So it will be decided Today whether it will be or it wont be for the U22 team.. I sincerely hope we do go ahead and qualify , as it will only generate more interest , more publicity , more media awareness for football..Thinking ahead considering papas has conditioned the team so well in 2 weeks, we will only get leaner and meaner after a year!!.. Iraq which can be considered an Asia top 7 side struggled against us, so after a year we have equal chances of us beating them or say taking the fight to Korea or Japan.. BUT for all this we must qualify..<br><br>I hope we get a divine helping hand , and hope that IRAQ stay true to the game & their pride , field their best 11 and beat UAE..It will be especially heart warming if UAE get knocked out as roles will be reversed , as they knocked out India in the WC qualifiers...<br><br>Hoping that U22 team just focus and just enjoy this game.. they have already far exceeded our expectations and should be proud of themselves...Just want to see at the end of the match the Blue Tigers ROAR in victory...<br> <br><br><br><br>
We have a very bright future. And I am not talking about 20 years later. In 5 years we should be Top 8-10 in Asia. We have the right kind of people in the right positions. Hats off to AIFF for the work they are doing. Currently they are the most sincere sports body in India.<div><br></div><div>Lets win the game today. Qualify or not, they are our heroes!</div>
