The physical frailty of our players is quite evident from this picture. Looks like they are under-16 team.

I believe our under 19 tem have done extremely well, much more than many expected, so I raise my hat to you all. In addition to our youths, amongst the SAFF countries, I have to say Bangladesh did very well too but India showed the best performance against the better teams.
