Juan Pena was doing well. I wonder why they substituted him. Just read that he is ex-Malaga player. The same team which played in Quarter finals for UEFA Champions Legaue wow!!!<br>

So... a couple of notes from the East Bengal-Sporting Goa match.<div><br></div><div>1) Defense in I-League is horrible. Chidi Edeh was just allowed to gracefully head that ball into the net. No challenge whatsoever.</div><div><br></div><div>2) Juanfri will be a future star in India. This game is the first time I have seen something from him and it was good. His technic is actually decent and his shooting ability is something that many coaches in I-League will want. </div><div><br></div><div>3) Chidi Edeh actually passed the ball while in the 18-yard box. Yes, it actually happened. It was a rare sight indeed.</div>
Very surprised with the way SCG played. Very disruptive kind of football. Hardly any constructive play. Very much unlike what they usually play. They could have won it though in the final stages.

With Dempo having no Centre backs for the CB match and EB drawing today, I think CB is almost 90 % sure of the title. BTW Peter Carvalho will partner Selwyn as centre backs for the CB game.
<p>i think this will be a close finish.....</p><p>My prediction is</p><p>1. Churchill - 51points</p><p>2. Pune - 50 points</p><p>3. East Bengal - 49points</p><p>Mohun Bagan will finsh with 35 points</p><p>Air India & United Sikkim will not pick any more points....</p><p> </p>
