I thought it was offside too. Aussies look very strong and I also hope India can win a game or two, since I want to see them in the World Cup in the not-too-distant future
I think the Indian team performed well, sure it was a loss, but I liked the defence they played, the attacking wasnt very good and I believe its due to the long ball tactic that India uses. Subrata Pal (Indian goal keeper) was brilliant as always!
I personally would say, if India can play quality opponents like Australia more often, they can really improve!
I think you didn't see the whole match. If it were not for the Indian Goalkeeper (Subrata).... The scoreline would have been 8-0 or so. He was just superb and made a couple of very good saves
India's ranking 142 where Aussie's rank 26 in the world of football.
Almost after 20 years we have got the chance to play on the Asia cup.
I'm pleased with our 2nd half performance, and I can see new dawn of indian football if we can perform like that consistently, the scoreline should 3-1 for Aussie's. I believe as Blatter said Chaina and India are the sleeping giants of Asian football. When a child born, from the 1st day child can't run, first they start walking, then.... Just keep your believe and support your nation.
I don't think nether India or Australia played well at all. India needs a lot to learn! They don't know how to do line defence and it needs a coach to take care of the defence part. It just takes alot to be good team. The top team (even top 100 teams) have well balance national academy teams (u15, u16, you 17....). Then they need a professional league. Experience also is important for national teams. Australia haven't been consistent since would cup, I think they gonna' do fine in asian cup
Some reaaaaaally comprehensive highlights here! India didn't do too badly I thought. More experience will elevate their game and they seem to already have a really good goalkeeper
