let the group A matches be held in india & we get telecast
Hopefully the AFC will adopt a UEFA type way of qualification in which we play 2 qualification games once every 2-3 months. In this case it would be 2 every 2 months. That way we could change the squad when needed and it gives chances for other youngsters to get better. Also it gives the AIFF a chance to expose the under-22 squad to other smaller stadiums in India like Hyderabad, Kerala, Mumbai, Sikkim, Punjab, Chennai etc and it gives the squad a taste of whats it like to travel away from home and come back.

Actually never mind. I just saw that the qualifiers are from June 23rd to July 3rd. YAY!!!! 5 games in around 10 days. What will the AFC come up with next. <!-- s:handgestures-thumbdown: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/handgestures/thumbdown.gif" alt=":handgestures-thumbdown:" title="Thumb Down" /><!-- s:handgestures-thumbdown: -->

Strongest group in the qualifiers.Iraq, UAE,Oman and Lebanon WTF , but still there is a chance, have to perform well and the most important thing is play International friendlies(Not 2 week camp in Dubai playing Local reserves sides.) <!-- s:pray: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eusa/pray.gif" alt=":pray:" title="Pray" /><!-- s:pray: -->
Coming to Squad coach has to select players based on performance not on his record of being U-19 player etc.

<!-- s:bow-plusone: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bow/plusone.gif" alt=":bow-plusone:" title="PlusOne" /><!-- s:bow-plusone: --> ya we should really think of getting some excellent results to get all eyes rolling and for that we might need to get the best teams at disposal in the qualifiers also
Right now the Number 1 problem is not players. Its the coach and right now Pailan Group want a South Korean. Come on! What will that do. Sure the Koreans have some good coaches but there record outside of Korea is very questionable. I say we go after a good Dutch, Spanish, German, English, French or Brazilian coach.
My Choices:
Frans Adelaar (Dutch)
Eddy Achterberg (Dutch - Notable)
Co Adriaanse (Dutch)
Stanley Menzo (Dutch - Notable)
Thomas Rongen (Very Notable and Dutch)
Horst Hrubesch (German - Notable)
Dieter Eilts (German - Notable)
Jürgen Kohler (German - Notable)
Juan Ramón López Caro (Spanish - Notable)
Iñaki Sáez (Spanish - Notable)
Howard Wilkinson (English)
Gérald Baticle (French)
Mauro Galvão (Brazilian)
Now if we want we can also go after a good Indian coach like..
Gift Raikhan: Current coach of the Pune FC Academy Under-19s. He understands what it is like to be coach of a proper youth set-up and so far his Pune FC U19 guys have done well.
And thats it. I dont really trust any other Indian coach. Maybe Khalid Jamil or Santosh Kashyap but that is it.

ya they can give a try on santosh kashyap who has proved his talent as a good coach to get best of less known players and get some positive results if not him then may a south american or dutch or spanish coach for the job
