Every WC, Lyari gets lit up and everyone is on about how Lyari has footballing talent good enough that they should all play in the NT.

The hard cold truth is, they do not. I can name 10 more areas in Pakistan that produce better footballers that actually produce National Team players.

Even in Karachi, Malir and Korangi produce better players then Lyari. It's all hype.

Chaman, Nushki, Faisalabad, Tandlianwalla, Samundri, Chitral, Quetta, some KPK areas, Malir, Korangi, Gilgit (women's players) produce far better actual competitive players with a better footballing culture too

The promos for Lyari even feature ballers from OUTSIDE Lyari.

When you look at how Cape Verde, Morocco, Curacao, Iraq hell even France move with players of origin. It should be high time they reconsider playing for Pakistan especially with the recent results we got, and we have a big tournament coming up in September/October then the SAFF cup in November and next year we begin our 2030 World Cup Qualification campaign.

Players like Sonny Perkins, who said one day he will play for Pakistan (he's 21) should really start to make up his mind.

Jaden Mears, plays RB for championship club Stoke City should definitely be brought in.

Ole Saeter, I'm not sure about his eligibility criteria but PFF needs to make more of an effort.

There are like 3-4 more young players like Sajawal Iqbal in Switzerland, Layth Gulzar (plays in Qatar) and Sahil Bashir too.

With also the return of Etzaz Hussein and Faraz Gulzari, we can build a proper team and work towards qualifying for the 2031 Asian Cup and the round 3 of world cup qualifiers and who knows we might just have a shot at the world cup 🤷
