"We Were Disappointed But...": India Optimistic Despite Loss To Australia In AFC Asian Cup
India head coach Igor Stimac lauded his boys for the sheer heart they showed at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in Doha, Qatar, despite the 0-2 defeat against Australia in their opening Group B Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup match on Saturday. "I am proud of my boys. They showed that they are a bunch of honest, hard-working people who are committed to whatever we ask of them. They are ready to keep working without sleep, and I must praise them for it," said Stimac after the game, as quoted by an All India Football Federation (AIFF) press release.
