We cant blame it on weather... as pondicherry said its not tht hot outside. I must say even better than Indian condition now. Qatar totally outplayed us..
I agree with @pondicherry ..it's much better now ..june July August n sept are the worst months, it's hot n humid even at night..it's quite manageable now..
I feel we played our hearts out in d 1st half and ran out of 2stroke power in d 2nd half..I think we were left to rue our missed chances in d 1st half...in the post match reviews there was actually a handball by India to a header off a goal kick..so kinda lucky for us.
I think d next time for AFC games we must play friendly only against gulf countries... East Asian countries should be manageable ..AIFF academies r in d right direction but we need to go a notch up to beat gulf teams.
All in all thought the result of the match is a loss..I'm glad to see physically v were not d lesser team..we actually dominated d first half... Colin toal better come up with a solid tactical game to win d next 3 matches..nothing else will do..
I am still in shock from the way we approached in the 2nd half, I never expected this from our boys. <div><br></div><div>I was expecting India to beat this Qatar u19 team to move to the second round, maybe expected too much.</div>
I think India's next game is against Nepal,Nepal will also be not that much easy because despite of nepal taking early lead they had played more than 70 min with 10 men....
@joy123 Nepal is not going to be easy but this India u19 can beat them and Turkmenistan u19. I was expecting us to beat Qatar u19 to go through the next round, which didn't happen, now we have to settle for the 3rd place in Group A.
actually in todays nepal and turkeministan match,line man was raising flag for 2nd goal turkis score,but refree donot see....anyone notice this?. Any ways i dnt have hope from this nepal u19 team..they have just trained for 1 month and this nepal team is very weak in defence.
