Andre,
India is heading in the right direction by sending their youth teams on tours in Europe and the USA,they are creating a solid foundation, as their under 16 had a very good tour of the USA recently, India recently got beat by Thailand by 1 goal to nil,a few years ago that could have been 4 or 5 nil.India's league is bigger and have players from every part of the globe,this would surely improve their game and they also have massive crowds they could be on par with us in 10 years time,I look forward to seeing what they can do in the Asian Cup.Their young MLS player didn't get a start but did play,he wasn't satisfied with his debut but that is not unusual,I dont think he is the first Indian to play in the MLS,I'll have to check that to be sure.Regards.
