Bullpin was adamant that most of the players needs to be from Arrows side.Now he changed his mind and selected players who also had a good run in I League.Good for Indian team.I think this one is much more competitive team than the earlier one.
Forward line don't have any reliable scorers apart from Jeje
Gilbert & Arindam(2nd choice) good enough to start for senior team so no need in Olympic team.
Robin,Moharaj,Nirmal and Fela should perform better only then they'll get future call-ups
Very well deserved call-ups for Gurjinder Kumar (Pune FC), Snehasis Chakraborthy (McDowell Mohun Bagan), Anthony Barbosa (Salgaocar SC), Zakir Mundampara (Churchill Brothers),Arnab Mondal (Chirag United),
Saba Saleel (ONGC). ??? Can anybody give more info on him ?? <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":?:" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: -->
The others I thought ought to have been included were Naoba Singh (included in the senior probables), Bineesh Balan, Sanju Pradhan and (let the protest's start ..... ) Sushil Kumar (also included in the senior probables).
Also, is Zakeer U-23? Goal.com has him at 28 and Keralafootball at 24. Presumably the AIFF knows better (for all their faults, they are good at bureaucracy, so checking player's ages would be right up their alley).
I agree with Ash on some of the missing names above. I have changed my mind and now think that Fela needs to improve some more before donning the Blue Tigers' jersey (hopefully he stays with the Arrows for another year). Robin Singh would have made it for the first half of the season but then his form took a nosedive. Nirmal has just returned from injury and hasn't played a substantial role yet. However, I think Mohanraj ought to have made it to the team. Colaco thought he was good enough for the Senior probables so he was surely good enough for this team.

send all the rumours also <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
Less chance of any friendly, the matches against Pakistan is after the match
I hope AIFF will arrange atleast 1 friendly match.. without playing friendlies, we can't be good against d west asian teams..

I also think that Gilbert should be included in this team. I think are chances to advance to the next round in the Olympic qualifiers is far better than the WC qualifiers, so we ought to field the best possible team (check out my article at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.sportskeeda.com/2011/04/07/blue-tigers-dont-let-the-2014-world-cup-distract-you-from-the-2012-olympic-qualifiers/">http://www.sportskeeda.com/2011/04/07/b ... ualifiers/</a><!-- m -->). Perhaps, Colaco and Bulpin aren't comparing notes.
Arindam is recovering from injury and won't be ready in time for these games. I think he'd have been a certain starter if he was fit.
