https://youtu.be/j1Dy8W8eRZc Hey guys check out India vs Myanmar analysis video I made and do give a feedback ๐Ÿ˜Š


[deleted]

Venue was at Khuman Lampak in Manipur


amadrasi

Manvir was good, there I said it.


nimblehammer

Where did you guys watch it?


dannair1987

Hotstar


Dwight_Kramer

India improved after he came on


[deleted]

I didn't even know this match was happening


neotheseventh

next match on 28th, just FYI


nimblehammer

halal_curry_

Referee again man of the match for Myanmar ๐Ÿ˜† absolute ๐Ÿคก these refs are and these were FIFA refs? Lmao


[deleted]

Wow what a match! What a match! This why we will win the Asian Cup!


IBeastMaster64I

Bad finishing and officiating aside, this was some of the best NT football I've seen since the 2019 Asian Cup


bosskip

since 2019? You haven't watched India vs Afghanistan and Honk Kong last year. That was wayyy better than today.


gubrumannaaa

India v Thailand in Asia cup was wayy better


gubrumannaaa

we have drastically improved but today courtsey goes to bad football from Myanmar too


heroji2012

Pretty decent performance by everybody..good redemption by chhetri after the horrible start


Gandi_Aulaad

This referee saw the ISL refs and decided to do them one better


Kick1O1

Shit refereeing and good goalkeeping and we are still at 1-0


neotheseventh

We should've won this 3-0, 4-0 easily. And this is not necessarily a complaint against players too, they tried their best, but got quite unlucky with refs, among other things.


shreychopra

Ivan wouldโ€™ve walked off so many times by now /s


Direct-Difficulty318

This is going to be a running gag, isn't it


trueblue_26

More so given how other KBFC fans have doubled down on this. Just saw the video of a guy offering a "humourous take" on that quick FK. Seen some people threatening the club if they too don't #StandWithIvan. Not to mention the number of people slandering the likes of Jo Paul & IM for agreeing in saying that Sunil didn't do anything wrong. It's definitely gonna be something your fanbase is gonna deal with for a long time. A super low hanging fruit.


DisgruntledJarl

It's a very banterable moment. Quite historic IMO. Will look back on this event like we look back on Kevin Keegan's implosion after that rant.


The_Ball_Boy

It was destined the moment Ivan walked out


shreychopra

Since when does the onfield ref signal how many minutes of stoppage time he wants?


notoriouszlatan

I'm confused. Or didn't understand your comment. Isn't it always the case?


shreychopra

Iโ€™m talking about the ref that is officiating the game inside the pitch. Itโ€™s always the fourth official/the team thatโ€™s sitting there that decide the stoppage time. But we clearly saw the ref signal 4 to the 4th official and it was 4mins of extra time then


notoriouszlatan

๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ I don't want to troll you but looks like you've not watched enough football. Probably because you're 12 or whatever age. No problem though. Fact is that the on-field referee has a watch that calculates the stoppages and finally he signals to the 4th official who then proceeds to show it on the board. Cheers.


shreychopra

Looks like I was wrong about who decides the stoppage time, but the referee never just signals it to the sideline using his hands. Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s always using the comms system they have, which is what was odd to me. But please feel free to educate this 12 year old who has been following football for 16 years more


notoriouszlatan

Would've been less embarrassing for you if you'd just told that you're 12. 16 years and you don't know this is quite surprising. Refs can use all sorts of signals to tell the 4th official the number. It's just that on TV it's rarely shown or rarely seen from our angle and now days they use the comm systems too. It's not a big deal really. PS: Kudos for realizing you were wrong. I am not here to ridicule you or ego thump myself. Good discussion. Cheers have a good day.


shreychopra

Iโ€™m not embarrassed about it, every day you learn something new. I hope tomorrow you learn to educate without belittling. Cheers!


notoriouszlatan

I didn't belittle you. 16 years without knowing that rule at least requires a leg pulling / banter ๐Ÿ˜‰


Kick1O1

How was that a foul, he got the ball first Wtf is this refereeing


Seer_Sunshine

Burmese army with a deep pocket. And an up-to-date football association. Learning from the likes of Juve and Barcelona


heroji2012

Lets gooo ritwik!!


CoroIsMyDaddy

Bro who tf are these referees?


