In that case you should close your federation because your India 'B' team conceeded a goal from a player who doesn't have a league at all.
Hope that helps you sleep.
Pakistan fielded two origin players in their starting XI.
With a local centre back like Haseeb Khan who did not play for Pakistan since 2024. (8 local players with no league including subs)
A great fight back by the MNT 'C' team. Unbelievable.
M.Junaid, Abdul Rehman and Najeeb were all playing for Pakistan u-20 team in March.
One started vs India today, two came of the bench...
Clearly a third string side of Pakistan with a massive performance.
With No Adil Nabi...
A total of 8 players who faced India today.... have no domestic competitive minutes under their belt.
Including midfielder Muhammad Junaid who came off the bench and was brilliant with his close control and trickery in tight spaces.

Five players in the starting XI of Pakistan had no league. Including Hayyan and Alamgir who have not played in a proper league since May.
Najeeb Ullah the goalscorer who came off the bench has no league and yet he scored vs India B team.
A great second half performance.

🚨Pakistan national team’s preparations ahead of SAFF Championship are in complete disarray due to PFF’s mismanagement.
The squad travelled in groups from Lahore and Islamabad, missed their connecting flight in Doha due to a short transit time, and arrived in Dhaka without kits & training equipment.
The NT reportedly missed today’s training session, while the MCM meeting was reportedly cancelled due to the missing kits. Head coach Nolberto Solano was reportedly furious and refused to attend the press conference, sending assistant coach Titus Bramble instead.
Now, Pakistan may have to play tomorrow against India without a proper training session, depending on whether the kits arrive on time.
A national team travelling for intl competition without basic arrangements. This is beyond embarrassing. PFF’s incompetence is putting the team’s preparations at risk. 🤦♂️😡
SAFF rules do not allow changes in the 32 man squad.
Bangladesh will not be able to replace Ronan Sullivan after injury accordingto sources.
The question is why PFF did not include the names of Iqbal and Easah in 32 man squad?
Why there is no official squad announcement?
Ali Akbar Khan, Abdul Samad Arshad, Easah Suliman and Abdullah Iqbal are expected to join squad in semis.
Not available vs India.
#pakistanfootball
Pakistan will have 10 players in their final 28 man squad who are 23 or below that age. (Including Hayyan Khattak and Abdul Samad Arshad)
The same as India ....
#saffchampionship
Pakistan will have 24 players available for the game against India.
Saqib Hanif, Adil Nabi, Ali Uzair, Shayek Dost, Ali Raza, Mckeal Abdullah, Yousuf Butt will join the 17 players who recieved the NOC to travel to Bangladesh.

#PakistanFootball
Exactly brother... injuries at the last minute..unavailability of key players like Ali Akbar Khan at the last moment is damaging.
Till Friday there was hope and belief but things have changed drastically. I believed we could beat India but not anymore. Reports from camp are bad
We are an absolutely dead team this SAAF, when we had a chance to have a team that was difficult to beat, thanks to the pathetic management from SAAF. Pakistan is robbed bcz of the pathetic timing of the tournament. #PakistanFootball #FOOTBALL
Ali Akbar Khan will not be available vs India.
His club fighting relegation in Sweden third tier is not willing to release him.
Huge blow.
#pakistanfootball
Pakistan likely to field its third string team vs India. With 7 local players likely to start.. Bench strength is extremely weak with several players having knocks, injuries and illness.
Everything that could go wrong is going wrong.
#pakistanfootball
Pakistan will NOT have 8 diaspora players vs India.
Otis Khan, Faraz Gulzari, Rahis Nabi, Ali Akbar, Easah Suliman, Abdullah Iqbal, Mohammad Fazal, Abdul Samad.
Mohib Afridi doubtful vs India due to Injury. Only 4 origin players likely to start vs India. Luck not on our side.

Kayla Siddiqi will be playing for Ho Chi Minh City in the AFC Women's Champions League and it hasn't gone unnoticed with the local media.
East Bengal's first continental test comes with an interesting subplot!
Pakistan international Kayla Siddiqi is among Ho Chi Minh City Women’s FC’s foreign recruits for the AFC Women’s Champions League
