Pakistan Soccer Team. [Dedicated PFF Thread]

Both countries ( Pakistan and India ) football teams are pathetic. Indian football is like school children playing football in the ground.

Its an embarassment to watch Indian football matches.

We have to increase the standards drastically to play against decent footballing nations.

my friend told me we used to have a 2 or 3 star team in 1980's but when they were coming back from Brazil the plane crashed and they were all killed.

True?

here's an impt fact I dug up from a Pakistani football forum

"Iran has more then 10,000 c license coaches whereas we have only 150 or so c license coaches
only 8 b
and 2 a license coaches. "

"india has got 274 pro-license football coaches."

That means $ and resources aren't being funneled into football at all. No couches, no success.

Who is the captain?

Thursday, 03 Jun, 2010




LAHORE: Pakistan Football Federation (PFF)’s President Makhdoom Syed Faisal Saleh Hayat has asked all the captains of the five participating teams in the Super Football League (SFL) 2010 to wear the captain’s band to distinguish themselves from other team mates.

“It has been noticed that managers/coach of several teams ignore this practice which can put them into trouble in the future as Match Commissioners/ Referee deserve the right to bring the team’s official and captain under punishment,” he added.



SFL 2010 will be held at Karachi’s Peoples Sports Complex, Lyari Town from June 11 to July 31, 2010 where the participants will be titlist Islamabad United, Karachi Energy, Peshawar’s Tribe FC, Quetta Zorawar and Lahore Lajpaals.



“Throughout every game of football, each team must have a team captain and he must wear a captain’s armband. It makes it easier for the referees to recognize the captain on the field during the game. I have seen several matches of World Cup 2006 and other FIFA/AFC shows and didn’t see a single skipper missing the captain’s armband.”



“Why do the referees need to recognize the captain? The most important reason is because the captain is responsible for the behavior of all of the players in the team. If the captain is substituted or sent off, the armband must be transferred to another member of the team on the field,” said Faisal.



He added that the captain’s armband is compulsory for all the teams who play in the event under the jurisdiction of PFF.



Faisal also asked the PFF Operation Wing, Manager Competition and Match Commissioners to check the behavior of the team management regarding captain’s armband. – PPI
