Harimau Muda – You Are The Special Ones :)
Thank you for ending the year of 2010 with a big bang. Good job to the boys, coach K.Rajagopal, the backroom staff, the medical team etc for bringing back the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup to Malaysia after 21 years. The Malaysian team won 4 – 2 on aggregate. Thrashing the Indonesians 3 – 0 in the first leg at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil has been fantastic. Even though, we were beaten 2 -1 on the return leg at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, it was still ecstatic. This achievement is a major turnaround for our Malaysian football industry. The team has made something out of nothing. They turn themselves from laughing stocks to national heroes.
Nonetheless, the government should not lavish these players with titles of Datuk or Tan Sri yet. Their age is way too young to hold these prestigious awards and frankly speaking; no doubt it is a very proud result – still…it is a very small victory in a relatively very small scale competition. It is not the World Cup yet.
Malaysia has enjoyed several key sporting triumphs last year; the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India and the Asian Games in Guangzhou China. Malaysia, we are going places :)
