india VS T&T game was not as bad as the scoreline.. too many mistakes but india was able to put some decent amount of passes together. colcao used raju's long throws.. jeje is also good with the ball.. samir moved up from right back postion to join the attack many times
biggest problem is that our team's forwards lacking size, strength. cannot make use of crosses and corner kicks no matter how accurate the deliveries by climax, mehtab, steven are.. would be great if players like Robin(eb), manandeep (arrows) with their size develop into better players in the next few years

they played well man ...i enjoyed seeing them play . they tried to control the game , but definitely were less skillful than trinidadians.
“We had a discussion with the general secretary of the AIFF (Kushal Das) and that was when the match was cancelled,” explained Colaco.
He went on to refute the theories of him being having taken a unilateral decision to not play the international friendly as the entire staff and squad backed him up.
“The entire staff, including the doctor, and the players wrote a letter and signed agreeing that they were not in the right state to play a match,” he rebuffed the rumuors.
Seven Players Were Stacked Up In A Single Room
It is reliably learnt that Team India had to wait outside the Bridgetown airport for close to two hours with no representative from the organizers, One+ present to receive. Thereafter the team reached the hotel after arranging their own commute.
The arrangements made were so shambolic that at least seven players were stacked up in a single room while there was no buffet laid out for the squad. The meal provided was meagre following which the team shifted to another hotel all by themselves after having travelled for close to 50 hours.
I always believed there must have been a strong reason for which Armando took this decision. Pride always comes 1st. Hats off to you Mr. Colaco! <!-- s:bow-yellow: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bow/yellow.gif" alt=":bow-yellow:" title="Yellow" /><!-- s:bow-yellow: -->
