Taking the cue from @namewtheld , it will be great to have IFN banner and a kinda meet up. Can someone open a new thread on this, and we can coordinate through that. Let's see how many can come, and what kind of resources we need gather. IFN can contribute a reasonable portion of that. Would be great if one of the participant connects with me through fb/twitter/email, would help in fast coordination.
Sahal is such an exciting talent, this guy should definitely try out in better leagues abroad. I hope Amarjit is fit before Bangladesh match. India looked more fitter than last match, the more matches we play, more match fitter we will become. Coach should really put his foot down with AIFF, we can't afford to miss out on FIFA match days.
Now the way forward - Assuming Oman loses both its matches against Qatar while winning remaining 4 matches against Bangladesh and Afghanistan and excluding their home match against India, they will have max 15 points (3 already against India in first match). Now coming to India, assuming we win all 4 matches against Bangladesh and Afghan while losing our hone game against Qatar (afterall how long will our luck last?) and excluding our away match against Oman, it seems we will have 13 points. Now this means when India and Oman clash on November 14 (not sure about date), it will be mouth watering clash and a must win for both of them. Must win for India because it can get us to 16 points and 2nd place. For Oman because playing for a mere draw against a desperate team can be suicidal. Although a draw can work for them. But i believe this one game will decide the second spot. Now we just need out NT not to fuck up against afghan or bangla!

He played against Japan in Asian Cup Final & had a decent game in defense & attack..
Atleast mid tier asian clubs will sign Indian footballers. Mainly midfielders If they can improve their finishing skills..
Brain says Qatar, but Heart Says India.. and some love symbols..
