Some more clear picture of what happened at the end of the game: http://goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=429415 Well what has happened has happened, it is a shame and hopefully the AIFF will appeal to AFC abt this. This will add to the revenge against Lebanon. I really think we can win it, but ...

What a heartbreak, Mahindra got 3-3 result away in Lebanon, but on away goals they lost to Al Nejmeh after the 1-2 loss in Delhi first leg match. In 5 minutes injury time a penalty was given against Sandip Nandy for a foul. http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=426271 http://www.ptinews.c...

Thankfully the players are to be released. I am sure the players themselves want to play in Dubai. Speaking of the Lebanon game, how do you think our boys will go?? Al Nejmeh beat Mahindra this week in Delhi, and many of these players will face India, just like Mahindra used many India players. Can ...

Great news, India under-15 team finishing 3 wins out of three, including beating superclubs from Germany VFB Stuttgart and 1860 Munich. This is really amazing considering lack of grassroots in india but the main thing is to develop these boys into national team players. How it would be great for the...

Watching the Nehru cup was great, after being away from India for long it felt good. And at least we can see the real talent of indian players, this live streaming is amazing. Mahindra looking good, Manjit looks impressive but cannot finish goals. Steven Dias on fire, his crosses are much higher sta...

Agree, they must look at bringing Indian players to starting positions. There is no doubt many of the foreigners are better than locals especially in the frontline and to be honest it will help Indian players develop, especially defenders, how to cope with these players. Maybe we are seing the resul...

Arun, as much as I also want to see him, I doubt that Izumi Arata will start the match and even come on as a sub before a player like Manjit Singh...I cant understand why Mahindra are using Pradeep as a central defender, unless they have many injuries. He is a good midfielder. Mahindra have some goo...

Correct, I think he is making a point and he will release the players. The players themselves will not want to be left out.

I think India has a really good chance to win these games and if they do then it will be a huge story for the fans, corporates, new league, etc

Jay, nice to hear Pradeep is getting the reward...He deserves it and hopefully in the future there will be no need for these rewards, just that the AIFF will introduce decent match payments or even salaries, to be fair to all. About Armando Colaco, he has to see the big picture and realise that foot...
