Grp Team Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts
B Kuwait 4 2 1 1 2 1 +1 7
A Oman 4 2 0 2 6 8 −2 6
D Lebanon 4 2 0 2 3 8 −5 6
so for us to make it to next round we need min of 7 pts....which means we would be beating pakistan anyway...now a min of draw against uzbekistan is needed...can we do it??? <!-- s:handgestures-fingerscrossed: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/handgestures/fingerscrossed.gif" alt=":handgestures-fingerscrossed:" title="Fingers Crossed" /><!-- s:handgestures-fingerscrossed: -->
not bad at all.. we r unlucky to concede those goals...
main thing we shuld improve is our pace... really pathetic pace...
need to take extra risk to score goals against Uzb.. similar play again I am pretty sure we can't score....
any moment we can see at max 1 player in Iran box... even though Brandon positioning himself well in mid field, he is staying out of the opponent box all the time..
what i like most is
1) Brandon passes
2) Holicharan play
3) Fela's dribbling ( need to work on 1st touch )
4) Nice headers
5) We are able to keep the ball..
Looking at the Iran players you would think they were in there early 20's (maybe 21, 22, 23) but i doubt that they breached rules.
Anyway the Iran players look a lot more physical and faster than India. I think if we do well with our u16s then when they become u19s we would beat Iran again because I doubt there next batch of u19s will be any different from the current ones
guys lets not be disheartened with this result..the boys fought well against an Iranian team which was the asian u-16 champions in 2008 having defeated south korea 2-1 in finals..this iranian team is really classy and before coming here had defeated a strong saudi team(which has easily qualified for finals this time) 2-1 and 4-0...i hope we do really well against uzbeks and score a surprise win against them.. <!-- s:pray: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eusa/pray.gif" alt=":pray:" title="Pray" /><!-- s:pray: --> <!-- s:pray: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eusa/pray.gif" alt=":pray:" title="Pray" /><!-- s:pray: --> <!-- s:handgestures-thumbup: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/handgestures/thumbup.gif" alt=":handgestures-thumbup:" title="Thumb Up" /><!-- s:handgestures-thumbup: -->
I knew we won't get past this stage after seeing Iran and Uzbekistan in our group(Still there is a chance if we beat Uzbek).
Mr Rob Baan and other guys who are going to work on next set of U-13 players have to make sure they select good physical players in certain positions and improve pace of their game to match such teams.
Don't be much hopeful about third place,cause teams in Group B already look to be top contenders,even if we draw Uzbek we need big win against Pak as conceded 3 goals against Iran. <!-- s:sad-teareye: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad/teareye.gif" alt=":sad-teareye:" title="Teary Eye" /><!-- s:sad-teareye: -->
So give your 200% against Uzbekistan and try to win it <!-- s:pray: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eusa/pray.gif" alt=":pray:" title="Pray" /><!-- s:pray: -->
Luck can Help India incase we fail to beat Uzbekistan
Okay guys went through some deep calculations and it looks like India can still make it through to the tournament even if they lose to Uzbekistan,but for that we need Jordan and Bahrain to draw each other on 4th and we have to lose by a smaller margin and beat Pak by best possible margin to have better GD.
This is how 3rd place table going to look :-
Oman 6 pts, -2 GD
Lebanon 6pts, -5 GD(Already out)
Jordan 5pts(will only have 5pts as result against Bhutan will not be counted
1) So India has to lose by smaller margin to Uzbek say 1-0 and beat Pak by best possible margin say 4-0. Then would would finish as best 3rd team with 6pts,+2 GD
2) But If either of Jordan or Bahrain win then we have to Draw Uzbekistan and beat Pak by huge margin to qualify as 3rd best team
