Let Young Lions play against best Asian teams

Source:Here
In the recent Fifa world rankings released on July 12, Singapore is ranked a respectable 111th.

Notably, we are ahead of all our major South-east Asian rivals, such as Thailand (113th), Indonesia (139th), Vietnam (141th) and Malaysia (146th).

And fews years back Singapore has indeed outshine other countries and won the Tiger Cup. What the heck is this, denying Singapore U-23 Soccer team from entering the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar by none other than the Singapore National Olympic Council.

Arent we already good enough? Baihakki Khaizan, Shahril Ishak, Ridhuan Muhammad and Khairul Amri are just some of the important players in the winning run - often outplaying players many years their senior. But why is this still not able to convince?

Although Singapore should have done better in the previous competition, that doesn't mean that 1 should stay down after falling. What about brazil and agentina? Should Ronaldinho quit soccer because he did not perform well? Should Lampard, Gerrard, and Beckham not take any more penalties in their carreer? People make mistakes... It aint a perfect world out there we still got terrorism here living. People will die someday, its a fact...

By playing against stronger teams this will allow the Young lions to prove that they are good and soon they will be able to achieve their dreams World Cup 2010. This seems to be like my school. No medals for soccer, no soccer team. However it was a good feeling to thrash 3n1 today 12-1. Its not about results dude, its about the process. Maybe Miss Tan and Miss Talib ought to learn more. Theres more to life than being just doctors and teachers. Get a life dud.

Heres Singapore Soccer Team At Its Best!
