Well hopefully by 2014 AFC U19 qualifying we will have more players to add to the previous u16 batch. Also better preparation. These current u16 guys will form the core most likely of the India team for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers.
After watching Aussie-Thai game I can say that most our boys look smaller than een Thailand..no ways are we going to beat physically stronger nations!!

These boys look fine. I dont get it. Wolverhampton Wanderers were one of the most physical teams in the Prem last season and they got relegated. Stoke City is the most physical and yet they dont get close to top 6.

Tehran: The political tensions at home might have hindered Syrians’
preparation but coach Muhannad Alfakeer is adamant that there is no
dearth of commitment from his players as Syria prepare to take on Group D
giants China on Sunday in the AFC U-16 Championship.
Alongside these two sides, the other countries in Group D are 2010
runners-up Uzbekistan and India. Syria were ousted from the 2010 edition
with a bitter late goal from Uzbekistan’s Timur Kakhimov in the
quarter-finals.
“The reality is almost nobody knows what happened after the 2010
competition so at this level you always have to be positive and we are
doing the same despite not having an ideal preparation,” Alfakeer said.
“We had our camp in Damascus and played some friendlies against club
sides of Jordan and Oman but we did not manage to play the international
friendlies mainly because of the unrest in the country,” added
Alfakeer.
Uzbekistan coach Dilshod Nuraliev who saw his side succumbed to a 2-0
defeat at the hands of eventual champions DPR Korea in 2010 in
Uzbekistan believes that the preparation went ideal and the players are
geared up for the tournament to start.
“We had an ideal preparation and played some international
tournaments and one thing I am for sure in this tournament is whoever
remain mentally strong and perform good would win it,” said Dilshod
stressing that the participating countries are on par with each other.
China coach Su Maozhen highlighted the need of good opening to
maintain the psychological level of the players at this tender age. “We
must step in from our first match against Syria to achieve our target of
winning the title or at least book a place in the FIFA U-17 World Cup,”
he said.
India coach Toal Colm Joseph stressed the importance of participating
at this level for his team. “It’s been two times in four years we are
participating in the competitions and I am sure this would do loads of
good for the football of India,” he said.
“We are talking about best 16 countries of Asia in this competition
so it won’t be easy at all but I am hoping that the boys progress with
each succeeding match,” he added. India will take on Uzbekistan on
Sunday.

So while Uzbekistan were playing in the U17 World Cup, we were playing in the SAFF U16 Cup... and losing to Pakistan.
