It seems most of the teams are not prepared for this tournament. Is this part of their mind games to take off guard their opponents or they are telling the truth, they are not well prepared. But be warned, still nobody can unserp Maldives from its perch of under-preparation.As if their preparation is not enough players come into this tournament without domestic league, it was postponed. Who else can have such distinction of doing a double whammy?
