The Indian team has been practicing seriously for the last couple of months. They have BAICHUNG BHUTIA (remember that name because you will hear it from time to time). They recently won a six nation tournament in Vietnam. They defeated Uzbekistan 2-0 in a friendly. The Uzbek's are one the best in ASIA.

Compared to that, Kottan (our coach) seems to be the only BFF official (he is employed by BFF) who even cared to get the team together. However, his repeated request to hand the players over to him and get some warm-up matches lined up were IGNORED by BFF and the CLUBS. He finally got the team only 15 days ago and only played one friendly match (Against the number three team in Thailand). I don't blame the players and by the way, we lost to teams like Vietnam 4-0 only few months ago so losing 0-3 to an emerging team like India is nothing. They care enough about their own country, we don't.
