Great going. His example will spur more South Asians to take up football professionally. I can only remember Michael Chopra and Vikash Dhorashoo as the last subcontinent origin players to play internationally.

Pakistani govt. and more importantly Pak media should use this opportunity to counter the predominantly negative news stories attributed to Pakistan.

Very true thats the double standard policy of such countries When you do something good you become their national and when you do something bad you are mentioned with your origin.
