Japan 1-0 Singapore
-
I swear I shouted at the top of my voice when Itimi Dickson shot was superbly saved by the Japanese gk in the last minute of the match. I really thought it was going in. But ... haizz ... lose again ... but credit goes to the performance ... even though it's a second string Japanese side. But lose is still a lost. I'm sure the coach isn't happy with the result. But kudos to Singapore for putting up a brave fight rather than Vincent Subramaniam's Singapore side that lost to Japan 3-0 a few years back where they play with 2 sweeper and only so many defenders. Anyone remember that match? I think Rezal Hassan make so many saves, more than what Hassan Sunny or Lionel Lewis have to make during the 2 matches with Japan this year.
But yeah, I guess Singapore is improving bit by bit. But I still think it's a long way to go before Singapore can ever reach an Asian Cup Final. They may be able to match the ASEAN team. But it will take a few years, maybe the next batch of players from the Sports School and COE to ever achieve a respectable target. The current team is good and youthful, but not good enough to go up another level i suppose.
Sleague need to improve more. Though I support the Sleague, I wonder why the commentator say Sleague is a very good league. They are just average like any Malaysian sides. Clueless man.
Sleague really need to invest more on youth. Youth is the only solution I can think of to improve our local standard. For that, everyone needs to be patient. We need to train children from as young as 7 or 8yrs old, not at 15 years old. By then it's already too late.
The above is just my thoughts.

wow.. and everyone was saying we'd be hammered for 6 or 7
not too bad! and battling too!

Oh dear.
What a pity. 1-Nil.
You know what, i saw the game. but only for the first 10mins. because after japan scored i gave up. Its pretty good that they managed to not concede after that early goal.
the foreign talent scheme is slowly paying off.together with the new crop of young lions,there is only one way to go and thats up! they'll improve for sure with more games.but as much as improvements are important,getting results is equally essential. Tiger cup, lets hope they do well. -

sometimes it takes lose to win

They've done it before, and I don't see any reason not to aim to repeat that.Originally posted by 798:can they go that far? -
Its sad that by losing 1 nil means GOOD result to Singapore.
Are we setting our marks too low or that's where we should be? -
imagine how we humiliated we should be that we still lose after japan coach claimed he wont be recalling all his first team players and will be calling some exnational stars to play.
A loss is a loss is a loss is a loss. -
lucky only 1-0
not so bad... -
We''ve gotta start somewhere right?