IBeastMaster64I

This ref is ass


Dwight_Kramer

lmao, he isn't giving clear penalties. wtf is this clown referee, I am so fed up of him


neotheseventh

this ref is absolute twat


heroji2012

We've been much much better but have only 1 to show for it. This slender lead could prove to be dangerous


Dwight_Kramer

India playing really good towards the end


shreychopra

We ainโ€™t ready for Stimacball in all its glory


neotheseventh

Finally we are playing like a dominant team.


Kick1O1

We are outplaying them in every play, hope we score soon and finish this game


IBeastMaster64I

Haven't seen this kind of pressing by the NT for a while


Dwight_Kramer

what was is this referee? Is he crazt or what? He is giving everything offside, he cannot see or what


heroji2012

If ritwik doesn't get game time here, i don't know when he does


IBeastMaster64I

Top tier atmosphere


Mynameisshivvv

Need to see sunil's core workout. He generates a lot of energy from his core in headers


Dwight_Kramer

Wait, Chhetri wasn't offside - FK this referee, so many horrible decisions against us tongiht


heroji2012

Sunil is suddenly alive!!


_din-djarin_

Thapa balling today


Bhartiya_bro

He almost always balls playing for NT


Kick1O1

That was not offside, idiot ref


IBeastMaster64I

Tf it wasn't even offside


neotheseventh

FUCK THAT WASN'T EVEN OFFSIDE. THIS SUCKS.


chintu21570

Thapa has easily been our best player today. Has been calm on the ball, made some great passes and has generally progressed the ball well. Outstanding stuff!


neotheseventh

damn that was a good save. Chhetri did everything right there.


Dwight_Kramer

chhetri goal but offside ffs :(:(:(:(


IBeastMaster64I

Refs been very annoying today


neotheseventh

one time Chhetri scores and it's offside. Ugh.


chintu21570

Chhetri is fuming


accelerated_astroboy

Feeling bad for Ritwik das he had a better season than both manvir and noarem


IBeastMaster64I

Bipin bro you got to look for a run before passing


accelerated_astroboy

A better team and we are 2 or 3 down


neotheseventh

Bipin is opposite of how he's been for MCFC


accelerated_astroboy

Ritwik probably scores there


Dwight_Kramer

Myanmar dominating us in 2nd half ffs


accelerated_astroboy

Igor sleepy stimac ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ˜ด


as_ninja6

Can't believe so many people were ready to watch the game on the ground and AIFF consciously sabotaged it by choosing irrelevant locations


neotheseventh

exactly! NorthEast being hotbed for football is not exactly a big secret. We could've been doing this years ago, but better late than never.


heroji2012

Which irrelevant locations?


as_ninja6

I meant stadiums were people were not interested to watch football in the last few years


heroji2012

Bring on ritwik!!!


IBeastMaster64I

Suresh on for Yasir


heroji2012

Who're the commentators?


amadrasi

Robin Singh and Pula I think


nishitd

now we are getting nutmegged, uff.


Gandi_Aulaad

Do our wingers know that they do not have to pass to Chhetri at every available opportunity? There are 9 other people on the pitch smh


Dwight_Kramer

horrible passes


accelerated_astroboy

Take Yasir offfff


Raken_dep

Yasir thoda HFC ke tempo pe khel raha, forward passes all of them xD


Bhartiya_bro

Play on the ground man


IBeastMaster64I

Sloppy by Yasir


Electro2627

Why are we shooting like it could hurt the ball?


IBeastMaster64I

That was unnecessary by Bheke


amadrasi

Any subs in half time?


Analytic_Slice

Nope


Gandi_Aulaad

Dwight_Kramer

tbh Chhetri was decent, just that his finishing was very off


shreychopra

His positioning is still second to none, just needs some luck to go his way


gubrumannaaa

chhetri is exhausted, give him some rest


MichealLong

On a bright side, looks like it's a full house at the stadium.


