A very good win for the U17 team against Metz U17 team in France. Komal and Abhijit with the goals. It is worth noting that Metz have one of the best youth academies in France and regularly churn out players who go on to play for bigger clubs.
By the way what is the status of the 5 players supposed to be training at FC Metz? Last news (a month back) was that Chennaiyin FC signed them, but did they go to France or are they still in India? If the training is still not started when will it start?
I am suspicious when things don't add up. We have seen how India fared against Malaysia, USA and Tanzania. S. Korea was a second string side so we discount that result for the argument's sake. And then suddenly they win 2-0 against one of the better academy sides in Europe!
What is the explanation? How does this Indian team suck against national teams of fuddu countries but wins big against academies of France and Germany? One straightforward reason could be that these academies are not playing their best squad.

@gaffertape - Is there a reason for the LOL?
