I was watching the match, woah, a great match, just when hope was lost, it was there.
Home united facebook has shared the match in the link below.
I caught the match from the late first half, normal, after that saw a red card, with global attacking, then home scoring a great free kick.
But i will like to look at facts and scores for today, the scorers are not local, for home, for global i would say yes, expect the worst not better, so what is the end result, a draw or they win, handicap.
The team from global has now caught up with Singapore, they are at a high level now, sometimes even better than Singapore, they have a good league set up, youths running up and down for the team.
In Singapore i guess only home united have the youth direction, in short, we are at the level of the azkals. Good luck to the Singaporeans youths, the upcoming sea games would be a good gauge again, or are we at even lower than that.
The time has come to say about things again, about football that is.
The young lions kanna trash by the white swans. The video link is below.
In my memory, big score lines, not many, but many are from the white swans, one thing we can learn from the Japanese is courage and most importantly not passion but soul.
Courage to play outside their comfort level, out of their country, out of their culture, the older batch may have problems, the younger ones now do not. They are Japanese, once you hear the Japanese word, you think of honor, glory, selflessness. That is just one side, they are humans also, they also lie, cheat, steal, do not forget about the adult videos which are world famous. Media plays a part of how people see the world, how they define it, is how they view, simple. You will be shocked, the most incorruptible countries are not the Japanese, it is singapore or the European countries, if you have dealings or worked with ang mo and japanese, you have in mind a better comparative of the real situation.
I am just trying to say that, some things work, some things not, it we look at the Japanese, it it how they have made things local, even in a foreign setting, they have success.
This can be seen in the video of the high goals scored. These are fringe players, not even top tier players, but they do know that chances do not come often, make the best of it, to hell even the local players or seniors players said it, but seldom do they take it seriously.
Next, do people even care, none, there are 3 types, firstly, people who still care, some are the old timers, hardcore i would say, they are still with the team when i go and watch, be it care for the team, just to kill time or whatever reason.
Followed by the do not care team 100%, haven say finish, say Singapore football no hope, totally.
Lastly we have the care not care people, those who got hope and those they say do not care on the surface.
I hope they are still around, with hope.
We are in this state because there are people with no direction, simply for their own direction. True to void deck boy style, ownself check ownself, those who did the things are long gone, soon there will be nothing left, who to blame, yourself.
In singapore football or in any sense, always the people in charge think they know it all or even know something, in reality they know anything at all.
Paper chasers, boot lickers, whatever you call it, they never change, this issue of talents seem to never change.
Always questions, seldom answers, never solutions.
The cycle repeats again, for a kid with no resources, making his way into the world, it will take not just talent, hard work, luck even risking his life, then maybe he will have some success, that is already an understatement.
Finally on the topic of talented foreigners, anyone married a full blooded Singaporean ? Singaporean girls not good enough ? you too handsome ah ? sure got lah, eh most of them they balik kampung. Ang mo dua ki, maybe not, rainbow colour dua ki, who knows, they do not even state and declare their allegiance, oh ya can break one, slient break k, same old story.
True to void deck boy style, get real.
One solution, people who have real talent i urge them to go overseas even if you do not, go try and see the world like what the incoming talents do. I have said this before, some already did, they are living a better life. If any foreign talents get selected, i challenge them to stay here, born, bred, work, live, die, for one generation then we talk, i have made history, because they will never do that. I wonder if anyone reads this at all. This blog will be here as long as i can be in this world.
It is all good, that is one of the reasons why i created this, not much news, only the under 20 world cup is going to start.
The football scene has seen elections, but the same old issue has the same answers.
Foreign talent scheme for youth, i certainly do not understand, waste time.
While on the other hand, sporting Lisbon was crowned champions in Singapore after beating teams from all over the world.
No wonder who is the clear winner. I urge people who have talent to leave or not come back, because the opportunity is larger outside of this place, for the foreseeable length of period it will most likely be the same.
Remember the world is your playground, never let a door which is closed on you pull you down, instead fight and move to a better place to better yourself, in the end, it is you versus yourself.
