Went to the National Stadium to watch the Singapore vs Thailand Asian Cup Qualifier last night with Christopher, Gengzhi, Suvichak and his thai friend (Lek?). Like Chak himself put it, it was probably a case of behind enemy lines for them cos they sat with us in the Singapore fans section lol.
Before complaining about the match, i shall first complain about something else. WASNT THE NATIONAL STADIUM SUPPOSED TO BE RETIRED EVER SINCE THE AUSTRALIAN TEAM CAME FOR THE "FINAL" MATCH?! And then there was the match against Vietnam, the match against the Brazilian Olympic team (That one had Anderson and Ronaldinho and Diego so i could forgive), THEN THE LIVERPOOL ONE TOO (maybe i can forgive a leeetle cos of Torres hahaha) But seriously come on FAS when the hell are u guys going to stop coming up wih excuses to use the Kallang Stadium -_- If any of you had bothered to watch the freaking match on television, i'm sure u could see the north and south stands being almost totally empty. Besides that, the raucous cheering u might have heard from the television broadcast was all from the Thai fans. Singaporean fans were back at their best, jeering everything from the referee to their own national team players. Although i definitely agreed with jeering at the referee cos he was just a bloody bastard. Some of the fans even started leaving when Singapore were 2-0 down. It was a terrible disgrace, although we did get some entertainment from the crazy girl who was like no more than 7 years old screaming vulgarities, along with her parents, as well as this funny guy seated on our right. Our $2 worth was complete with experiencing the national cheer live XD hahaha
Singapore were absolutely terrible in the first half, giving the ball away needlessly, just whacking the ball up front and praying that Duric could do something on his own. Sadly to say, he couldn't and we were dead after just ten minutes with the first goal from thailand. Second half, wasn't much better until Khairul Amri came on and gave us a bit of attacking flair. But we had Sharil Ishak too, albeit having less then 10 touches of the ball in the second half. Thailand deserved the victory every single bit, playing fantastic as a team and finishing their chances as well.
Joke of the night to me was probably the Thai national team giving away a foul throw-_- how the hell was that guy selected if he couldnt even take a throw legally!
Overall a disappointing yet slightly entertaining match at the stadium, final score Singapore 1-3 Thailand.
England were also dominated by Brazil, but they came away with a very flattering 1-0 defeat. It should have been several more than that. But they could claim that they only had 2 first choice players, but still a poor match for Rooney's first time as England Captain. Spain beat Argentina 2-1 thanks to xabi alonso, whom i still argue that i always said that liverpool would die without, scoring two goals.
I really need FIFA 10, am dying waiting to get my hands on it. Sigh. 5c36 Chalet later at downtown east costa sands! Hope it'll be fun... Anyone wanna crash? lol dunno what we're exactly going to do later, lol
