My Game of Life

Thursday, June 26, 2008

Although it a bit late, the highlights for the return leg of the Lebanon vs Singapore match, we deserved to win just as we create more chances just as what Raddy said. This Wold Cup campaign is considered successful for Singapore as they got 6 points in as many games although all points came from Lebanon. Please bear in mind, we were the lowest seeded team in our group and this is the first time we came so far since the new format were introduced.

Let us move on from the World Cup qualifiers, the next pressing mission for Singapore is to retain their crown as the King of ASEAN. Who know maybe Australia may be tempted to compete in this year edition? Their domestic based players can do with more international exposure. If Australia participate in the tournament held this year end, it will generate more publicity and interest in the competition since it starting to get a bit boring with the winner being either Singapore or Thailand since the start of the biennial competition in 1996. Another aim more important than reatining the title is to qualify for Asian Cup 2011, only qualification for the second time since 1984 ( Singapore qualified as host) will prove to the world that Singapore football have reached a new level.

Next in the spotlight is th Euro semi final between Spain and Russia tomorrow morning at 2.45 am. I usually have reservations watching late matches involving teams I do not support as I'm afraid the match will get boring. However I have faith in Guus Hiddink's team since a number of the Russian players were from the UEFA Cup winning team of Zenit St Peterberg. This will be a cracker and I tip Russia to win this match through extra time and go on all the way to win their second Euro tittle, their first since since the Soviet Union era.
