I'm sure the Fatorda still remembers Fandje Toure, lighting up the U-17 World Cup with two brilliant goals and an assist for Guinea across three group games.
What a campaign!

@coachprad@mauryamondal Great point.
Just throwing an idea into the mix, how about youth players go into a central pool (+ fixed no of retentions) based on their performances in the youth leagues? Wouldnโt that create more incentive for clubs to produce better players at the youth level?
@_harshtewari_ National team players assemble for less than 30 days a year, thereโs no time for โattractive football'
International football is about results!
Constantine nearly took India to the first ever knockouts in 2019 Asian Cup, Stimac promised style, delivered none.
Time to wake up!
- India were the 2nd lowest ranked team in the competition๐ฒ
- India had never beaten Oman in the previous 10 clashesโ๏ธ
We now have a medal at the #CAFANationsCup DEBUT without scoring a single goal from open-play๐ฅ
Football, BLOODY HELL! ๐

@MarcusMergulhao It was a heck of a night at Fatorda in 2017!
- India conceded their fastest goal in Asian Cup qualifiers (19 secs)
- Stephen Constantineโs last competitive game at home
- The final time of the deadly duo of Chhetri & Jeje both finding the net in a competitive home game !
Congratulations to @NEUtdFC as they become the first side since East Bengal in 1990-1991 to win back-to-back #DurandCup titles
Their tally of 6 goals in the final was last matched by Somerset Light Infantry in 1896!
Simply Ruthless ๐ฅ

1. No Indian coach this century has lasted beyond 2 years, the clock always ticks out. Khalid Bhai now takes charge. Can he break the jinx?
2. He's backed players who suit his gritty style, not everyoneโs favourite.
Interesting times.
