So what it was raining , Pakistani guys just cant play . Bangladesh has done a great job.They are the best team in south asia . It was raining but still Bangladeshi players played well . To be honest bangladesh is better than pakistan….

its 3-0 not 3-1 sucker

Some of you are talking about corruption in the Pak team… wth are you talking about? Your really going to judge from that game?????????? Everyone who should be in the team, is in the team

DID ANYONE SEE THOSE MATCH CONDITIONS???????? It was like they were swimming!!!

You CANNOT expect to gain a proper conclusion on how the two teams play from that game!…
Okay, Bangladesh did play better, but that is to a very great extent due to the fact that they were accustomed to the pitch conditions.

I ask you again…. Did you really look at that game and think that it was a fair game? Or even a game of Soccer at all?….. It was pitiful… I play abroad in a lower division to these guys. We would’ve played in wet conditions, but not FLOODED conditions…..

The way Bangladesh were flicking everything up in the air was evident that they had obviously adapted to the game conditions…. And true, a lot of the times they were first up in the air and they also used their heads because they knew the Pakistani’s were disadvantaged in assessing how the ball was going to roll (If it actually rolled, as soon as it landed, it just stopped!!).

So to conclude, the Lahore match will be a game where the true colours of both teams will be seen. Don’t look at this first leg and assess both teams as equally prepared and advantaged, because your just blind…

Wait and see the Lahore match and decide from there…. the better team will avail.

pakistan need foreign coach look at south korea for exmple dutch coach etc. and you need foreigner players because we corupted we suck !!!!!!!!! the foreign playewrs will give our natural players new techniek and inspiration with a top coach from holland germany or spain perheps turkey is not bad also som turkisk strikers would be super !

I believe the likes of Zesh, Adnan Ahmed and co will retire now. There is no hope Pakistan will beat Bengladesh now in the second-leg, so there’s no point players such as Zesh sacraficing his club for Pakistan. This was the only major tournament that foreign players could have done something and be part of, now the next world cup is another 5-6 years and even the Asian championships are couple of years ahead , and by that time Zesh and others will be too old to play. End of an era I believe. It shows to me that forieng based Pakistani players aren’t really that advanced then local Pakistani players. The English coach Roberts must be laughing at us now!

Bangladesh, to their credit, actually has a proper system of a professional league, support of sponsors, and money to hire a dedicated foreign coaching staff at its disposal.

Pakistan does not have that even to this day. Foreign players are a class apart (trust me, you too would want someone like Adnan Ahmed, Atif Bashir, Zesh Rehman etc in your team!) but it all goes down to how they are used by our coaches – most of whom are ad-hoc appointees to save money who dont really know how to use them well!

They are as Pakistani as the rest of us. Problem is local mentality towards football and the way football is administered is a joke in Pakistan! Local talent can only be nurtured if professionalism and coaching is taken seriously!

well, that’s why it’s called home condition! We are the world champion under rain.
