The horror of Singapore soccer
About a week ago, I went to watch my first Singapore international soccer match for a very very long time. Haven't been to one since the malaysia cup days (the so called glory days). I went to watch..... Singapore VS Uzbekistan.
For the vast majority who wouldn't bother about the triviality of Singapore soccer, we lost 3-7. Probably the most one sided game I have ever seen, including primary school matches and secondary school matches. To say Singapore was absymal would be a gross understatement.
I don't just watch the matches, I analyse them. All the players except a few attacking ones were shitty, like a 2/10 rating. But the most blame has to go onto the defenders, midfielders and the MANAGER. Singapore's coach decided that Singapore was good enough to attack uzbekistan, so you could see how many players were attacking, and most of them not tracking back. They were almost in anticipation of a failed Uzbek attack and waiting to counter attack in turn. It was like Tampines Rovers going all out attack against err Liverpool. Sure they might nick a goal or two (haha liverpool sucks), but everytime Uzbek attacked, they scored. Fast, clean and clinical.
This match was not only embarrassing but I reckon Singapore might have lost quite a few fans as well. I can bet that this wasn't based on the result entirely, but the lack of effort shown by the players. Simple elementary errors combined with laziness and lack of determination just proved to the world what a joke Singapore 2010 world cup ambitions are. If they let in 7 goals againsts Uzbekistan, what will the Brazils and Argentinas do to them? Concentrate on sailing, swimming and table tennis and limit the buying of 'PRs' to those sports I say.
