This is how this game came about:
Honestly, if it wasn't for the federation bypassing CQ and booking Korea, we wouldn't even have a game on the 16th. And CQ was even complaining about that game last week!
FIFA regulations aren't shit you find out about as a coach two weeks before game time. These games should have been requested by CQ and arranged in early 2014 or worst case scenario after the world cup when he took a two month vacation. Even now, when our preparations are in total shambles, he's in UAE watching beach football!
Didn't you guys read what our good friend from Sweden said, that he had to beg CQ to accept to play a friendly with Sweden. As soon as he gave the go-ahead, the federation made it happen. This guy's honestly killing TM and I know his first excuse if we fail (zaboonam laal) is going to be that he didn't get the full support of so and so in our preparation!
