No Anil and James in the squad,have they joined with team yet?
Adiyeda Goal !!!
It was an entertaining match. But chirag is missing 2 good players. I think Vineeth CK ans Shabas saleel has a great future ahead.
Vineeth has scored his third goal today and is among the Indian top scorers.
we in Ghana are very disappointed in the attribute of this players that viva has recruited this time around .although we have not lost hope in the team , we will like to make the players know that it is our heart they are joking with and they should know that matters of the heart are very delicate. so we plead with them to be up and doing so we all will be happy together. i will rest my case here and will plead with all the players to give their all in the next match they play . pls let all the team know that we are worried and like to have back the smiles they put on our faces after that first away win. LET ALL HANDS COME ON DECK AND HELP KERALA TAKE IT'S RIGHTFUL PLACE AMONG THE FIRST FOUR ON INDIA. GO BOYS AND SHOW WHAT YOU ARE WORTH. WE STILL HAVE THAT SUPPORT FOR THE TEAM EVEN FROM HERE IN GHANA. GO AND TAKE YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE.