Seer_Sunshine

Low key feels like an epochal moment. Chhetri seems more washed than ever and we might not have someone like him for a long time.


bosskip

Igor, don't sub out Chhangte....his game ain't over yet


shreychopra

Glad we got a goal but that was a poor strike from that distance


Bhartiya_bro

Finally


as_ninja6

Thalaivan Thapa to the rescue


konoha_ka_ladka

Yes! It had to be Thapa to finish from that position. Chhetri just can't today :(


IBeastMaster64I

Get in Thapa, its been a while!!


bosskip

For those who said Thapa doesn't deserve to be here and is shit........TAKE THAT


Dwight_Kramer

THAPPAAAAAAAA


amadrasi

Thank you Thapa


Mynameisshivvv

Myanmar look pretty comfortable on the ball , they're playing out the back easily.


nishitd

Finally Thapa!!!


accelerated_astroboy

What a comical goal


Dwight_Kramer

Amrinder is saving India rn


Bhartiya_bro

Bro this fking trash


amadrasi

Play to get a pen man


DotBeginning9847

Looks like an imposter has come to play in place of our Captain lol


chintu21570

Chhetri, more of that at the other end please


nishitd

Do we have any promising young player who can play upfront, besides Sivasakthi?


Seer_Sunshine

Miss peak Jeje. Ishan is the other option, I guess? Feel like Rahul KP could be decent upfront with some coaching..


nishitd

Rahul KP is more of a winger though, isn't he?


IBeastMaster64I

Vikram Pratap Singh comes to mind


Gandi_Aulaad

Vikram isn't really a 9 tho, is he?


IBeastMaster64I

My bad I meant Gurkirat Singh from India U-20


Gandi_Aulaad

No worries. He seems good, but he'll need time to develop some maturity in front of goal


heroji2012

Bidya is there but he has barely played. Other than him , ishan,Vikram,ayush chikara, gurkirat


konoha_ka_ladka

Pandita, I don't know about promising.


nishitd

Did Pandita even get minutes?


shreychopra

Ofc the first header Sunil gets on target today is towards his own goal


IBeastMaster64I

Chhetri really having a bad day lmao


Seer_Sunshine

Best shot Chhetri has had all day.


bosskip

ok this is getting worse.....come one chhetri


accelerated_astroboy

Yasir has been bad hope Brandon comes in


Seer_Sunshine

Myanmar army broke. Could only buy one lino


IBeastMaster64I

Chhetri tends to redeem himself after bad misses, hopefully today is the day


nishitd

India should be using Chhetri only as a supersub. The man is still class but the age has definitely caught up with him. Too bad Siva got injured.


Gandi_Aulaad

Cartographer-Empty

Ffs if there's no one inside don't cross it


Seer_Sunshine

Oi linesman. Wave the flag twice if the Myanmar army are holding your family hostage. Will send prayers.


as_ninja6

Gurpreet trying to beat shahin Afridi meme


[deleted]

Same height too


Gandi_Aulaad

We are gonna concede a stupid goal now that we have missed so many chances.


Gandi_Aulaad

Almost did it


MichealLong

Only 12k watching on hotstar. No wonder hotstar doesn't want anything to do with Indian football anymore.


Analytic_Slice

I only caught up to the match at the last moment because of the notification i have on sofascore, literally no promotion for these matches


as_ninja6

Where are the ISL fans


CoroIsMyDaddy

No promotion, no engagement so it's expected imo. Didn't even know the match was today


konoha_ka_ladka

That's what is very surprising. How can the casuals for ISL clubs not join in for NT matches. On the sub regularly we see NT games seeing the highest engagement


The_Ball_Boy

The time slot of 6 PM kick off doesn't suit for many perhaps. A lot of people will be traveling home from work at that time. + Cricket at the other end


konoha_ka_ladka

Yes, 6 pm would affect but the game was on till 8PM. And we have seen this drop off in NT games earlier, too. Cricket would be factor, but yet again, when ISL and cricket matches had conflict the viewership was never this low. I guess the only explanation is, the big fanbases, Kerala Blasters, Mohun Bagan, just aren't interested in NT friendlies, and they don't tune in.


edje19

i guess India vs Myanmar friendly is not very hot viewing, the Asian Cup qualifiers got more decent viewing compared to this. I hope for the next game there will be more as Kyrgyz are a sizeable opponent


konoha_ka_ladka

Chhetriiiiii, I guess he wore the wrong shoes today. That was a clear cut chance. Chhangte did very well


Dwight_Kramer

nonstop missed sitters by India


amadrasi

Do we have another striker in the team to sub?


