Yesterday was a day of shame for the Indian football team. The Blue Tigers were beaten 6-0 by the United Arab Emirates in an international friendly match to prepare for the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
After an impressive 1-1 draw against Oman on 25th March, hopes were high on the Indian team to deliver a good result. But they failed at it miserably, and now Igor Stimac has only won 1 match in his 12 matches as the Indian football head-coach. They are now 10 games without a win which have raised many eyebrows regarding his ability to steer the team in the right direction.
The 6-0 loss to UAE yesterday was one of the biggest defeats for India in the 21st century. So here we take a look at the top 5 biggest defeats of the Indian national football team in the 21st century:
