Did anyone know that FIFA awarded Iran a 3–0 win as a result of India fielding the ineligible player Eugeneson Lyngdoh? Funny, and a bit sad, that this time it is a team playing against us that gets this decision but it makes no difference since the game already ended 3-0 for TM.

Doesn't that mean all the players that scored that game lose their stats?

I can not believe we beat them with only 3-0. They have progressed a lot! I don't know why no one is worried! Soon we will have a hard time beating them like many other emerging Asian nations!

Nah. The game was on their own shitty turf and they defended like crazy and parked the bus. nothing to worry about

Poor India ... The real punishment is coming on March 24th, when they face Iran at Ayriamehr (so called today's Azadi) Stadium.
