Considering the present (dire) stature of Bangladesh football, even a prime Salah can’t drag us out of this mess. Hamza is definitely head and shoulder above the other members of present squad. But unless we drastically improve the structure, administration, and culture of our football we can’t take benefit of a better player.
I don’t know the player, but a quick look at his career suggests he has been on the fringe of the national team, and hasn’t been able to stick at the MLS level. The CPL at this stage at least is definitely a tier below that. At his age, I doubt he would get many more looks in to the Canada set up, which is at a higher level than it was the last time he got an invitation. This is a good step for him. He will earn some caps, and make his Bangladeshi family proud.
Dear Sir,
I am writing to ask you a delicate question. As you have stated that the Bangladesh cricket team are the equivalent of Liverpool, how would you characterise the Bangladesh football team?
Are they analogous to Manchester United maybe?
I await your reply with eager anticipation.
Yours sincerely,
Craig Johnston
