Afghanistan is not certain of a spot yet. If Kyrgyzstan beat Bahrain and if Tajikistan beat Uzbekistan, Tajikistan would qualify.
Agree on the need to have played all games simultaneously, but who could be heartless enough to ask a bunch of 15 year olds to throw a game?
ESPN is in English & is an Indian version. Not mutually exclusive those 2. :) If 20,000 people show up in the middle of a monsoon downpour to...
I guess it's a difference of opinion then. I have watched that slow mo replay so many times I don't see how it can be construed as Subrata...
I couldn't find a clip of the first red card and penalty but take my word that it was due to a foul. Debrata the defender put both hands on the...
REAL, You're reading too much into Qatar's loss. I didn't watch the game but from what i have read, they did dominate in both halves (more so in...
The figure I heard was 2,500 which is still pitiable.
And to be fair to him, here he admits it isn't really going to happen however hard we try! http://www.the-aiff.com/pages/news/index.php?N_Id=2596
Ash, Thanks for the links. It's all good news. Surprising that the newer clubs appear to be taking more initiative than the Kolkata giants. I...
Ridiculous. Why speak out about something that hasn't been finalized? And if you do it, have the guts to do it out loud instead of under...
As big a fan as I am of the Indian Arrows, I have to agree with Ash here. These guys are getting sufficient exposure in the I-league and through...
Jonny, These were all U-23 teams? Except for Kuwait Japan? A couple of surprises, Lebanan - Qatar, and Thailand - Pakistan. I would have...
Good move by Churchil Bros. I read somewhere that Pune FC was planning a similar move. If a couple of more clubs do the same, between these and...
The I league is between broadcasters currently. Some games can be caught on a regional channel that you wouldn't have access to. The best website...
So, technically, we could see a Japan vs S. Korea fixture in the 2nd round with one being eliminated. Doesn't seem right. Both teams had sent...
Re: 2012 Asian Olympic Qualifiers age question Do you have a link to the regulations?
This is a great article describing the Indian Arrows (formerly , the AIFF XI). I have strongly believed from the begining that this is a great...
Fair points. I don't think anyone would benefit if he were going to be a 2nd or 3rd choice keeper. That's one of the reasons he's not with the...
But he isn't coming off just one hot tournament, dude. He's had a pretty awesome career so far and he's still young. He had the best record in the...
Oliver Kahn would have made a couple of gaffes if there were 38 shots taken against him in one match. Just saying.
I've been hearing Fela's name quite a bit. Has anyone seen him play? What's the word? Someone posted this list on sports keeda. I'm not sure that...
I did watch two of the games and I do agree with you on your comments above. Technical skills were lacking, and fitness while better than they...
So, now that our participation in the Asian Cup is over, I though I'd take a look at what the future holds. In March 2011, we play the qualifiers...
I actually thought the defense played phenomenally today. There were like 5 impossible clearances off the line. They were lucky too, but every...
Agreed. He was the 2nd best out there for us. Playing the Koreans was always going to be tough for India and not just because of the difference...
