    The Indian football team just went down 2-1 in a FIFA World Cup qualifier to the tiny Pacific island of Guam.

    Here are some figures that will show you why this really sucks for Indian football:

    The population of India is over 1,200,000,000 people. The population of Guam? About 165,000.

    Just for some perspective, that is more or less the population of Gurgaon.

    India has an area of 3,287,590 km². And Guam? 549 km².

    See that tiny black triangle thingy inside the red circle? That's about how big Guam is compared to India.

    India's FIFA world ranking is a dismal 141, but Guam is actually placed 33 places below, at 174.

    The Indian population is visibly unimpressed by this poor performance.

    Look away. Guam (population 180,000) beat India (1.25 billion) 2-1 in World Cup qualifying http://t.co/9YTju7apuW

    Guam has now overtaken Maldives to become the least populated country to ever defeat India in football. Congratulations Constantine!
