2. USA 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
3. Portugal 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
4. Latvija 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
5. India 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
6. Honduras 0 0 0 0 0-0 0

Next round:
Honduras - India
Latvija - Portugal
USA - Nederland

To Talk about other teams, does it makes sense to reach finals.....

As it is Poland totally dominates ...:)

Only the best 2 qualify directly, the 6 best number 3's in the groups will also go through to the next stage.

India's chance to make it to the 3rd place are very, very small ( less then a chance of 1%, I guess)

Yes i agree with you but games would be interesting ones especially with our counter attacks...

A historical game against Cyprus ; our biggest win ever !

truly a gr8 win.....and against a team 15 ranks higher

Awesome win man!!!!! Keep it up..

I invite you all to see the match Latvija-India from last Saturday.
This is probably the best game India ever played !

Next week we will play China in a friendly, I'll try to select a young squad (22 years and younger) and will probably rest the players who are on two yellow cards. Would be a shame to have them miss the return match against Latvija in 2 weeks....
As you may know, players who played on Saturday in a NT match receive a (small) bonus in training if they played on the same position (GK, DEF, MID, ATT) with their club-team.

This week I'll post the 11 players that will appear in the China-match in this topic.

The U-22 squad that will face China next Saturday

GK Roberto Udayan 18
GK Sandip Shirvaikar 21

DEF Bhuvan Devang 19
DEF Tushar Singri 19
DEF Surjit Vidvan 20
DEF Abdul Mahankali 20
DEF Sylvester Gidh 21
DEF Lanel Pavani 21
DEF Sunder Sarath 22
DEF Jagadish Nilay 22

MID Alvito Visalakshi 20
MID Lanel Mandhatri 21
MID Sylvester Akash 22
MID Harinder Prisha 22

ATT Kalyan Rachna 22
ATT Hardip Savdeep 22
ATT Mahesh Sarasvat 22
ATT Harinder Yeramilli 20
ATT Lolendra Tungesh 20

As you can see we lack some talented midfielders, hopefully it changes soon.
I discovered a big talent was fired by his manager :
Arijith Diwan, age: 18
value: 5 087 500 Rs., wage: 70 000 Rs.
club: ManuBoys, country: India
very good form, tragic tactical discipline


unsatisfactory stamina, hopeless keeper
adequate pace, hopeless defender
very good technique, excellent playmaker
average passing, unsatisfactory striker

He came out of the academy of Manu Boys (who received a nice amount for him), I don't know why the owner (Ilvezz) fired him.
I'm trying to get through to the admins to get him back, but I fear we've lost him...

Holy shit!!!!!!
This is really saad!!!!

He was a talent in the making.. I had a lot of hope from him... I really hope tat we can get him back...

Great work by De Generaal.
India is on all time high ranking of 51.

yh true. I have seen India play this season and well i would say that India has improved more, than the first time i seen them play ;)

you can get him, just call him up, well thats if it is not too late.

The season is coming to an end, for the remaining matches India is playing Albania (Shiqperia) , Vietnam and Morocco (Al Maghrib).
All games are probably played with an U22 squad.

Next season, if re-elected, I'm planning the participation of India in a Mini World Cup, for countries that didn't qualify for the final round.
This way I hope to avoid the big losses against the giant countries and maybe cause an upset (or 2 ;))

Sounds good,both the mini world cup and your re-election.
