The AIFF media team used the word "innate" to describe the defending of the defenders of a soccer team! That is the wrong word to use in this context! Innate means - natural, inbred, congenital or a feeling born from withing like an intuition or a visceral thought! They tried t be clever with a word and misused it.
Arab Teams traditionally do not do well at AFC U-16 championships. Last times any team from that region did well was in 2002 when UAE won otherwise there is hardly any Arab team in top 4. They seem to be Late Bloomers.
Good Job India. Let this performance give them confidence for many more such good results in future.
We need a under 15 ileague or isl whatever you call it then only we can have far better results. This time we actually have 2 teams,imagine having around 7-8 teams with decent setup
This is not a bad result.. Bahrain came after much preparation. As per BFA site this squad has participated in GCC U17 tournament and results are as below.
Oman U17 vs Bahrain u17 2-0 and Kuwait U17 vs Bahrain U17 2-1
Btw, i think india must have used 3 defender , 2 attackers with 1 midfielder playing defensive role too, formation atleast against weaker teams, especially considering the future. We have good def in indian team...but it is hard to find good strikers
Eventual Winner Oman U17 and Kuwait U17 managed to score only a small margin victory against this Bahrain team in recently concluded GCC tournament in Doha .
@arun - no it doesn't. "inbred" can mean something that you have from birth or that it is a product of inbreeding, neither of which can be used to describe the state of defense of a soccer team.
