Due to recent expansion of ACL, in West zone 3 new nations received direct slots - Jordan, India & Tajikistan. All 3 of them, Al-Wehdat, Goa & Istiklol, held their opponents to 0-0 draw (against Saudi, Qatar & UAE clubs resp.).
AFC must be happy. Everyone expected these clubs to lose, but they matched their opponents.
Turkmenistan too would have received a direct slot. But the club withdrew (the stand-by nations Lebanon & Syria failed club licensing).
Tomo match is at 8 pm.. just wondering, if Ramadan fasting and hot humid conditions would play to our (Fcgoa) advantage...
So, the west asian team members except for their foreigners will take food only at 6 pm.. They cannot practice with full intensity during morning hours (both due to fasting & hot climate) Then they have to take a lot of food at 6 pm, which means metabolism will going on by 8 pm & they won't be fast & alert like usual. That would make the match competitive...
Wish Fcgoa takes revenge against the UAE team for the 6-0 humiliation of our national team
We generally get overexcited after first match and then perform bad in later games. Most of the time weak teams perform best in first match and then fed away.
I am just saying that let’s not get overexcited and expect too much from FC goa
I know for sure that we will see the Dheeraj making more savee today. He was just outstanding in the previous game! 20 years old and already in the ACL! No wonder Juan is trusting him over Naveen Kumar
