All the above are really harsh words. AIFF was trying to take baby steps after asian cup (Hiring exp Dutch TD/Coach, Setting up Regional Academy director with Scott o donnel & Arthur did begin with a Bang for the AIFF U22 squad)
But ruined it by handing it over to IMG. The primary purpose of IMG was to find a sponser for the NT, They havent even done that. Next they were supposed to find a sponser for the I-league they havent done that.
They were expected to make decisions to improve football, The only thing they offered for the IPL league which destroys the game here. They Didnt support arrows initiative. Rob Baan's Lakshya plan wasnt supported and nor was funding even considered.
AIFF needs to take a strict view on IMG cos selling 15 years of Indian football for Just 700 crores which hasnt even trickled down to infrastructure is criminal.
Nothing new there. Just plain old cribbing. We have seen better posts here. The way the article put without proper knowledge is BS. It talks as if Afghanistan has stunned India while the reality is they have always been the rising power in SAFF for the last 2 years especially when you have so many players playing abroad. While in india the i-league isnt providing the quality supply that it should.

<P>@jees_jose ; it not only about the final game, but all the games leading to the final.. also it might be all d previous loses in AFC games, palestine tajik etc etc that are factored in..</P>
These people dont watch football and then suddenly wake up when India loses a major event. I won't have seen any positive article like if India had won. Mostly they need a issue like 'Jharkhand Tribal Girls won an international event, ignored at home'.... It would have been good if these guys can address players non payment issue, or the pailan arrows players issue...
