Yeah, from the 80s to 2000s Bangladesh used to dominate South Asian football. We'd always make it to the finals almost always to lose to India after a well fought match. We were like the Brazil and Argentina of South Asian football.
Nepal and Maldives have overtaken us, and we are losing to them on a regular basis for the last 4-5 years.
India actually saw a remarkable improvement to their side in the last 10 years or so. They have qualified for two consecutive AFC Asia Cups now. Their president didn't mention that India will play on the 2022 World Cup. Someone needs to remind presidents of our sporting bodies that actions speak louder than words.
