am actually happy with the draw..its kind of similar to a WC draw...expect no easy games..hope we would have improved enough to beat Iran and Saudi..this is better than getting unpredictable youth teams like Iraq, Uzbeks,DPR Korea
UAE definitely the strongest at this level considering their recent rise. Iran at times are good and at times okay. Saudi Arabia is probably the weakest but you never know.
All the 3 teams have better structure and facilities so we have nothing to lose.
For the sake of progress SE Asian teams are better suited for us as historically we have done better than them.
However no complaints, This would be a real test and a much needed barometer on how much has come out of the huge investment made on this current setup.
If they even make it to the quarters, Its progress indeed. For which they would have to beat one of the teams in the group and atleast draw another one which would be good results indeed.
