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!

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

A super strike from midfielder Safiq Rahim gave Malaysia a heartwarming 1-0 win over the South Korean Olympic team in a friendly match at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday.

The Selangor playmaker brought cheer to the 3,000 odd fans when he beat towering goalkeeper Lee Bum-soo from 25 metres out with a lethal shot in the 51st minute.

The Korean defence was caught by surprise when Safiq picked up a rebound from his own free kick before he breezed past two defenders and unleashed a low shot beyond the reach of Bum-soo.

It was an encouraging performance by K. Rajagopal’s boys, who are preparing for the Guangzhou Asian Games in November.

The Koreans are on a bigger mission to get into the 2012 London Olympics and they came here with mostly newcomers in their newly-formed Under-21 squad.

Malaysia put up a spirited display and Rajagopal hoped that the team would continue to show the same kind of commitment and consistency in international matches.

After SEA games gold medal performances, our U23 squad show that we are not too far behind. Hopefully this squad can maintain their good form in Asia Games. Although it is just against Korea newly formed squad that mostly U21, it is still a good result for us.

Let us hope that this squad won’t disappoint us in the next 3-4 years!
