Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

they should go, there is no harm.

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

Yes, they should come. it will be a great step towards peace.
plus zardari will get to play a real president too. :D

though i have my reservations against heads of states watching game in stadiums. it puts unnecessary pressure on the players.

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

one http for president, one for prime minister

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

They should go although its quite shameful that 2 adult leaders of 2 nations, need "cricket" to talk on serious issues effecting more than 1.5 billion people directly.

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

who's talking peace? All desis will be watching. It is just a marathon photo op for a lot of people.

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

News Update - Zardari demands 10% of the gate proceeds as a condition for accepting the invite.

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

I dont agree. It is only for a photo op and to send across a message. they really needed to talk then manmohan knows that there is no point talking to pm or president of pakistan.

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

I think they should pass & watch match on their plasma's while poppi'n pop corns :)

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

I hope the match isn't fixed...mujhay kyun lug raha hai haar dikhanay kay liyeh bula raha hai...

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

^^ If you talk to bookies then they have some very interesting stories to tell ;)

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

konsi stories bhai log ???? kuch share karo na ;)

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

^^ with about 1.2 billion dollars at bet a lot of things can happen :D

The odds for India are at 60 paise (for a rupee’s bet). For Pakistan, it is at Rs 1.55. The lower the odds, the higher are the perceived chances of a team winning.

Sorry i'm not familiar with Betting business so enlighten me a bit ..... India favorites to win so u get less money back of what u put on and vice versa if Pakistan win ????

If yes .... u mean to say the Betting business is gonna influence the outcome of this match ????

I personally don't think so ..... India clear favorites but it's a funny old game isn't it

If Pakistan win will it be blamed on Bookies ???? If yes who gonna bore the brunt of it ????

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

I think only one of them should go. both don't need to. It looks childish and immature

one of them should go to the SF game and if we make it to the Final, the other can visit later

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

umm....there will be bets on whether tehy will go or not..and which one will go..

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

Don't mind Gilani showing up but I don't want Zardari cheering us on, asshole. On the other hand, if someone could get him killed there it would be a victory for Pakistan regardless of the match result.

Re: Indian PM invites Zardari and Gillani to watch the Semi Final!

^LOL... btw...Gillani is no less f'ed up compared to zardari..
