@silicon3 Thirty -One Nil. It's about small teams which somehow create football teams, but have passion for it (many of the examples atleast like palestine, afghanistan, haiti etc.). Thirty one nil is named after the 31-0 vvictory of australia again one american samoa
@mohammed_87hassan That is because Iceland is a country in Europe. They came second in their World Cup Qualification table after Switzerland. Most of their top players play for top european clubs such as Ajax Amsterdam, Cardiff City, Tottenham Hotspur etc.
My advice is let AIFF or club academies train our players to international standards. When they improve their skills and come in the level of European standards then I think top clubs in Europe should try to recruit 6 or 7 talented players in their main team. The experience which they gain will be useful in beating countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia or maybe Jordan or Iran. I know it will take time to achieve that goal.
As you said earlier Indians can't play in EPL or La liga. Well there are other top leagues such as French Ligue 1, Italian Serie A, Eredivisie or Ukrainian Premier league. There are so many top clubs in Europe. But I admit it will take time to reach at that level. It's about having vision to achieve that success.
Its not because they are EuropeSan country or There player play in top European league it's because they have better standard of football They have population less then Chennai still they do much better Passion for game is.much important
