Was it even the Bangladesh national team or some club team we sent over there ? We know for a fact that national goal keeper Aminul is in BD, we also know that ten of our top national players have been around the brothers union club because of the transfers. So, who did we really send to India ? Was it the under 23 side ?
Amit, Saudi Arabia was known as the Brazil of Asia and they were also coached by a brazilian at some point. As for India, when I was very very young and had access to Indian magazines and books, I was under the impression that India was a top football nation (and hence Bangladesh was top as we were always fighting for the saaf glory), only after I grew up (about 12/13) and started to follow the then (and review earlier) world cup and asian cup matches did I realize that both India and bangladesh were FAR behind in international soccer. Back then, Dhaka clubs used to beat Nepal/Maldives clubs by 8-0 or 6-0. Those days are long gone.
