With such a one-sided scoreline, Singaporeans can now see the gulf in class between genuine world-class players and world class pretenders.
Competing with the best needs to be on a level in all places. Technique isn't good enough simply because the Australians' SIZE and INVENTIVENESS is something we lack, so much so that they brazenly swagger past us without raising a sweat.
The team needs to be taking the right food supplements and high-carbo diets to help improve our physical attributes to stand a chance of competing with the best. More exposure is also a must.
Some myopic locals believe sending the teams to get trashed was a waste of taxpayer's money since they never stood a chance for a medal. But that is naivity and empty pride talking. To beat the best you have to compete with the best, study them and learn from the defeats, however large the drubbing may be.
It's also magnimous for the Australian Netball coach to apologise for the humilating scoreline inflicted upon us.
That's something else we can learn. -
yay!! we can be proud of local shooter on shaw ming
-
Hmm, but most of the shooters never did well, i expected them to do better than this u know ...

Its worrisome - we have a tendency to buy sportsmanship.
What happended to those days whereby the pride and honour of sportmanship exists? We are not ready to train sportsperson up from scratch but more so we purchase them off the rack. Kinda defeats the purpose of going for such games.
We are offering so much incentives for foreign talents to come into the sporting arena, but are we really instilling much values into the younger generation? No doubt Singapore is mainly made up of foreigners, but just take a look the medal tally, majority of medal won are from foreign talents - is this how team Singapore going to be the best? By "inviting" those who defeated us at those games?
Just my 2 cents worth. -
sg are going to bcome a foreign nation if this keeps on going..
imports players and give PR..
but at least the have a good showing
btw..how much sg pay for a godl medal?
msia pays rm 80k for gold
rm40k silvrm20k bronze..
that's a lot.. haiz -
like SGD$70K for 1 gold medal. We'll guess our coach in SSC has already started talking to the Indian nationals who beat us in Men's badminton
Next commonwealth games we are going to have them. LOL. Irony of life - buying sportsmanship -

I think Singapore has also started importing Chinese foreign talent for fencing.
Think there was an article recently in the papers.
Soon, all Singapore's sports persons will be foreign imported.
