If Robin doesnt turn up for the camp, he wont be taken in the team. Thats the general practice followed by coaches around the world, no matter how big that player is.
Arindam most likely to miss the match due to injury.
Burma will be very strong as they have better League than ours, though its only 2 years old.
From my side its 50-50, both the teams have equal chance of winning the tie. <!-- s8-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8-)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8-) -->
Burmese league is still in a developmental stage..our league is way too strong for them..by next season we might have a fully professional leaue..our clubs are knocking on ACL doorsteps and are strong performers in AFC cup whereas Myanmar are not even in AFC cup and are playing presidents cup..lol
The Robin Singh exclusion is interesting. On the one hand Des has been constantly bemoaning the dearth of physically imposing forwards, and when he gets one, he ignores him? Wouldn't he fit perfectly into his long ball strategy? I first thought it might be because Robin would be unavailable for the 2nd leg in Myanmar and he wanted continuity, but that can't be true since he's included Nirmal Chetri into the squad.
Well, fingers crossed for tomorrow. People, please opst the live streaming links here.

No, Nirmal was registered.
In fact, I heard Robin will be available from the 2nd leg. So, AIFF's callousness is the main thing here..i can't believe that these people don't even see/know the rule <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif" alt=":evil:" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: -->
After all the hype about EB not releasing him and then releasing, they tell us that he is not eligible....
