U-16 @IndianFootball team and coach @23ibiano you are already heroes and the country is proud of you. Take a bow!
The way South Korea cherished their victory in the end goes to show that it was by far the most tough game for them. I am glad that we made them feel like it.
Really unfortunate had it not been for Korea maybe we would have been playing WC again. But again we did have chances to top the group and change the things but anyways amazing effort from the players, coach, staff and everyone involved. This is by far the best ever performance by an Indian team at any level. The defenders were exceptional and can be considered benchmark at Asian level.
What next now ? I hope we make changes in our domestic system. How many more years will just AIFF do the job of grooming players ?? There should be a good platform for more hidden talents and the existing batch shouldn't warm benches of ISL or be playing in I-League 2nd Division tournament.
We need a bigger pool, better platform we shall definitely transition this success to senior level.
am disappointed but not upset with the team. I feel we got the hardest possible opponents all along and yet we did beyond expectations. The only goal we conceded is the one that kept us out of the WC eventually. Though I wish we had played more attacking game but the absence of few key players like Bikash and Danu did definitely hurt us. Still very proud of this team and I hope AIFF still keeps sending them to good tours abroad and not just try to make money out of them in the Arrows model

Taking nothing away from him, actually for weak teams GK always looks outstanding like a super human.
