This just assumes that Long ball game is always inferior to tiki-taka....if that was so why all teams dont play that? I dont think its that simple....players who are good in long ball, may turn out to be very bad in passing football

Not saying that it is inferior or anything, its just that the passing style would suit our players' physique better. Playing the long ball can work with Southeast asian sides who are similar to us in physique but it will generally not work against the middle eastern and central asian teams.

Someone has ignored England's last few matches.
Bro your American,just forget U.K I know you were born there but please remember America got good Economy and land consider yourself as American stop taking England's side.
Tehran: The Tuesday’s match between Syria and India became the first match of the AFC U-16 Championship 2012 which failed to produce a goal as they played a dour 0-0 draw in their second match of Group D.
The Syrians created several second half chances but wayward finishing added by a brilliant Indian defensive show denied their first win in the tournament. On the other hand, the Indians registered their first point of the tournament after succumbing to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Uzbekistan on Sunday.
Syria have bagged two points from two matches following their come-from-behind draw against China who will take on Uzbekistan later today at the Rah Ahan Stadium. With a point against India, the Syrians will decide their fate by themselves as a win over Uzbekistan would be enough for them to progress to the quarter-finals.
The Indians resorted on defensive play and long-ball counter-attack throughout while the Syrians tried to break the Indian defence without avail.
It was the South Asian side who started brightly and they could have taken the lead had captain Khiangte Lalramzauva’s freekick not rattled the side bar in the 6th minute.
Ahmad Ashqar’s freekick in the 34th minute did not trouble Indian goalie Supratim Bhattacharjee while Abdulatef Salkeni, who was later substituted, missed a closed range header in the 39th minute.
India relied on long ball hoping that Sunday’s hero Uttam Rai could sneak in a goal or two but Rai was surrounded by a couple of lanky Syrian defenders who never gave him space to run and get the ball.
Syria upped the tempo of the match in the second half and created some chances of their own but wayward finishing did not help their cause.
On the other side of the field, Rai got the chance of the match in a counter-attack with Syrian goalkeeper Khaled Ibrahim well beaten but as he took time to decide, a Syrian defender raced in and kicked the ball out for corner.
The Syrians had a couple of good chances in the later part of the match to walk away with all three points but once again the Indian showed a valiant defensive skill to share the spoils. The Indians are also not mathematically out of the tournament with China and Uzbekistan playing later.

Attack and Midfield was almost non existent,except Alen nobody really touched the ball.
What is with you and England... and Australia! People need to get there facts right! Look at Harry Redkapp... did he longball it! NO! Look at David Moyes... did he long ball it... NO! Yes long balls were created by the English but that style does not exist anymore in England. Yes it is not all passing on the ground (which if they was the magic key, then we would see everyteam doing it) but these are fucking 16 year olds. Colm Toal is the best man we got for this lot. Teaches them to be professionals, how to get the basics... that is what U16 football is about. Look at what he has done for us sence he came, most of the up and coming youth were scouted and trained under Toal, who knows where we would be without him.

Long ball is easyer to play/adapt than tiki taka/passing game.
