70,000 Malaysians humiliated....

WHat can i say ?? Malaysia trashed by Indonesia on their own backyard. 4 - 1 DAMN !!! I was in BJ stadium when it happened. Its so sad.. our hopes dented after a pathetic display by our national team in the second half.

I was there with wifey , Dil and Nor. We went quite early ; me from the hospital directly to the stadium at 5.30pm. Parked our car by IMU , and we ate an early dinner ; DIl eating the traditional pre-match meal ; fish and chips. " Macam kat oversea lak " i quote.The response from fellow Malaysians was wonderful ; sea of yellow jerseyed supporters walking with the Malaysian flag to the stadium. Wow , it had been quite some time since i last saw sea of our supporters in the stadium.

We were on tier 1 ; 104 and the seats were wonderful.Very near to the hardcore rambling Malaysian supporters. A bit hot but ok lar.. what da ya expect ?? Malaysia mah.. not Anfield.And as the kick off got nearer - almost all the seats were filled !! My estimation , more than 70,000 turned up. wow , up to the third tier. The initial NEGARAKU was inspiring and it did inspire our team for a while...




When Khalid scored , THE WHOLE STADIUM ERUPTED !!! though we were lucky AGAIN !!! but it was good celebration ..and at that moment everybody thought that TEaM Malaysia will be sky high with confidence. UNfortunatelyyyy... NOT !!!

Indon actually played the better game , the fluidity and dynamic movement of the forwards was evident by the number of mistakes made by our reliable TOWKAY ( Hafiz Zamani ) . When the indon equalized , BICKSEI made a STUPID change of tactic , thinking we can defend our lead. He put in a defender replacing the injured Kit KOng. BUT he was WRONG .. pushing up hafiz and rusdi as midfielders was CRAP.. and the swift Indon attackers capitalized our weak defense - hence the blizzard of goals !!! OOOHH.. SUCH FRUSTRATION !!!! and we were hammered with another 3 goals nearing the end.

Overall it was an enjoyable evening. my wife who i seldom hear swearing , sweared at Khalid for his lack of enthusiasm in the game !! haks.. And DIl , was really emotional !!! I was just stunned .. so stunned by how our team faltered.. the Indon fans were dancing in glory !! as they should seeing the superiority against us. Although we are known to be crap ; last nite , THE TEAM was simply outclassed by the indon's speed and skills.

Anyway , though dissapointed , Congrats Malaysia ; who qualified to the semis but somehow when we dont have the quality ; it will show when it matters !!!! It was sad to see dissapointed fans walking back in despair and pain. Some came as far as Kedah ( saw the school bus with Kedah plate number parked by the highway on my way back ) to support their national pride.Wished that the outcome was the opposite tonight.. :(

Sorry la Indon patient masuk ward esok .. haks.. they'll gonna get it from me !!!
