We desperately need a team higher than us in ranking & which is close to the US ( so that players get jet lagged), whose main team players are foreign based ( so that they won't come)
If the NT needs some actual match to test their mettle or strategy, MSC or even a Pathachakra from CFL would be good. These are in match practice, have a 3 foreigners and won't affect the rankings anywhich ways .
Let me requote them: "The "bigger picture" involves going to the Asian Cup in 2019 and making the ISL look like the savior of Indian football while we spread propaganda about India's undefeated streak"
BTW, went to an media mixer a week ago and met two Indians who have a passing interest in Indian football. I wanted to shout at them with the delusion they bought. I tried to explain how India cheated the FIFA ranking system and they were like "How is that cheating it? That is smart" and I said, how? India isn't 97 ranked really, yet people will believe it and then act surprised when we lose to a 140 ranked nation or something."

This will only continue the stupidity.
