Shamefully,.. First time in history of Indian football, shamefully.. I am quiting Indian football, bye bye guys... India will never become a footballing nation, our DNA is not made to play football, its made to become engineers and doctors.
I dont know why people are suddenly joking about team's budget with qualifying to next round. Havent we already established that passion > money? When top money spending team like EB have not won any league in past 14 years why its surprise that CFC didnt qualify with better budget? atleast someone like Novy should refrain from these childish arguments. ISL fanboys do those along with few idiotic I league fanatics.
Besides lets look at Indian teams performance in AFC since 2013( not taking prior records since we used to have Iraqi and Kuwait clubs with us which were difficult to handle, so hats off to Indian clubs who went through next round but at the same time there were clubs who couldnt get single point so no blames either)
since 2013 this format was changed and two Indian teams were drafted with SAFF and East asian teams but in different groups

bold indicates teams those went through next round
now if you see CFC did get double digit points which is on par with average points scored by teams which went though next rounds(11.8) , fact is from 2013 to 2016 qualifying was relatively easy still many teams struggled. We had two Indian teams in two groups and among those top two teams could go through which doesnt happen now. 2017 and 2018 even BFC struggled with new format although they went through somehow.
I am not saying CFC didnt qualify because of format but this format is quite tough plus with their abysmal performance in current season I would say they did decent job. What we are conveniently ignoring is other teams are catching up at club level and Indians dont have decent bench strength which is actually hampering their performance. While BFC successfully tackled league matches/ AFC matches by fielding 2nd string side others havent coped up with that. Look at CFC , no striker barring Jeje. Dhanpal ganesh was out, entire season was lost. no proper back up for RB/LB positions. Here our players sit idle for 5 months and we still wonder why we dont have good Indians playing in team. remove 1/2 extra foreigner and everyone looks pathetic.
enough of this bullshit ISL vs I league drama, get to the real issues.
