<br><div><br></div><div>That is not true at all. Unlike us, Afghanistan has not even played a FIFA friendly since 2011 while India will play one this coming August and almost played 2 in September. </div><div><br></div><div>In the last 3 tournaments they have played in they have only qualified for the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup, lost to us 4-0 in the SAFF Cup Final and failed to qualify for the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup.</div><div><br></div><div>Meanwhile their domestic league is basically a 3-4 month TV show while our domestic league is, believe it or not, a real football league. So to say that the Afghan federation is better is not right. The only thing Afghanistan has done better is recruiting players from the 4th and 5th tiers of German football. That is all.</div>
I don't understand what you guys are here for, it is a know fact that CMG were supposed to have Ind-Pak-Ban series in England but got it cancelled in last min. Why can't you get this into your nuts that AIFF is not at fault for this ? :-?? <br><br>If you have really good contacts and think you can convince countries to play friendly in last minute then feel free to join AIFF and help our cause. <br> <br>
<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Also the cancelation of the Philippine and Malaysia matches were not the AIFF's fault either. Those matches were scheduled ahead of time but the geniuses at the SAFF decided to have the the SAFF Cup during that time so we were forced to cancel.</font><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">For once, none of this is really the fault of the AIFF. They actually tried to do good.</font></div>

I doubt that was a "A" team friendly. Look at the squad, it was made up of domestic APL and I-League players. That is also probably why it is not listed but still, that is 1 game. The AIFF tried to set up 5 friendlies within 3 months and now they are gone.<div><br></div><div>Hell, we still do not even know the schedule for the SAFF Cup!!!</div>
