amazing

I was at the National Stadium yesterday... the atmosphere was brilliant... I remembered those days when I was just 10, 11 and 12... my dad would bring me and my sister to the stadium to watch the Lions take on Malaysian states team... before they had the M League.. they had those div1 and div 2 thingy.. it sucks... when Singapore lost to Kedah during the M Cup final back in 1993... but I was there at Shah Alam Stadium in 1994 to see Fandi Ahmad lift the Malaysia Cup for the Singapore for the final time. The stadium looked like it belongs to Singapore.. I still remembered that 3/4 of the stadium was filled with Singapore Fans... and the Pahang Fans left after 3-0... we thrashed them 4-0...
As I was saying... I really liked the atmosphere at National Stadium yesterday... the match could have been better... i don't think Singapore team played very well... the passing wasn't good... and it was obviously they didn't communicate with each other... the defence...i'm not going to mention names... but I was glad that at the earlier matches some defender was dropped cos he wasn't good enuff to be on the first 11... just too bad that Aide Iskandar got the red in the dying minutes in M'sia leg of the semi's... the Malaysians on the other hand had a good thing going... just no luck for them... it's sad that a good match had to end with penalty kicks... i'm not a fan of penalty kicks...n yesterday's kicks... almost gave me a heart attack...
I don't know if I'll be at the stadium again for the first leg of the finals... all I hope is that.. if Singapore really wanna win the AFC... they have to buck up their game... cos if they are going to meet the Thai's.. with the same attitude or match fitness like when they met Malaysia... the Cup is not making it back to Singapore guys...
