Yes..Now I am expecting another drubbing...but again its better to be drubbed against good opponents rather than playing weak team as we had been doing during the Bob era...We havent improved a bit even on the Asian scale..I am really disappointed to say the least <!-- s:angry-screaming: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/angry/screaming.gif" alt=":angry-screaming:" title="Screaming" /><!-- s:angry-screaming: -->
Bob era and Savio era all look same...Even Bob gave chances to youngster initially, like Savio...Only that Savio comes cheaper!!! Tactics wise all are same....
at the end, all I can say is we play ridiculous football...now only play saff and be happy <!-- s:angry-cussing: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/angry/cussing.gif" alt=":angry-cussing:" title="Cussing" /><!-- s:angry-cussing: -->

Well seriously we were lucky to defeat Afghanistan in final If I'm not wrong.Anway just hope we lose by smaller margin in this match.
The only reason Azerbaijan is behind Oman is because Azerbaijan cant play in UEFA. They lose all the time in UEFA competitions but if you put them in AFC they are a top 5 team easily.
Their goalkeeper has excellent reflexes and their mid field is brilliant. But their defense is shabby, but against India it might be sufficient. And for their forwards, they are good in creating chances, it is just a matter of fact that some of them would go in.

Hence my verdict, another thrashing 5-0.
Im more of a 7-0 or 7-1 person. We are coming off losing 5-1 to Oman, a team who I bet the players thought was going to be easy. And I remember watching Azerbaijan lose to Russia 3-1!!! If they can only lose to Russia 3-1 then imagine what playing India will be like!

Physically they look fitter and stronger than Omanis. <!-- s:sad-suicidepills: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad/suicidepills.gif" alt=":sad-suicidepills:" title="Suicide Pills" /><!-- s:sad-suicidepills: -->
