Any thing can happen in football specially no team is superior to others . On any given any team can walk over with a win it all depends on how you play on a particular day . For ex greece euro win france workd cup 1998 so dont underestimate any team

No, he is talking about the upcoming SAFF championship. I think you have misunderstood what he was saying. Also i think Sri Lanka is going to do well in this tournament. Let's wait and see.

I do not know when but if Sri Lanka can keep their peace with them ( i really hope they do not start again a religious war), they are gonna bounce back. And they will bounce back hard, really hard in football and in other fields of development!!!! But seriously i do not think this is their tournament, they might have some improvements but they will need more time to build a new generation of talents. Anyway Good luck Sri Lanka.

Hi guys. I have shared this idea long time ago as well. Why shouldn't' we invite central Asian countries ( Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan Tajikistan Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) to join in this tournament??? As far as my limited knowledge is concerned they do not have a tournament within themselves, so i guess they will be happy to take part in this. They are normally ranked higher than SAFF countries and tries to play beautiful football. If we manege to get them this tournament will be more competitive and quality of football will improve.
