Manchester United Fan In Malaysia

We’re in the right track. With the advantage of 3-0 aggregates in the 1st leg at Bukit Jalil National Stadium, it is our title to lose.

Winning 5-1 against Malaysia at Bung Karno Stadium,Jakarta in AFF Cup first match will give Indonesia all the confident they need that they can overcame 0-3 aggregates in their home soil. Another 1-5 defeat for our young Tiger will make whole Malaysia cry!

If we can score first in tonight 2nd leg, it is game over for Indonesia. But if Indonesia can get an early goal, we’re in trouble. We need to stop their momentum. Remember what happen to AC Milan in 2005 Champions League Final?? Milan lead 3-0 in first half but they make a mistake by letting Liverpool come back in 2nd half and gains momentum to make it 3-3 in merely less than 30 minutes.

And also…what happen to Indonesia in 1st leg??? Indonesia in good shape for the whole 1st half. But then, they loose focus and started to complaint in everything in 2nd half that lead to our 1st goal. Then, we got the momentum against mentally weak Indonesia team and scored another 2 goals soon after that.

The ability to take advantage and gaining momentum is our Young Malaysian best asset in this AFF Cup. When we get the momentum.. we also put Vietnamese down the ground. Remember that semifinal match at Bukit  Jalil? Vietnam dominated the whole 1st half but then when we got momentum by playing with our set piece… they were out of control and goes down 2-0.

I am looking forward for another wonderful wing play and a dangerous set piece again in this 2nd leg. Hopefully we can get taste of our first ever ASEAN title!!!

Prediction?? 0-0 will be awesome!!

Malaysia BOLEH!!

This could be our national team first step to glory or our only step and then we need to wait for another 14 years to be in the final!! (1996 was the last time Malaysia advance to AFF Cup Final). Either ways.. both will make this match historic!

To watch our first AFF CUP FINAL LIVE in home soil will be a great moment for all HITAM KUNING Army!

If the Indonesian Embassy did not agree to the idea, the tickets would be sold at the stadium and Indonesian supporters must show their passport to buy a ticket to avoid any inconvenience, he added.

Finally…don’t forget to bring your MYKAD!!

The draw for the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League was made at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, and Manchester United have drawn against French champions Marseille – a side which now includes former Red Devil defender Gabriel Heinze.

It is good to see we managed to avoid AC Milan in the draw because it is the only team that worried me.

The last time Manutd and Marseille met in the same competition was in the 1999/00 season. We won 2-1 at Old Trafford, but lost 1-0 at Stade Velodrome.
