Palestine vs Singapore (Soccer)

[mojito]

Actually I dont give a fuck about Schooling swimming gold.

Spirit of sport is NOT to celebrate winners. Sure.

But certainly not the goal of sports. Lol!

Aiyah might as well say spirit of life is not to succeed also lah.

Bro. We are but spectators of a performance. Still can be a good show if the hero didn't score the girl. Your definition of life is too narrow! Too young lah you!

In that case you should be very proud of the Singapore National Football team. No? Got spirit!

 

[nayr69sg]

How has those medals benefited Singapore? Bragging rights for braggart Loooong?

Spirit of sports mah! Thats how it benefits SG!

 

[red amoeba]

Singapore soccer is a joke. Together w the ass league. Disband the team and focus on sepak tekraw.

 

[Loofydralb]

The good old days when we were actually proud of being Singaporean. We loved our true blue Singaporean boys in blue. We were also colour-blind, no chinks, no shitskins, no suicide bombers. When players held full-time jobs and yet played their hearts out for our national team when called up. When Admiral was the jersey sponsor. I miss those days so much. 1977 when we won the Malaysia Cup.

And who was the ruling party that spoiled the race relations with endless race based national policies?

The moment the Malaysian cup tournament was scrapped, the SG football team went downhill from there. It got from bad to worse which is now.
After the match against Palestine yesterday, does the SG players n Co need to quarantine for 21days upon their returned? According to b&w, they must.

 

[Sideswipe]

nobody cares about the SG football team. local football is a money losing business. they simply depend on SG Pools to survive.

 

[maxxi]

Btw the only Chinese player in the team didn't touch ball for the first 10 minutes.

 

[CHAOTIC]

Where is Steven tan?

You can thank short fart Mah Bow Tan for that hubris.

Lions lose 4-0 to Palestine on resumption of World Cup qualifiers​

The Covid-19 pandemic forced the Lions to wait 18 months for international football to resume, but it took just 18 minutes for their return to start going horribly wrong as they were outclassed 4-0 by Palestine on Friday morning (June 4, Singapore time).

It was the biggest defeat since coach Tatsuma Yoshida took over in May 2019 and the Lions’ heaviest competitive loss since another 4-0 reverse by Syria in November 2013.

The Japanese tactician conceded it was the “worst performance” of his tenure and it left his side with a “nearly zero” per cent chance of finishing second in the group.

The second-placed team has a chance of joining the eight group winners in the next round of Asia’s World Cup qualifiers, which also comes with a spot at the 2023 Asian Cup in China.

But just 18 minutes into their World Cup Group D qualifier at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Singapore conceded the first of two penalties.

Madhu Mohana brought down the Lions of Canaan’s danger man Oday Dabbagh, 22, with a clumsy challenge inside the box, prompting referee Mohammed Abdulla Hassan to point to the spot.

The ref repeated that action on 30 minutes when Madhu’s centre-back partner Irfan Fandi handled a cross into the area.

On both occasions, Tamer Seyam sent his spot-kick to the left of Izwan Mahbud’s goal and into the net, although the custodian was unlucky not to keep out the first attempt, having managed to get a hand to it.

Sandwiched between Seyam’s strikes was another goal in the 23rd minute.

A cross from the left was flicked on by Irfan into the path of Dabbagh, the Kuwaiti Premier League’s top scorer this season, whose shot squirmed under Izwan and into the net.

Izwan, who struggled for playing time at Samut Prakan City this season having not featured in Thai League 1 since last November, looked jittery at times.

In the ninth minute, he dallied on a back-pass by stand-in captain Yasir Hanapi, allowing Dabbagh to close him down, but thankfully the ball spun away from the attacker.

Nineteen minutes into the second half, the 30-year-old spilled a routine cross from Mohammed Khalil, but then recovered to palm it out on the goal line.

Said Yoshida: “He played better than my expectations. He couldn’t play for a long time but he’s our goalkeeper. I’m not disappointed in his performance.”

Izwan’s teammates did not fare much better, failing to muster a shot on target as the absence of chief striker Ikhsan Fandi, centre-back Safuwan Baharudin (both through injury) and skipper Hariss Harun (personal reasons) was sorely felt.

The trio represent a central spine of Yoshida’s line-up boasting a combined 215 caps. They also scored four of the Lions’ seven goals in qualifying, with Norway-based Ikhsan accounting for three of those strikes.

The Lions could not add to their goals-for column but defender Yaser Hamed added to his tally against them, having also found the net in the Lions of Canaan’s 2-1 defeat at Jalan Besar Stadium in September 2019.

He wrapped up the scoring in the 85th minute, stabbing home a rebound after Izwan saved an Abdallatif Albahdari header from a corner.

YOSHIDA TAKES RESPONSIBILITY​

With the comfortable win, Palestine climbed above Singapore into third place on goal difference, although the Lions have a game in hand. Both teams have seven points, with the Lions having played six matches.

Yemen are bottom on five points from five matches. Saudi Arabia top the table with 11 points from five games, with Uzbekistan two points adrift having played the same number of matches.

Said Yoshida: “The boys tried to do something but in the first half, they were a bit nervous. I’m very disappointed, they can do more. We couldn’t show our full potential... I’m very sorry for Singapore fans...

“We have to play under stress, we are professionals. But it is not on them, it’s because of my management. It’s on me.”

Next up for Singapore is Uzbekistan on June 8 and Saudi Arabia on June 12.

Jackpot machines.

You can thank short fart Mah Bow Tan for that hubris.

He's now the chairman of Yellow Pages and recently appointed Adviser/Director of a new tech company.

Is it Lim Tien Jit, an old RI boy?

Yes, it is him. But I could not make the trip to Merdeka Stadium, caught it on live TV instead. You must've enjoyed the electrifying atmosphere there.

Very exciting game.
Took the bus there and back to SG.
Lim Tien Jit and Quah Kim Song were team mates at RI, Bras Basah Road.
I was in Sec One.

 

[countryman]

1977 SG beat Penang 3-2 to win the Boleh Land Cup. Nasir Jalil (crazy horse) scored twice n Kim Song. Penang was a very good team n they had 2 star players, the Bakar brothers, Isa n Ali.

You guys are comparing mickey mouse tourney of malaysian state teams where sg had to depend on bribes to win the tinpots, vs world cup qualifying games.

Yeah someone needs to revamp sg football. I dont think the national team is made up of Sg's absolute best players, but you can't pick the chinese if they dont play regularly. You can pick good part-time chinese players.... sales guy by day, footballer by night... but their lack of regular game time will show. Part-timers like Quah kim song etc are good to play against penang, melaka, tioman island but not internationals.

I am not a football man so i dont have a solution.
