India lost to Hong Kong in Asian AFC Cup qualifiers

 


Hello my bitterly disappointed Indian football fanatics! It was a hard loss to take.

Super-sub Stefan Pereira scored the last-second penalty awarded to Hong Kong.

In fact, the penalty was won against India’s goalkeeper Vihal Kaith by Udebuluzor.

He was subbed in the 75th minute. I wonder why Amrinder or Gurpreet didn’t play?

The introduction of super ex-captain Sunil Chhetri at the one hour mark did nothing.

Next, in October, we will play Singapore, both home and away, within just one week.

After those 2 matches, it will be Bangladesh hosting us on 18th November - we drew.

The last group stage match will be on the last day of March 2026, versus Hong Kong.

So, 4 matches to go, we are at the bottom place in our group, with a mountain to climb.

Watch my videos about Indian football, Manchester United, and lots of travel! Namaste!

The air time was pretty evenly divided, I think, although I know my egotistical thought process gives me way more credit than I'm due for. Still, no, wait, not still, I also committed a grave error of leaving out a person from my life history, despite saying in the same conversation, at a different point of time, words to the effect that a nurtured grievance tends to intensify negatively over time. I hope I have not slipped up too badly. Mahak pressed the red button when I called right now. With Mum, I knew in my heart she knew I was going to be serious about Mahak. Hence, at an opportunistic moment was exploited to full advantage, meaning no negativity whatsoever, and Mum accepted the news with good humor; I think her apprehensions are going to wait till December. Now, I have two things...

Money

By Pink Floyd Excellent song. The lyrics pertain to (most probably) the group's experience itself. As such, it is funny and humorous, poking fun at the system of media barons and "chart" economics.  I relate to it even more these days, when all I need is money. I am at peace, content, moksha-esque, even - but I do need money for subsistence. Which reminds me , how do I monetize my writings? Time to fire up the Vaio.
