No need to die, this is just a football game, anybody can win. But if our team play with flair, freedom and with utter disdain for the pressure that is weighing them down like gravity we will get chances but Umair must come to the party. He has been waiting on the periphery for too long, it is about time he exulted on the big stage. I think he is still suffering from his over-inflated sense of self-entitlement and tantrum he threw in AFC Cup earlier this year with New Radiant. He was devoid of proper teamwork ethics as his obsession was to have ball under his feet when the team was on attack, giving others a discerning look for not obliging to his demands. Every now and then he would throw a fit of petulance for not getting the services we wanted. Stop that sulking and face-pulling and find that fantastic form of last year.

my comment just doesnt show here as i said mahloof can die if he wants. politicians should not be part of this. let the players live even if they cant win. the government is not providing proper assistance for sports so blame the government if something goes wrong. players do what they can do. iam sure of it
