Credit to Raddy for giving belief to the young lions.
He should be given a PBM for his contribution to singapore soccer and making millions for FAS within a WEEK.
The whole team deserves the cup for their belief and ability to sustain intense pressure.
Time for one young lion player to wash his underwear cos the tournament is over and it STINKS !
No credit for the clown poodle busking for glory only when the lions won the cup.
Hope they can continue to work hard to make sg team the king pin of soccer in asean. -
nope. it wasnt offside.. it was a legitimate goal disallowed.Originally posted by orionlight:very obvious offside la
ref was damn biased..
1. disallowed goal.
2. many many fouls ignored.. ie. when alam shah was brought down from behind just outside the penalty box
3. no 2nd yellow card for what could hv been a red card offence cos he didnt wanna send thai player off
4. no yellow card for headbutt
5. yellow card to indra on bench (WTF?!)
but i guess he did it for his own safety..
he still wants to get out alive. -
i feel singapore was lucky to win.
-
not really... i think they deserved it.Originally posted by used:i feel singapore was lucky to win.
they defended well. besides, if amri had not scored, we should still have been one up cos of the wrongly disallowed goal. -
well at least lionel had a coupla maevelous saves.Originally posted by OO_OO_OO:they defended well.
and that guy who threw himself infront of the ball to deflect it upwards. -
defended well???? i lost count of how many mistakes our captain made!Originally posted by OO_OO_OO:not really... i think they deserved it.

the disallowed goal was a tough call for the linesman. cos at first view it really looked offside.
even though amri goal looked good on cameras, he just took a wild swing for the shot hoping it would be on target. it would either be one specular goal or the ball would ballooned over the bar. lucky for us, it was the former -
I honestly feel that the Lions truly didn't play their best tonight. Mistakes, poor clearence, delaying with the ball, lack of communication with one another...
Perhaps its the overbearing atmosphere away from home; all I can commend on is that final strike which is pure brilliance (or pure luck).
ASEAN Cup, so we won it (again).
Well done to the players for their uninspiring draw today. -

After some thoughts, that's how I feel. -
how come is alam shar get mvp?
i would have thought lionel lewis was the more important and outstanding one? -
I think goal keepers can never win MVP unless u have an error-free tournament. He made an error against Malaysia. While for strikers, you can miss 100 times, but if you score in important games, then you are a hero defintely.Originally posted by hisoka:how come is alam shar get mvp?

Conclusion is that for GK, people remember 1 clear mistake more than 100 saves. For strikers, people remember a Cup Final winner more than 100 missed sitters. That's the difference.
For me, I would give to Lionel Lewis as well. -
Nope it wasnt offside.Originally posted by orionlight:very obvious offside la
People who understand the full details of an offside will know that it isnt an offside. (although it looks like one to a newbie) -
Hullo Alam Shah is more outstanding overall. Lionel lewis can at the most win man of the match award for last night. Stop making judgement if you never watch all the matches singapore play.
And Lionel Lewis did win the MVP award in the tiger cup 2 years ago. Stop your bragging about GK not winning anything when you dunno anything. -
Delete this post. Thanks.

Straits Times reported today that a replay of the match showed that it wasnt an offside
But hey, we didnt walk out anyway -
but at least sg won the cup despite all odds.Originally posted by OO_OO_OO:nope. it wasnt offside.. it was a legitimate goal disallowed.

i nvr like tis team but they proven they can take all the pressure playing on a ground where they might be greet by tanks outside the stadium. -
don't know leh, i admit i only watched the last 4 matches. but from thsoe 4 i see lionel lewis mroe deserving of the mvp.Originally posted by HyuugaNeji:Hullo Alam Shah is more outstanding overall.

I'm only saying that why GK cannot win MVP if they make mistakes like what Lionel Lewis did against Malaysia. This kind of mistakes, usually the judges remember very clearly. I don't understand why also.Originally posted by HyuugaNeji:Hullo Alam Shah is more outstanding overall. Lionel lewis can at the most win man of the match award for last night.

Like Hisoka, sorry to say I also only watch 4 matches.. The semis onwards. Also more impressed with Lionel Lewis. -

Saved quite a lot of difficult goals, giving the PRC a hard time
He is quite good, if not the best. -
I think it's rather clear even before the match started that the Lions were the underdogs to begin with.Originally posted by RvnRooRon84:I honestly feel that the Lions truly didn't play their best tonight. Mistakes, poor clearence, delaying with the ball, lack of communication with one another...
Perhaps its the overbearing atmosphere away from home; all I can commend on is that final strike which is pure brilliance (or pure luck).
The Thais were going all out to take the fight to the Lions, and certainly caught the off balance as they were pure pwnage for most of the 1 half. They had every reason and motivation to equalize and I suppose the Lions just weren't ready for that kind of elephant onslaught and were put on the defensive for most of the match. Certainly something that can be improved.
However if you look at it in another way, somehow the (at times jury-rigged) defence managed to hold together against a regional powerhouse and fend them off long enough for us to sneak in the shot that mattered. I attribute the holding of the shaky defence in both parts individual brillance on the Lion's part to not rout under pressure, the poor finishing of the thais who could bring the fight up, but just lack the edge of skill to convert their chances, and often pure dumb luck that had our boys defend on the line at one instance.
In the end the Thais played brilliant football, but were hampered by their lack of a polished finish, and their own extremely offensive way of taking the fight to the lion's half proved to be their undoing as the fortunes of the game turned for just an moment, enough for the Lions to make their better finishing then the Thais count. The Thais just aren't used to getting balls netted against them and I suppose it proved to a flaw in what is their otherwise superior style.
So all in all a brilliant match, the Lions could still be improved but they did go up against a traditionally superior foe and proved that they can (shakily) hold their ground and even win the day. All things considered fair and the refs are error-free, even if the Thais had not gotten that penalty slapped on them we still would have won given we netted the ball more times then them.
So in conclusion there is ample reason to celebrate, but of course we should expect a better team the next time round! -
Great strategy, soak up attacks and conserve energy in first half, ATTACK in 2nd half...
But kinda risky, sekali Thais up 3 goals in 1st half...
All in all, ROAR LIONS ROAR! Welldone!
