World Cup Qualifier: What Went Wrong For India Against Kuwait (Analysis)
FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: On a night when India’s greatest servant was supposed to get his flowers, the Indian team hardly stepped up to the occasion. So the question arises, what went wrong on Sunil Chhetri’s big night? Was it the fact that there was no service from the midfield and the team was forced to rely on long balls against a team that had taller players?
Or did Igor Stimac get it wrong, the Croatian was forced to make a double substitution after the first half which also saw Rahim Ali come on and get two clear chances which he failed to convert. It may be both or maybe none or maybe the answer lies much deeper.
Indian football has for a long time been in the ‘kiddie pool’ when it comes to their opposition. The team has undoubtedly progressed and made significant improvement during the tenure of Stimac. But the fact that remains is that Indian football has not been tested on a regular basis.
