born in singapore?
stop living in the past.. if i were part of that team, i wouldnt want your support anyway.
especially since u deem my teammates as impure. Guess what? Those "impurities" probably love this country more than you do. -

Please read the link I have posted in Page 3, and you will get what I mean. It's ok I will explain a little bit here. Like I have said, after some thoughts, I was harsh on that statement. What I feel is, what will happen next. Will the FT stay here and help the locals to grow as better footballers? I'm afraid that (just afraid) after their football careers are over, they will leave here and forget about helping in the football here. Is the FAS's plan on getting this batch of "established" FT to help in the future of our football (helping the youths I mean)? If yes, that's great. I would be the first one to admit that my thoughts initially are wrong.Originally posted by OO_OO_OO:define singaporean.

If the plan is to continue giving citizenships to "established" FT footballers as the solution to bring up our standard of football, then no thanks. I don't want 11 "established then given citizenships" footballers starting all our International games. I will never accept and support the team, even if I get bashed or whatever. I want to support Singapore National Team, not Singapore Football Club. -

SINGAPORE, Feb 6 (Reuters) - With a third Asean championship title in the bag, Singapore's soccer chiefs are sure of one thing -- their heart belongs to Raddy.
Inspirational coach Raddy Avramovich led his charges to a dramatic two-legged victory over Thailand at the weekend for Singapore's third regional title and the city state's soccer officials are desperate to hang on to their man.
Avramovich, though, has been cagey about his plans ever since Sunday's second-leg clincher in Bangkok.
"Two years is a long time and you never know," was the 57-year-old's enigmatic reply to reporters' questions on whether he would be at the helm in 2009 when Singapore defend their crown.
Avramovich did say, however, that his immediate priorities were the 2008 Olympic qualifiers, the team's challenge at the SEA Games in December in Thailand and preparations for Singapore's 2010 World Cup qualifiers, which kick off early next year.
Ho Peng Kee is also in no doubt what the Football Association of Singapore's priority must be. "Raddy has done well for Singapore and has helped us remain champions of South-east Asia for the second consecutive tournament," the body's president told Singapore's Today tabloid.
"We have something good going and we will have to do what it takes to keep him in Singapore."Ho fully endorsed Avramovich's policy of pushing his team to challenge ever stronger opposition.
"Raddy has always said Â… they have to be exposed to top level games. He was right. The experience of playing top teams like Iraq and China and going to the Asian Games in Doha (has) helped the boys.
"It gave them the belief that they would prevail and instilled in them a never-say-die attitude."
