Igor Stimac says that India`s massed ranks of vocal fans can be the difference when his underdogs face a tough Uzbekistan test at the Asian Cup in Qatar on Thursday.
There are an estimated 750,000 Indians living in Qatar, which has a population of nearly three million, and Indians fans roared on their team despite an opening 2-0 defeat to Australia. There was a crowd of over 36,000 at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Doha for the Asian Cup game on Saturday, most of them Indian, and Stimac is anticipating an even bigger turnout against Uzbekistan.
