India Was Disqualified From FIFA World Cup 1950 Because Players Wanted To Play Barefoot
India made it to FIFA 1950 after four teams backed out from participating. The tour to Brazil was a costly affair and AIFF thought that India had no chance of winning against the likes of Italy. To escape embarrassment, AIFF blamed the FIFA for not accepting players who wanted to play barefoot.

Ya, playing barefoot is very comfortable.
