Indian Football Team
Superb Performance by the S.Korean side with India, If noticed, India has a different game after every first half, so we are getting somewhere with our football with the help of our new coach, Bob Houghton.
The game showed how we lack talent and confidence, which is analized and put into training.
Good Luck Team, it was great having you over in Qatar, and look forward again.
Peter.
played better football than Saudi Arabia.
the Keeper's (S.Paul) performance was excellent,
and well said G
It is time that the second most Populous country in the world to become good in the most Popular game on this earth.
They have done it in cricket, I am sure with the right direction and sporting infrastructure they can be within the top hundred best teams in the world.
@ Expatgeezer,upto a couple of years ago,that number would've been FAR higher than 12 goals mate...a team ranked hundred & forty something in the FIFA rankings losing by a 3 goal margin to a World Cup squad like South Korea is not bad at all so it's all relative & ought to be viewed in perspective,one doesn't go from 0 to 100 instantly...
They are an growing side.We have to appreciate their determination and they have scored as well.
I watched them play against Bahrain last friday and they were worrying the Bahrainis at times.
the coach i.e... but then we have made some strides in the game under his tenure...
What's pathetic is the lackadaisical approach of the Football Federation, AIFF... we have lots of talent at school levels, but mismanagement ensures these players don't rise up.
I have known many good football players back home who were excellent at school but couldn't go on because of lack of facilities.
Having conceeded 12 goals in 3 matches..Yep they are getting somewhere.
