I hope The Delhi Fans, put out a Banner saying " Best Hollywood acting Performance - Al Hammadi" or something on those lines. I have seen d fanatical support Delhi fan have during d Nehru cup, Guys if this happens i am sure our boys will be motivated. We have to cheer India on every attack n ever pass, we have to make our home advantage county physiologically.
UAE Coach Katanec mentioned UAE is 100% better then us, India Never did i feel they r 100% better...we have to beat them 3-0 till full time..i am sure in d decider extra time the crowd support and teh coach motivation will give india teh edge to win..

Not too sure about the banner. But, yes, I got my ticket today. Will go out there tomorrow and scream my lungs out. <!-- s:angry-screaming: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/angry/screaming.gif" alt=":angry-screaming:" title="Screaming" /><!-- s:angry-screaming: -->
Atleast a 2-0 loss in first leg would have given us hopes but this is too much. <!-- s:confusion-shrug: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/confusion/shrug.gif" alt=":confusion-shrug:" title="Shrug" /><!-- s:confusion-shrug: -->
Winning 4-0 is next to impossible,maybe 3-0 and then ET/penalties that's possible but only if Indian defense is as strong as China wall and upfront Sunil and Jeje are 100% sharp. <!-- s:think: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eusa/think.gif" alt=":think:" title="Think" /><!-- s:think: -->
After watching the replays again and again I feel our players are quite foolish to give away those fouls,they have really let down India when we needed them the most. <!-- s:handgestures-thumbdown: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/handgestures/thumbdown.gif" alt=":handgestures-thumbdown:" title="Thumb Down" /><!-- s:handgestures-thumbdown: -->
Tomorrow if we lose the tie then we won't be playing top Asian nations until 2015 Asia Cup and that too only if we win AFC Challenge Cup's or else no officials match's against top opponents until 2018 WC Qualifiers. <!-- s:violence-smack: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/violence/smack.gif" alt=":violence-smack:" title="Smack" /><!-- s:violence-smack: -->
Also AFC format sucks,don't know which idiot decides these.It is a real pain for smaller teams. <!-- s:angry-screaming: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/angry/screaming.gif" alt=":angry-screaming:" title="Screaming" /><!-- s:angry-screaming: -->

Unfortunate. But AIFF can really really do something about Indian football during the period when we have no important international matches.
Concentrate on domestic structure[/*:m]
Organise international friendlies on fifa match days[/*:m]
During pre-season in europe, try to lure good european clubs to india. this will get easier next season as rovers will have already visited, and liverpool are intent on coming.[/*:m]
Improve the INFRASTRUCTURE[/*:m][/list:u]
But, as we all know, the AIFF will just sit on their asses and do nothing.
But, hey, let's not give up on our national team, I think they can give UAE a run for their money.
Armando might be a good coach but i can't get over his obsession for Dempo players...now that he has decide to play nabi in left back and clifford maranda in left half. Why cant he give chance to other talented players like lalkamal, robert,baldeep etc. Climax is neither skillful nor fast, atleast i have not seen him play good football. Lal kamal i know is skillful and sharp too. Why not play a attacking formation and have some surprises rather than sticking to the usual 442.

Armando has barely started his coaching stint for the national team & its bit too early to comment on his strategy & formation. In my opinion he has done a good job with the squad. As for selecting members of his own club in the final eleven, i fully agree with him as those players are in a better situation to understand his strategies than the others.
Accoridng to the All India Football Federation, the match tickets have been sold out and the 20.000 seats venue will be fully packed tomorrow.
Ambedkar Stadium is the home of I-League team Indian Arrows. The stadium is named in honour of B. R. Ambedkar, the famous dalit leader and chairman of the Indian constituent assembly.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if 3/4th the stadium is filled.
Good to see refs are from South Asian countries and not Gulf countries.
Can't wait to see the match tomorrow, and am hoping, if not for a turn over, but at least a decent performance by India..
