NOTHING TO SHOUT ABOUT

As always, I struggle to comprehend why Malaysian sports fans
going gaga over Malaysia qualifying for the AFF Suzuki Cup final-
a low grade soccer tourney where poor soccer countries
participated.

Isn't a shameful that we took 14 long years to qualify for the final in a small
unworthy tourney? How long then will Malaysia need to take for
us to qualify in the finals of the Commonwealth Games or for that
matter just qualifying for the World Cup? Perhaps another 3 more
decades or another next 3 generations?

Football fans must remember that the present soccer standard is
a far cry from the golden years of 70's and early 80's where we were
one of the powerhouse in soccer in South East Asia region in the
company of South Korea and Japan.

Look at South Korea now, they go the World Cup is like going for
breakfast. No sweat.
But Malaysia today have to fight to the last drop of sweat
even facing soccer minnows like Vietnam!

Seeing the sports minister and PM Najib getting soooo happy
and excited over nothing, indicates that these people know next
to nothing about the soccer standard in the country!
