And again De Generaal was right.

The tactics I chose were not the best.....the defenders were put too much towards our own goal and the Suomi strikers had too much time on their hands. That is something that wont happen next time.
But when you look at the overall ratings, 7-0 does justice.

Also I think are forwards were not playing deep enough.As soon as they got the ball they had to dribble pass an incredible 4 defenders and 2 def-mids which was always impossible.Their only chance would've been if they were playing in line with their defenders and another mid was near the half line to give some through balls.

Today was the rematch.

Suomi did outplay us again, no surprise there. When we scored 1-3 in the 70th (?) minute I was cheering but 4 goals in the last 10 minutes made the score painful again.

I tried to take Hoodibaba's advice on Rachna, but the defenders were always faster than he was. The gad between India and Suomi is just huge. We have to accept that. At least we scored and had a major chance on a second goal. That is something.

I think this was a better game than the first leg.
3 or 4 Finnish goals from distance, nothing you can do about that.
Good game !
