seems these players are from AIFF Goa academy....physically they look like real u14 team whereas Iran team looks like u16...no wonder these guys lost to Iran , Pakistan both physically strong team...more over the team was put together just few months before the tournament....would like to see them..2 years from now when they play u16 level.

I guess this is the same match that we were watching online when after HT, the channel started showing something else. Thanks @gopiajeesh for sharing it. Clearly our players look much smaller. Even then they managed quite wel I would say

The one thing I took out of that video is that this is not enough. I understand that this is under-14 football so I have no complaints about the style of play or the quality but what I do worry about is how many of these kids can actually make it. We need more Academies, we need more younger, energetic, coaches who know how to teach kids in this age group the mechanics of football and to help kids enjoy the game. Having only 1 proper Academy do it won't help at all.<div><br></div><div>This is good and it tells us we have what it takes but we need more.</div>

<br><br>Same opinion bro, If this is the team which is going to represent India in U-17 WC then get ready for some disappointing results.<br>
