As of the group B, the scenario was not that dramatic. Yet, team India
can be titled “a troublemaker” for making a sensational victory over
Belarus (1:0), but that did not help them to get out of the group.
During their third match against Latvia, they also got one goal for
(worth noticing that it was scored by Sanjeev Stalin), however, they
conceded four from Latvia. A young Indian team consisting of players
born in 2000 and 2001 and coached by a German expert Nicolai Adam,
conceded twelve goals in total (including eight from Russia) and did not
make it to the quarterfinal. This means that Latvia will take part in
it – not India or disappointing Belarus. Thus, a serious test awaits the
squad led by Aleksandrs Basovs – team Greece under the guidance of
Ioaannis Gkoumas, one the winners of the 2004 UEFA EURO. The Greeks got
so much motivated after their first loss to Tajikistan that they managed
to win the following two matches with 8-0 in total. But even with such
impressive goal scoring results Greece is still behind Russia that
finished the group stage with three wins out of three and an outstanding
12-0 goal difference. It’s interesting that the team of Mikhail
Galaktionov got chances to score from a penalty spot in each of the
games against India, Latvia and Belarus (two times in each of the first
matches), but managed to score three times of five only.
Actually I even posted a link on this guy playing for Pune FC under 17 four years back from Pune FC official website
Funny how these guys don't age And shame on our AIFF for allowing such players in the team Even if we don't win with players of correct age we could groom them for future,would have been of good experience for them
But these overage players are probably destined to become another Dika,Nirmal Chhetri etc
