keep on giving for Indian football. The club has given this team some of the best talents to Indian football - four of which are currently in the Indian team.

One of biggest names amongst them to have impressed in the World Cup has so far has been Anwar Ali. The boy with the ponytail, the defender at the heart of the defence has thoroughly impressed with his reading of the game and astute tackling. That was on show again today as he again led the defensive line - keeping the Colombians (who had nearly 70% possession of the ball) out time and again.

What was more impressive was the boy showed not only his talent but his character as well as he soldiered on even after taking a few hefty knocks.
