India lost to USA in their 1st group match !
:india:0:8​:us_outlying_islands:

Next Group Match VS :morocco: , :date: OCT 14

India were overwhelmed by a formidable USA in their opening match of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup as they suffered a 0-8 thrashing in a lop-sided Group A match here on Tuesday.
Reality bit the Indian team as it was toyed by a far more technically superior USA who were 4-0 up by the half-hour mark and 5-0 ahead at half time.

USA pumped in three more goals in the second session to hand a humiliating defeat to the Indians before a sizable home crowd at the Kalinga Stadium.

“I didn’t like to play out wide for Barça. I hated it! But I did it for the team. There is one rule: if the boss asks you to do something, you do it, IF it’s good for the team! If it’s bad for the team, I would get the argument.”

Mbappé should learn from the Best. :+1:t4:
