So Qatar team which has about 16-18 players based in Europe thrashed China 4-2 to qualify for U-20 World Cup. Other two teams who made the cut are Uzbekistan and North Korea.
Myanmar gets huge support from public. Even u23 games get huge crowd. I am guessing football is their most popular sport. Not same for us, very difficult to invest when there is no interest or revenue
I think Myanmar took all the advantages afc offered like building turfs,grants for league and helping them host qualifiers to create a thriving football environment.
Well Myanmar always had a strong football quotient. Myanmar and India's Golden period almost coincided. They have a very strong footballing history. Good to see they have once again regained their mettle. And people why they are only criticizing ISL I have not an inch of an idea. ISL is only in its first year. National League and I-league is there since 1995. That's a long time.
If Myanmar can show how to develop Youth teams starting National League only in 2012, I am more than happy for ISL cause this itself shows I-League has failed miserably all these years.