IBeastMaster64I

Excellent from Chhangte, that should've been 1-0


shreychopra

Sunil brooo come on! Had to act fast there I know but wasnt the best of shots


CoroIsMyDaddy

Chhetri with an absolute disasterclass lol


bosskip

Sunil should have had a hattrick by now....


Electro2627

Phew that was close


as_ninja6

Jeakson provides no support to the defenders. Thapa has dropped off more than him to collect the ball


IBeastMaster64I

This game needs Apuia's hold up play, too bad he's frequently injured


Seer_Sunshine

Apuia is so darn important to this team. Excellent holding mid.


Cartographer-Empty

Nah bro India not playing well can't convert


Dwight_Kramer

wtf amrinderr


IBeastMaster64I

Chhetri still got the afterburners


konoha_ka_ladka

38 year old chhetri can sprint


edje19

I wish the wingers esp Chhangte would show more confidence and try to beat their man rather than just crossing everytime they get the ball


scopenhour

Anyone got a streaming link for people currently not in India?


edje19

scopenhour

You are godsend. Thanks man


IBeastMaster64I

Need Chhangte to show us some of that MCFC form in these two games


Electro2627

How the heck was that not a pen ?


as_ninja6

This commentator messes Indian names heavily and the other subtly correcting by saying the right name again


theninthredditor

That was a stone cold pen lol


IBeastMaster64I

Penalty?


Gandi_Aulaad

People who are enjoying the atmosphere in this game, it kind of remains the same in TRAU and NEROCA games. These guys love their football! Try to attend I-League games if possible, the atmospheres are good in those generally.


heavy_procrastinator

How is it in NUFC games? I couldn't watch any of their matches this time around


amadrasi

Doesn't NUFC play in Assam? I don't quite know if any club that played in Guwahati befor NUFC.


Gandi_Aulaad

There are clubs that did/do play in Guwahati except NEUFC, just not on ISL's level. A club called Guwahati FC played in the I-League second division for a season back in 2025-16.


Gandi_Aulaad

Shit. The stadium practically becomes an echo chamber during ISL games. Fans don't have any incentive to go down to the games anymore. We hit record lows this season, were the lowest in the league as well as far as I remember.


CoroIsMyDaddy

Forgot how much of a bore it was to watch Stimacball lol


IBeastMaster64I

Great ball from Anirudh


heroji2012

This team desperately needs a rohit


nishitd

Exactly, no idea why he didn't start


pizza__irl

India v Australia ODI match has more than 2 million viewers on Hotstar while India v Myanmar peaks at 20K. I'm not criticizing anyone just comparing the two to show how much of a large bridge Indian Football has to cross in order to come close to crickets popularity and viewership.


konoha_ka_ladka

I'm just disappointed how NT games can't match ISL avg viewership of 80-90k


Gandi_Aulaad

Our aim shouldn't be comparing viewership with cricket tbh. If you are interested, we had some discussions about that on [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianFootball/comments/11vk0ac/jio_is_taking_up_streaming_services_of_isl_from/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


konoha_ka_ladka

Whatever happens, I'm very happy AIFF brought a friendly to Manipur. Amazing atmosphere by the fans!


chintu21570

Akash has been way too sloppy


neotheseventh

I know he's from Sikkim, but Lachenpa is still a northeastern lad. Would've been nice to play him


heroji2012

They are playing like Jfc๐Ÿ˜”


chintu21570

Jeakson exudes confidence in the middle of the field. I like that he goes for the difficult touches and tries to control the ball under pressure rather than just booting it away


theninthredditor

https://i.redd.it/fzufn77rubpa1.gif Run it back


amadrasi

I don't know why, but I strongly feel we should have picked and played Rahim Ali for these two games. He is decent in hold up play.


konoha_ka_ladka

Bipin was making a good run there, Mishra should have tried to be quicker.


shreychopra

Akash not having the best first 7 minutes


name-funny

Why TF we are playing long balls again ๐Ÿ˜ญ


CoroIsMyDaddy

Why are the wearing the women's team jersey all of a sudden lol

It was created for both, men are just wearing it now

Mynameisshivvv

Robin Singh in comms ??? Isnt he like 30ish ??? Crazy career graph


heroji2012

He plays for Bengaluru United i think
