can u hear the Singapore Roar?

Remember the days of the Malaysia cup?

Malek Awab on the flank.

Sundram and Fandi scoring goals.

Not to forget to 2 hired hands Abbas and Allistar.

The Kallang stadium, full of passionate Singapore supporters.

Back then there was a certain love for the nation.

Singapore (although a nation on its own) played as if it was a state / club.

Although there were foreign players, the team was at least 85% Singaporean unlike the mockery the Singapore team is now.

The Roar of the fans together with the Kallang wave was magnificent.

The thumping of feet causing a tremor-like effect.

The wave swept through the stands.

And the spirit of this football loving nation in my view has been broken with the Nations view on improving the football squad so as to qualify for the Fifa World Cup sometime soon.

I would say yesterday was a slap on the face of Singapore football (or what Singapore football has become).

Thailand managed a 1 all draw with the Liverpool. The same Thailand team that Singapore has apparently managed to level. Yet, Singapore gets trashed 5-0 by this same Liverpool team. Yes the ball is round. but such a drastic difference in results? Embarrassing if u ask me.

(above: pic of Singapore (Liverpool) fans)

Liverpool were taking a walk in the park. They had above 80% of the possession. I mean seriously!! 80 fucking percent?!?!?!

The old team managed to at least slip 1 goal past Manchester United’s defence. And this so called “improved” version can’t even do that?

(click here to see Manchester 8 Singapore 1 goals)

True they would say they conceded less… but honestly ..do u actually believe that Liverpool couldn’t have scored another goal if they had not chosen to do so?

If this wasn’t proof enough that the love for the National team has died, then here’s another thing. The fan’s (Singaporeans) were cheering Liverpool each time a goal passed our goalie and hit the back of the net.

I am not a Liverpool fan but I don’t deny they are a good team. But still as a nation aren’t you supposed to do better? The problem here I would say is too many foreign guns in the National team = no sense of pride.

Liverpool wasn’t walking alone but Singapore clearly was… even though it was their own backyard.
