And this Afghanistan team had 7 players missing apparently... If I have done the math correctly in my head we have still a decent chance where we can advance to the next round: Assuming Qatar beats Kuwait tonight and wins the other matches against us and Afghanistan as expected and Kuwait wins their...

All in all it was a good performance. I even would say we overperformed going 0-0 into halftime considering the class difference and the amount of corners Australia had. A loss with a small goal difference is what we wanted at least. Well done boys. In the other match of the group we had 0:0 between...

Looks like Mr. president has another brilliant idea. ;) "FIFA World Cup In India? AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey Proposes Plan To Co-Host 2034 Football Showpiece:" https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/fifa-world-cup-2034-india-should-try-to-co-host-event-with-saudi-arabia-all-india-football-...

I would love to see PIOs in the national team but without allowing OCI Cardholders to represent India, I highly doubt that anyone will give up his current passport,since that would create further problems in regards to playing football in the UK. There was an article about this two months ago in the...

Just came across probably one of the most informative interviews concerning the actual behind-the-scenes ongoings and workings on Indian Football from a data analyst perspective. This interview with Joy Gabriel, Head of Analysis of the Indian Men National Team and FC Goa, touches on so many differen...

A loss with 1 goal difference against Qatar at home would be actually a decent result I think. A draw would be really great and a win obviously a fairy tale start for the WCQ campaign.

One hour till kickoff!

India just won in Kuwait 1-0!

Huge win! A draw in Kuwait would have been already a great start for the WCQ campaign but this is fantastic.

In the other game in our group Qatar won 8—1 against Afghanistan.

I agree, it is not an easy group and advancing to the third round is not a sure thing. On the other hand, considering that we had to play the first round usually in the past, it is a great development to be already seeded for the second round and that even within the second pot. If the team is able ...

Gold by Neeraj & a medal in Men's Hockey after 41 years made this Olympics very special, not even counting that this was the most succesfull in terms of medals. Also Aditi's and the performance of the women's hockey team were outstanding. Congrats to Team India! :D Next target: India qualifying ...

Semifinal!!

Sindhu on fire!! Leading 8-3 in the 2nd set!

Guys, is anyone following the great development of our U15 boys (who will play in the WC 2017)? Since german Nicolai Adam have became the coach there are many positive signs that the future could be bright. In the last weeks they were in Germany for an exposure trip. They played many matches against...

Our 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification starts next month. The draw gave us Nepal (WR #186) in the first round, which was a "medium-good" team in the pool of the 12 teams, which have to play in the first round. But no matter what happens, we have to beat a team like Nepal. The first leg at h...

Guess who's back. It looks like that our new coach will be our former coach Stephen Constantine. With him the nationalteam reached the 109th rank in the FIFA ranking back in 2003. For comparison: the actual ranking is the worst-ever FIFA ranking of 171. :puke: His last stint was Rwanda. They reached...
