Defense has played shit..Just look how many passes the Syrians played within the Indian box...No world class team will allow this..Goes to show how much we lack not only in experience but also technique..
Maybe in my lifetime I shall never see any Indian team perform well to lift my spirits..its shame that I love football over any other sports.
then follow my footsteps ..am following cricket bandminton football hockey tennis rugby ...so if bad news is coming from 1 sport then success in different sports nuetralised the effect ..so keep cheering ...when India lost to Australian in semifinals ..I was upset for few moments then I feel why to be upset in April there is Azlan shah ...after all hockey is our national games ...to add that mahila hockey team won league by defeating Poland ...so happy moments ..so don't get dejected ...
Now now, let's not get heartbroken because this is nothing new, we been in this situation several times. It was an expected loss. I was told by my friend that this Syrian team is weak and first thing I thought was we had a chance but after today's game I realized one thing, no matter how bad our opponents are, we just can't play football to win nor draw against Arab countires when played abroad. Look at Syria, they were well prepared by going on tours and most importantly played international friendlies, whereas us we played some low level club and drawing against our academy, moreover the best players sick, tired, injured, etc so they stayed back in India or at the hotel or bench warming.
We were never there to win and move forward to the next round, really what the hell was AIFF thinking, are we Spain or Germany, by just putting up a squad and play a club as friendlies and go guns blazing against thee countries, oh yeah AIFF thought they aranged a friendly against Churchill who they were thinking were Barcelona FC of India, I was upset with @goalkeepar comment prior to this tournament but now I agree with his comment.
Anyone can counter me by saying oh we played brillint by keeping mighty Uzbekistan from scoring in the first 88 mins, well the truth is they were not suited to the condition and did not play well and have picked up their game against Bangladesh, thank god we didn't have to play them last.
Ok.. AIFF is complete joke, they have to pull up their socks and give equal importance to all age groups or just concentrate on grass roots, academies, etc. If this keeps on going, I don't see India in the football map, AIFF will kill Indian football, slow poisoning. We perform so well in under 16 level and after that we slowly go behind and by under 23 we are no where.
Really a sad day, but lets not give up, there's always hope against hope in other age categories and NT that there is someone there who can SCORE goals for India.
I hope we beat Bangladesh, realistic margin, atleast 1-0.
it should be tough to lose by 4 goals, but we lost by 6 goals today in Tehran to Iran...guess how many Afghan fan was in the stadium? 80,000 Afghan 300 Iranian!!
