You know these letters and these words have been always flowing in + whenever there is a word or letter , there comes a ceasefire violation alongside it on loc , if they really want indian govt to make real talks towards friendship , this should come through actions not talks or letters , @sam you said ' pak army sent letters' , well it would have been a step towards friendship if their army would have handed over 'hafeez saied' , thats when i would have called it a step towards friendship , otherwise a letter or some words on friendship with india alongside a ceasefire violation is just like putting salt after giving us a wound .
Just like SAFF Championship, Football is also played in South Asian Games. Interestingly, we have a poor record in that. Out of 12 South Asian Games, India has won only 3 Gold Medals, last time in 1995 Madras SAF Games.
In 2016, Nepal defeated us 2-1 in Guwahati.
Next South Asia Games will be in Kathmandu in March 2019. Hope for Gold this time. 24 year jinx now.
In 2004 SAF Games, SC was the coach and he took Sunil Chhetri there. Team was young and while Chhetri was the star player in that tournament, India lost to Pakistan in the Finals.
1999 Games also we lost depite Vijayan, Ancheri, Chapman,
1995 Madras Games was the time when India defeated Bangladesh 1-0 to win Gold.. Syed Sabir Pasha was the scorer and India had Bhutia, Vijayan in the team.
Before that, Gold Medal came in 1987 Calcutta SAF Games. India 1-0 Nepal. Farid was the scorer for India against Nepal captained by Ganesh Thapa.
Our 2016 SAF games Football team was not bad. Probably more experienced then what we sent this time to SAFF championship. NT regulars like Holicharan, Borges were there.
