a very expected result..this is by far the weakest Maldivian team I have seen-physically and technically..no wonder Bhutan have scored 4 goals against them in last 2 games..Bangladeshis were piss poor this time and Maldives managed to beat them only after 90 mins..Ashfaq has no more than a year left in him..this Afghan team is marginally better than the previous one because all players are Europe based this time..primary reason why Amiri, etc have taken an early retirement..Had India come in with a good defense then I wud have felt very confident but our own problem is that entire team has not played with each other ever..no established combinations at any position plus players are really tired..winning this SAFF wud be a good achievement
Norllah Amiri, Abasin Alikhil, Sayed Hashimi, Mustafa Hadid, Massi Saighani, Kanishka Taher were rested, among which only Hadid and Hashimi were sent in in the second half.
Afghanistan are physically awesome.....
Maldives defense is very poor we can put 2-3 If Robin-SC-ZUala start...... but really doubt whether our defense can handle this Afghanistan team ? specially there wingers
