we shud remember that lebanon beat us in last WCQ in 2007.more than the rankings it is how the team fares on a particular day.if you look at famous matches this week, high rank teams were beaten by their opponents..qatar,argentina,brazil,colombia...
looks like uae is also weak as our prev opp qatar......hope they underestimate us and we got to stay grounded and perform.....yesterday you guys made us dream of world cup...let us live the dream for as much time as possible... <!-- s:pray: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eusa/pray.gif" alt=":pray:" title="Pray" /><!-- s:pray: -->
They are obviously underestimating India. I read an article in their newspaper where they are already planning how they would celebrate in 2013 when they qualify for WC. Bets are being taken about the margin of victory againt india 0-4,4-7 or 7+ . And look at arrogance of back heel penalty.
The only sane person looking is their coach who is little worried. And then tey also fear that in their "home' match more indian can turn up and UAE could come under pressure at their own ground. * I hope that happens *

It is reported that Sushil Singh, our hero (!), might be a doubtful starter in the away leg of the WC Qualifier match. He got a head injury that has led to 3 stitches in his head. Steven Dias is also injured which would mean Lalrindika may get a go ahead in the match
