  1. Pakistani(city kids) player soccer…awsum man. This is what really happening here in India. City kids taking interest football rather than cricket.

    By the way i cant see some chinese face pakis exactly like east Indians(us) surprise!!!!!

    1. Pakistani teenage and youth want to play football. I am out of touch with Pakistan Cricket Team from last many years and don’t know what are they doing. BTW I have just seen he last over of Nazir in Hong Kong Super Sixes Final between Paksitan and Hong Kong. 50 runs in 7 balls! Look at the smile and laugh of Shoiab after loosing match to Australia as if he has won! It looks like, it was a booked match. Ridiculous last over by Nazir!

    Agree we lost 9-1…it is just embarrassing n u know what…all Indian football fans from facebook to orkut to Goal.com India are in sheer shock n depression. We thought we would be down by some 2-1 or 2-0 margin but never by such a pathetic margin…t it came as a shock. The last match against Iraq was good(atleast for us) going down 2-0.

    Thing is our main players like Baichung Bhuitia, Sunil chetri, Pradeep etc were out with injuries and some 2nd string players were filled. But dont know how they conceeded so much of aaloos…just dissapointing.

    I think we south asians should ignore coaches from Europe as they play style of long ball passes . Instead hire coach from South America or Japan, korea etc .

    By the way if India plays pak team am 100% sure pak would be drubbed by at least 5 or 4 -0 at least. Never mind…this is fact, India defeat teams like Vietnaam, Kyrgistan, Combodia, Tajikistan etc by at least 3 to 4 0 margin…so guess pak is a way behind these teams and would be drubbed by India.

  3. By the way we have our junior team, under 23 against mighty Japan today in Asiad. Hope Indian under 23 trounce thos japs.

    N hope India(senior) will do best against UAE on 18th.

    Good news is that Michael Chopra, former Sundarland and current Cardiff city striker may play for India in ASIA cup in January.

  4. wang do you know what is the age of bhaichung bhutia’s real age?
    he played in 1992 indian u-16 and at that time he was more then 19 years old. india should leave him out now for good of indidan football.

  5. @Faisal
    19???? He started playing for India from 1996 when he was just 16 man. Wat ru talking. He is still the same…his skill, space , striking etc..no Indian can match. The team spirit rise up wenever he is on field. I ve been seeing him playing since 2001, marvelous striker, playmaker etc. We recently saw him play against Thailand for just 20 minutues and the game changed its course. Believe me he is an awsum player. He is 34-35 now, still extraordinary!

    Ah…Pak traouncing India…never …i guess. Last SAFF cup was won by India under 23 beating Maldives senior team which is 10 times ahead than Pak team.

    1. Please shut up. Pakistan have beat India several times. In the SAFF Cup in Bangladesh several years ago. In the Pak-India Series in Pakistan, where we beat you 3-0 in the final match. And so on. So don’t talk sh*t.

    1. And I just told you above that Pakistan has beaten India several times before at various locations. And we can beat you again if Akhtar Sahib is not coaching.

  6. @Gauhar,
    Bakr Id Mubarak! I luv muttons…have been to Jama Masjid nemerous times for all those swadish kababs and Biryanis.

    India played asiad with under 21..only two players above 21. Max of them beein in late teens(18-19) and some 20-21 etc. Overall performance was good. But atlast Japanese are superior!

  7. very strange still wrangling who is superior, Pakistan or India.the truth is neither.the way we play football any English club will lick us like men playing boys.Wherewe stand in sport (mind you cricket is not sport in real sense). Asian Games2010,look at the result. judgefor your selfwhere we stand ?
