    Turkmen team has been preparing since Jan in Europe and Phils are the host and they have good European players,so looks very unrealistic for us.

    Yes we dont deserve to qualify but not playing any competitive games till 2015 is not a good advertisement for our football,with NT and I-League already struggling to find any sponsors we'll only move backwards.

    Its Been Heard That, Bangladesh Threatened To Pull Out Their Team From AFC Region & Bangladesh Officials Will be Flying To Fifa Head Quarters, If AFC Keeps their Decision Of "Null Points"Rule!

    Mean while, AFC will Be Holding a meeting Tonight Regarding This Issue & They might Give3 Points On That Brunei gamewith a +3 GD

    Giving +3 GD to all teams against Brunei is bad as this will cause unfair advantage to 2nd placed team in last grp.

  • I think AFC has already done that..they gave all the three teams 3 points +3 GD..its showing in their site!!

    In that case only way India can make it is that any 2nd place team draws with 3 placed team and loses to 1st placed team.

    seems quite unfair 3-0 win awarded to everyone against brunie....this will reduce our chances....

    Agree. This tournament has always been non-sense. Why can't the AFC be more like UEFA and just have all the teams play in a straight qualifiers.

    This is why European teams dominate the Asian teams. More games against better guys. 

    Every UEFA team would beat India while only like 3-4 Asian teams can beat some mid-quality Euro clubs.

    i dont understand why everyone compare UEFA with AFC...

    In europe football is main sport for almost all nations, while in AFC hardly any countries are as passionate for the sport...
    which means if AFC organise a UEFA format like a group where japan, iran, india and brunie will be in one group..

    the top 2 teams would hardly show any interest for the league...
    but see europe... they value every teams
    In AFC, (like world cricket board) elite teams dont value rest of nations
