We can keep this good/better/best wishes in our mind...That we can qualify the 2014 World Cup..
Players will play...But we need the basic supporter's principles to support themselves..never depress if they lose any.... Because we have nothing to lose in International football,  but can gain +1 goodwill in each win.. So, we (Indians) should be positive about our National Team.
Asia Cup 2011 Preparations (AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2011™ - January 7-29, 2011)
Thailand - India (Away) 1 - 0          4th Sept. 2010
India - Thailand (Home) 1 - 2         8th Sept. 2010
India - Namibia (Home) 2 - 0         15th Sept. 2010
October 8th and 12th are official FIFA match days, and India will play two internationals, the opponents are yet undecided. In November, they will travel to either UAE or Qatar for their final preparations before the Asian Cup in Doha.
India - Vietnam (Scheduled) 8th Oct. 2010
But the International Practice/Friendly Match Schedule may be changed.... 
About Telecast: Official Channel Partner for telecasting Live of any friendly International Matches of National Football Team (India) is Zee Sports.
About Jersey Sponsor: Panasonic is the jersey sponsor for Indian football team up to (2011 end) 3 years with the deal of 47.5 millions.
About Preparation: Subrata needs to be rested for some matches. Because it is the practice match to look for fitness of all the players in the Battle. If Houghton checks for match fit about Renedy, Avishek, Rafi, Monju, Pradeep... then why not Arindam, Nabi, Deepak and Others???
Namibia coach Tom Saintfiet said “I am so jealous of the Indian team. They get to train together for eight months and play so many friendlies and hold camps in Europe".
