2 matches remaining now in Quarter-Final Group A, to be played on Saturday:
Manipur v Chhattisgarh
West Bengal v Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu cannot qualify for the semi-finals.
Manipur will qualify for the semi-finals with a win or a draw against Chhattisgarh. Manipur will also qualify if they lose, provided that West Bengal also lose, and lose by 3 more goals than Manipur lose by (for example, a 0-1 defeat for Manipur and a 0-4 defeat for West Bengal will mean Manipur qualify).
Chhattisgarh must win to qualify for the semi-finals. Any other result and they are out.
West Bengal will qualify with a win or a draw against Tamil Nadu. The only way West Bengal cannot make the semi-finals is in the unlikely situation described above, where they lose heavily to Tamil Nadu and Manipur also lose to Chhattisgarh.
Railways has the best defence of any team in the Santosh this year - they have scored 12 goals in their 5 matches and so far, nobody has managed to score against them.
Goa 0 Services 3 !!!!! Unbeleivable!!!! Now this is the kind of stuff that Santosh trophy has in store for us. Goa sent a team the players of which play for some 2nd division teams. Santosh trophy does not represent the true spirit of Indian football. AIFF doesn't care but for their coffers.

It's even more unbelievable because Goa played Railways, not Services. If you'd read the posts above you would know that. Why should the AIFF care if the fans don't even care to find out what teams are playing?
