Doorbin,

You should plan on going regardless of whether you think there is any chance whatsoever of Banglaesh winning. The sign of a true, die-hard fan is the willingness to keep supporting the team even in the face of defeat after defeat. That is difficult to do...but it will make victory all the more sweet when it finally comes...you will be in a position to declare proudly that you stuck with the team through the worst of times.

All this brings back very fond memories of May 31, 1999. A number of us Bangladeshis were watching the match at MIT...of course, no one in their rational mindset thought Bangladesh would win...but there were the odd one or two among us who harbored a faint bit of hope in the corner of our hearts. And when it did happen, it truly was a moving experience. I will remember that day very fondly for a long time to come.
