We got a big chance to make it to knock-outs <div>and probably if we make it we could be facing winner/runners-up of Group C</div><div><br></div><div>Could be an excellent experience for this young and talented batch</div>

Given, the recent amount of preparation qualifying for next round is on cards, but atleast being at third position would insure that India has progressed a lot!!! Lets be positive and hope for best!!!<br>

Dont care if we go through, this is a great draw and will be great exposure to our u16 players. Would be a nice treat however to go through which I think they can do, maybe 2nd.

It will be interesting to see how the Blue Tiger cubs play against Uzbekistan this time. They'll be eager to make up for the big loss from the qualifiers, they'll possibly have improved further, and they'll hopefully have AshIndia's favorite player Raja Rawat this time (he didn't play the Uzb game last time). This group gives the team a good mix of East Asian, Central Asian and Western Asian flavor.<br>

i am very happy with this draw.... :-D .... now as this tournament is going to take place in TEHRAN, IRAN....the aiff must look into the ACCLIMATIZATION of the players.... tehran is located in a mountainous terrain at an elevation of 1,200 m (3,900 ft)....the kind of weather that will greet the players will be a lot different than the sub continent...it is difficult to breathe at such altitudes.. if the matches are played at night it gets very chilly there around 5 deg celcius.....the last time during the qualifiers in uzbekistan,the team struggled due to the weather and same kind of altitude there.... this weather and altitude should not be a problem this time hopefully...and the aiff sends the team long before the actual tournament begins to be BATTLE READY....cheers<br>
