I just hope we keep playing higher ranked middle Eastern teams in friendlies instead of playing Nepal, Bangladesh kind of games
Absolutely because it is less embarassing to lose to higher ranked opponents then it is to draw with the likes of Bangladesh, Afghanistan and, For God's sake, Sri Lanka, something that we are doing a lot these days! I mean...we drew with Sri Lanka in Saff Cup! If that was not a wake up call then I don't know what is!
What is the point of playing Sunil Chettri and Jhingan in an inconsequential match tonight? Jhingan is already prone to injury and Chettri is 37! He will not gain anything by playing against Hong Kong. Jhingan might get injured. Stimac could have tried Vikram Pratap as striker and tried a new central defensive partnership of Anwar Ali and Sana! For how long will we deoend upon Chettri? New strikers have to be given chance and this was a good opportunity for it. Slso Yasir could have been picked for this match. What is this coach doing? We need to try out as many new players as we can before Asia Cup.
if we top the group, then it will be reflected in seedings right? perhaps that may be the reason. anyways doesn't matter. maybe stimac wants to get perfect 3 wins in a row. i don't think that had happen.
Its equally important to win all 3 matches. Kind of makes a statement both for Stimac and India. Hong Kong really looks a good team. India playing well though. Up 2-0 in first half
