lions win

i'm not into soccer
i dont watch them in the past
i feel that it is boring and ridiculous for people to get so high over it
(a bunch of people chasing a single ball)

until i randomly switched to channel5's airing of singapore-malaysia world cup qualifier live first leg
partly because its singapore, my country,
and also 'cause its vs malaysia,
it made me very curious and i continued watching on.
i felt that it was ME playing.
i started screaming and shouting over every move they made
i felt that i was the coach?!
qiuli!! qiuli!! number 9! (i found out that his name was something duric)

anyway, i was absolutely happy over the win 5-3.
yet many amusingly pessimistic people are saying that we will still lose to malaysia in the second leg
together with some boliao people commenting that the goals were made by foreigners, i would like to tell them that yeah, cuz singaporeans are on the defence/center line, singaporeans are on the seats cheering for our SINGAPORE team, and true singaporeans will not sit in front of the computer jeering our OWN team. if you're that good, then go play laarh! you cant even get in! when qiuli was interviewed, he said he wish to play against china. see, even they love singapore more than you do. so shut up boy. these are real talent, and people who play for singapore. if you are upset at the normal foreigners whom you meet in your daily life then thats your own business.
and, the malaysians threatened that they will give us "living hell" over in malaysia stadium

yet the confidence i had in the lions wasnt deminished at all.

being more involved in the match, i tuned in to the live broadcast punctually and watched with anticipation, (and later on, anger and bemusement).
first it was the laser,
then it was, quote from the coach in the newspapers "the referee didnt protect our players and allowed malaysia to get away with some ridiculous fouls"
its okay, coach.
i dont think the referee did it on purpose,
i mean, 80000++ people watching?
there's a reason why our supporters left one hour later, after the malaysians left.

i dont mind if our boys lose the next round,
but i'm satisfied with this result already.
good job, and well done!

quote from the commentator: its a good birthday present for singapore!
