malaysia in afc asian cup 2007 (part 2)

welcome back to Malaysia's football industry~

after blaming about the heights. What else did we blame??

China have players who currently playing in English Premier League.
Example:


Li Tie and Sun Ji Hai who play for Everton and Manchester City.

okay, maybe it is true also about players who play in foreign leagues..but, come on..our country is a developing country. We got KLIA, we got Sepang F1 track, we got KLCC, we got Bukit Jalil , we got Petaling Street , we got Sungei Wang , we got Proton,we got dato Siti, we got dato Michelle Yeoh, we got Nicole David, we got Pontianak Sunda Malam, we got Sepet, we got nasi lemak, we got Ipoh white coffee, we got longest satay grilling, biggest moon cake....

we got tiger everywhere...our jersey is tiger, logo got tiger, car got tiger, bank got tiger..but why we play like kitty cat??maybe we are cats who pretend to be tiger(someone like cats so much)...
you blame your players are short...you blame opponent have players who play better football at other country....but have you ever blame that you are capable to develop it but you didn't?? did you ever accept other people's critic on you?? have you ever consider about other people's idea to improve it?? have you ever think that other people's idea is better then yours?? NEVER!!!!

you never ever do that, always stick to your so called good ideas...always think that something miracle will happen without working hard...always think that the reason behind failure after failure is luck was not there...everything is bullshit!!!!

our ex-PM said before, why even country who facing economic problem like Ghana...they are able to play in World Cup, they play very hard during African Nation World Cup qualifier. They played well in World Cup group stage and even qualify for quarter-final but unfortunately loss to 3-0 Brazil.

okay...don't talk about World Cup which I think is a big big dream for Malaysia (unless we host it~ haha)

let's come back nearer..Asia~

according to AFC Asian Cup official website...our football association formed at 1933, it has been 74 years since then..we have been participated in Asian Cup for 3 times including the latest one..
our highest achievement in Asian Cup was only group stage in 1976, 1980 and 2007.

Our highest honour in football industry were SEA Games Champions for 4 times!!!! 1961, 1977 , 1979 and 1989...after that, we never qualify for it anymore (unless we host SEA game as well)

we didn't qualify ourself to play in Asian Cup..but due to the co-host thingy..so we have this chance..A VERY RARE chance~ but we already used to it about not grabbing rare opportunity firm, we like to let it go just like that...we don't appreciate chances other people give it to us...being seeded as lowest ranking among 16 countries in Asian Cup 2007...we are the only team that didn't even get 1 point out of 3 games and conceded 12 goals in repay by scoring just 1....how sad is that??

we need to go through all the tough test before playing in bigger stage..automatic qualifying is not a good thing for us...look at Ghana, they qualified themselve to World Cup and loss to Brazil 3-0 only...5 times world champion against some unknown African country (but they are well known now)

look at ourself..we loss to China and Uzbekistan 5-1 and 5-0..what does that show??

if that don't shows anything...how about the latest Asian Cup winner Iraq??

their country are facing politic problems for the passed few years...everyday here sudden bombing, there suicide bombing...as what paper said, "Iraq stars play through pain"

they have to leave everything that happen on their country and concentrate on football..eventually, with the high spirit of them..they won their first ever Asian Cup by defeating Saudi Arabia(3 times Asian Cup winner) 1-0.

Not just that, Iraq's players have to buy their own jersey in order to play in this competition. No sponsorship for them on this competition.

rare incident in official competition..they wore two different designed jersey to play.( observe their front number)

other than that, 7 players who still playing football in Iraq league, basically got no income at all due to the politic crisis they are facing...

still not enough?? this is the best of the best that all of us have to salute them, through out the competition..3 player's family member being murdered in several bombing incident back in Iraq, they cope up very well and win the game for those who sacrifice their life...

the question is, we dont face politic problem..we don't have bombing incidents, we got good sponsorship, our players got paid, our players don't need to buy own jersey, our players have no other worry but to concentrate on football, yet they play like shit~





hopefully what FAM is trying to do now will work and we can see the changes in near future...




hope that this consistent performance will maintain in bigger stage competition and start win some trophy!!!
a sign that should place on every single corner of Malaysia~


MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!!
