India Loses, but Wins Heart
Indian Goal Keeper Subrata Paul's performance was outstanding in Asian Cup
What did we learn about Team India?
Forget The World Cup, For Now This is a sad truth, but those who were hoping to see India challenge for a 2018 World Cup spot will have to realize that it is not going to happen. We are seriously off the pace even at the Asian level, and with training facilities and overall football infrastructure still not up to scratch, we will probably have to wait for well over a decade before we seriously stand a chance to be a part of the showcase event that celebrates the beautiful game. .
