International Gothia Cup U18 Football Tournament 2017 Update: Finding out that our countrymen thrashed the Indians in football were an honorable news to hear, especially in a sport which is not giving much importance to Pakistan.

However, it was indeed disappointing to hear how none of the media outlets in our country were talking about this news. Hence, it wasn’t brought much to the attention of the locals.

Moving on to the big news – International Gothia Cup U18 Football Tournament 2017 Pakistan beat India by the score of 12-0.
