India in King’s Cup

India last participated in the King’s Cup in the year 1977 and had finished at a commendable third position, winning three of their five games and losing just once. Malaysia and the B team of South Korea shared the title that year having produced a goalless draw in the final.

This will be the first time in 18 years that India will be playing in a FIFA-recognized tournament, the last being in 2001, the Merdeka Tournament in Kuala Lumpur. It will also mark the competitive debut of Igor Stimac, who was recently appointed the new head coach of the Blue Tigers.

Having named a strong squad including several youngsters, Stimac will be the focal point when the Tigers hit the ground running on 5th June against Curacao. Moreover, India will be all set to seek redemption after a disappointing campaign at the AFC Asian Cup earlier this year.

Everton and Cardiff City Stars are there in the final squad. Hope they are all tired by travel and remain distracted in thailand.

@ ;SiV ..

Leandro Bacuna, Cardiff City is the only player from EPL..

Other one, Cuco Martina (Everton player) is playing for Eredivisie club, Feyenoord on loan..

Most of the Curacao players play for Dutch leagues (mainly Eredivisie clubs). But due to club commitments, they hardly play together.. 

while few of the good players still waiting for Netherlands NT call.

However winning against them will be difficult.. As you said.. hope they will be distracted and we will win the game

I don't want to sound like a pessimist but our chances are really low, would need a miracle to go through. Hoping to see some magic.

Anything less than a 2-0 loss would be nice.

A late Brandon Fernandez freekick to level the scores ?

Nagendra

on paper.. yah.. 2-0 would be ok..

but see what happened in Asian cup.. most of the IFN guys.. talked about India's thrashing against Thailand.. 

It's a knock-out game.. Lets Hope for the best
