We definitely were an inferior team on such a big stage. We'll be bigger minnows come the world cup. But hopefully this will be good experience for them. I really do hope that there is good coverage and marketing of the world cup. Merely competing in the world cup should provide certain impetus for interest in grassroots football. And for one, I hope the calendar is sorted out before this group begins their careers as professionals. It could even be better if foreign teams come for some of them after the world cup. Komal especially deserves such a chance..
On rereading my post, I realize how many hopeful optimistic words are there. Pretty reflective of our footballing scope really. Its sad that there's no concrete things we can point to alongside, thus far, fruitlessly hope..
