Any Indian team is doomed to lose (forever) to Germany, Holland or Australia. We were leading with 20 mins to go and I’m surprised we lost by only 2 goals from there. 20 years from now this same routine we be played out with the usual thrashing for us. Tomorrow I expect us to lose to Japan who beat Holland 3-2.
