I congratulate MB even though they suffered a crushing defeat. This is because of the fact that the whole thing was loaded heavily against them:
- No help from Fed in the form of a better schedule - torturous travel - Fielded in a tough match without any sort of acclimatization - One short in the foreigners department (their own fault though) - lack of preparation time (had to buy winter gear locally in China)
I congratulate them because they did not run away. They were asked to face the firing squad and they did just that. True heroes.
Next year our I-league Champion whoever it is as well as AIFF will be better prepared for ACL Qualification. MB has shown the way, atleast by beating Tampines Rovers.
Kushal- Sunanda r the deadly duo of Indian football!
I heard, just b'cos of South Asian Football tournament , they have done away with the U-22 clause for the I- League teams - and MOST IMPORTANTLY - this would be applicable till the tournament! Post that, it would be revoked!!!!
They can bend it even more wickedly than David Beckham!
What kind of team they brought in IFA Shield when they lost to everyone, including Southern Samity? Or did the weather played a role like this time? Surely they didn't bring their Argentine and Brazil players?

It should put things into perspective - the scoreline specifically!
