Today the first match of the World Cup qualification against Chili.
In my eyes Chili has the best team of the group, so its all about keeping a low score.
Not that I'm playing all defense offcourse, but I'm looking for some possibilities in the counterattack.
With Chili U21 having a new manager, its very difficult to predict how they will play.

My prediction :
India U21 - Chili U21 1-4

congrats


your team stood up greatly :)

nice defense set, and CA tactic...

good luck!

Chili was a bit too strong but my guys really had a fight.
Shame about the injury of Srikumar: 25 days :(

Ireland U21 - India U21 tomorrow
very crucial

can India win it wiith injury to best irish GK injured

I don't expect us to win, but I wouldn't be surprised if we did win.
If u see our match against Malaysia, we won 3:0. Ireland however only managed a 1:1 result against a 10 man Malaysia.
So u never know. Just hope for the best.

Our best winger is suspended....alas.

Ireland doesn't have a good second line keeper so I think we have a chance

Well he had a rating of 50% in his last match which is pretty good.

he is very week compared to the best irish keeper(70%)
or even the indian keeper

Narrow escape !

Ireland was very dangerous and our defense did let their attackers come too close every time they attacked. The goalie appeared to have Irish blood or he had been to a pub with their supporters, I have no other explanation for the second goal.

But lucky we have a supersub !!!

Lucky escape for who??? Ireland or us!!

we were like all over them after we went down to 10 men and they scored their 3rd... it cud easily have been 3-4 in our favour....

and yes we do have a super-sub!!! and also a great manager to make that substitution when he did....

I watched the match yesterday
but left after half time seeing India go down by 2 goals
of which second one was a complete fluke

I wish the red card had come sooner.
I don't think that the first 2 Irish goals were flukes, I think it was down to bad goalkeeping.

second one looked fluke because of distance
