What kind of coach is this? He is happy with the result despite our women’s team has been drubbed with a volley score. Is he just content with life and the fact they are taking part in the tournament in South Korea? Whoever is happy when you conceded 15 goals against your south Asian neighbour is complete misfit, trying to fool others. He should be shown the door immediately, he is tactically naïve and too inexperienced.

Ouch! 15 goals leaked against India, I fear for the matches against Thailand and hosts South Korea. I think we are all in agreement that this tournament is way too soon for Maldives ladies to participate. First we should try to get a foothold in the Women's SAFF Championship before going continental.

"Very happy with the performance"?? How the hell can one be happy with a 15-0 thrashing?? Maldives are nowhere near ready for such a tournament. This has shades of the ill-fated World Cup qualifiers the of the men's team in 1997. Back then, it was a wake-up call for the authorities to invest more in our football. Hopefully this will be the same for the women's team.
