Wow... i was back in the National Stadium in Singapore a few days ago with my old pal, Jiancai. We were watching the Asean Football Games Final between Singapore and Thailand. Although its played at a relatively slow speed compared to the games in EPL, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as it was our national team playing. Go Lions!!!
The game started slowly and we were chatting about old times just like in the Malaysia Cup days when the stadium is filled to the brime and overflowing with supporters.. when tickets were touted outside at black market rates... where the curry puffs were cold but delicious.... ah... those were the days....
....suddenly, we say singapore on their first attack, smooth passing followed by a great cross down the right flank.. i think mhd ridhuan got to the ball, passed to Indra shadan and he took one shot, rebounded, 2 shot, rebounded, ball broke loose to Noh Alam Sham. and Wham Bam!! he scores with his right foot!!! the whole stadium choke and shoke as 55,000 people screamed GOAL in unison.... WOW... i tell you the feeling is great!!!....
It was so nostalgic..... and it was great to have my old pal beside me..... wish I had the whole gang with me... but well... as we grow up, we have less and less time to keep up with friends... especially in Singapore....
back to the game.. we controlled the game well, but unfortunately, shortly after the break, the Thais equalised...... all was quiet then until the 82 min when the referee awarded a dubious penalty to Singapore! All hell broke loose....!!! the Thais actually walked off the pitch!!!!
WHAT DRAMA!!!! some more on the last time that the national team is playing in the National Stadium before it is demolished.....
after 12 amazing mins where the stupid officials, and the Thai Administrators talk and talk and talked.... they finally came back to the game..... M. Farudiin was calm enough to blast in the penalty... and the rest they say is history!!!
hahaha....
what a night to remember...
Go Lions!! i Hope you thrash the Thais in the second leg and bring back the cup!!!
