A big chunk of the world’s population will be following the results with interest.

That blanket statement assumes that everyone in China and India will be interested in knowing if the teams qualify, which is a bit of a stretch.

Football, and I am referring to passionately watching and following the game as opposed to playing on and off in school, is only popular in a few parts of India, namely Goa, Kerala, Bengal and the northeast.

It fares better in China I suppose.
