yeah i agree we sud b @ atleast 130 for that but atleast playing one or two such team in one year will b ok. we will gt some publicity among indians(european footy fans) along with thrashing too.

u mad bro??
who cares about india vs pak series apart
from some handful of indian football
lovers n few
pakistanis.
when bayern played against india there was much much more hype.every single
FB football group was discussing about
that match.every european football
loving fan who nevr had ny interest in
our NT wished to watch see that match
live in stadium though we Delhiites were the lucky ones.
yes there is a rivalry factor n
always will be but at end it's only a
football match.
cricket is a religion in india n pak
too.it will b as same as a normal match xcept that here our pride is @ stake like
in local derbies. yes we must play against pak but only
once in 2-3 years. having some 3
matches series will absolute waste of
time.i wud rather have a 3 match series
with nepal or afgans.
