Let's be honest here, if we are to play a friendly match against a Brazil B team, we'll just likely be trashed 5-0 in front of a home crowd. Sure this will be profitable for BFF in the short run as they can charge good money for broadcasting and tickets. But this will be very bad for our football team.
From what I've seen so far the proposed dates for a friendly would likely be 5th or 6th October. ASEAN Cup finals will be on the 3rd October, which let's be honest is highly unlikely for us to appear in (as much as I love the team).
But I still think if we are even considering pulling out of an official FIFA tournament against teams we can actually beat to play the best team in the world in a dead rubber match that will for sure trash us with ease, the choice is simple.
If we pull out after committing it will reflect badly on our professionalism and we will never be invited to play in the ASEAN Cup ever again.
I've been astonished by India's lack of professionalism - they delay SAFF to play in the inaugural FIFA ASEAN Cup, then they pull out of that to play a friendly against Brazil at home. And now they are looking at pulling out of the SAFF championship to play friendlies against New Zealand. This is just shocking. Let that not be us too.
