Wanted to watch the champions league match between Man Utd and Porto but was feeling too tired. In the end had to check the score online when i woke up. woohh.... Man Utd has crashed out of the CL. Joel will be so sad .. haha. Now its up to Arsenal to show Alex how to play real soccer in both CL and FA cup as well as the domestic league.
Something caught my attention recently in the news: the match between Singapore and Japan for the world cup qualifying round will be played in a smal 6000 capacity stadium instead of the National stadium! This was really a disaster and really dampen the soccer excitement in Singapore. Talking about Goal 2010, I think Soccer in Singapore is really bullshit. I really dont see any efforts or time in trying to promote the game in order to reach such an unrealistic goal. Its true that SIngapore will surely be thrashed by Japan, BUT think of the number of people who will definitely go down to watch. How long has it been besided NATIONAL DAY has the National Stadium been fully packed? As for rugby, haha maybe a few thousands would mind going down to catch a look... In the end, fans like us are the ones who loses out. How many of us knows the soccer stars names such as Nakata or Inamoto better then any of the Rugby players which i honestly admit that i dont. Lets just hope that the 6000 fans who go watch the match would not be more the the fans who go down to catch tehe live rugby at National Stadium.
Alternatively, change the goal to GOAL 2100 la.... its good to aim high, but we singaporean cant cope with the pressure. Take the instance of the secondary students who commited suicide just because he was found out of dating a girl in his class. We are so used to getting what we wanted and enjoying success that we often cannot accept failure anymore. Or instead of asking teams from japan or china to join the S-league, why not we join their league instead bah... wasting our money and creating a scene debating on the budget for 2004 would just be going down the drain.
By the way, Anime-Otakus rules this week. Seems to have new episode of Prince Of Tennis everyday. COol....Keep it up!!!
