Mighty indians? May be they are a shade better than us but certainly nowhere near even the Asian standard. This is the latest Fifa rankings: Afghanistan:139, India: 145, Maldives:153, Bangladesh:158, Pakistan: 167, Nepal: 170. Nothing much to choose between the teams really. We recently beat Nepal 2-0 in Kathmandu. And We have a better head to head record with Pakistan. It will be hard for sure but we have a good chance of progressing.
With vision 2022 in mind, this is a very important tournament for us. BFF is in a competent hand I think and with Salauddin in charge we could become one of the better teams in Asia by 2022.
