‘Something is better than nothing’

Bangladesh national football team continue their training at home yesterday as the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) failed to arrange any preparation matches abroad ahead of next month’s World Cup Qualifiers. Jamie Day’s troupes are now scheduled to reach Qatar on May 28 after playing a practice match against Sheikh Jamal/Abahani on May 27. Bangladesh captain Jamal Bhuiyan expressed his sheer disappointment yesterday over local governing body’s failure of making any good planning compared to other opponents like Afghanistan and India. Jamal however believes that a practice match against a local opponent at least provides some basic ideas about their weakness as he mentioned the old saying: “Something is better than nothing.” PHOTO: BFF
