it's actually hard and unfair to blame everything on the the president alone. he's been there for many years, even since the era of the great Supermokh, where it was known to be the golden era of Malaysian football. personally i think that our football really started looming at the near end of 1990s.

but i agree that staying too long, at some stage, would probably compromise ur judgement and that affects the decision making as well. always believe that football management must be run by the majority of 'real football' people, but u must accept the fact that u need political influence in it. not much but just enough to bring the money in.

I believe we have to accept that we have limited talents in our countries. Not many children play football or any sports seriously since their childhoolds. Every parents, teachers, headmasters all expect their childrens to be good in studies and not many people encourage their childs to play football seriously. It's not like the 60's or 70's era when playing for school team is a big proud for all parents. But now everyone wants 7As, 8AS....I think it's the price we pay we we want to become a developed country.

Force Ibrahim Saad to get out laaaa
He's done anything at all to upgrade our football scene
just a fcuked up old retarded man who palying tricked all the time

i saluted the spirit of our player who missed the chance to go to the final
BUT worth watching, at least the gave one hell of a fight, ain't em?

Syamsuri for me, is a world class goalkeeper, what a saved from him!!!
cool goalkeeper....

Our goalkeeper. back four and midfielders should stay. They're the best of what we have now. But I believe we desperately need better strikers. Hmm... we really miss Super Mokh, Dali Omar, Zainal etc.

it's an amazing save, that even Noh Alam Shah saluted him for that. yep, Syamsuri, the back four and most of the midfield players should stay. just need a big improvement from the strikers now.

Maybe in 50 years , we can have another golden generation .

Maybe, when our children doesn't have to worry much about having a good life even if they're not having 8As or 9As in SPM. In most developed countries, you can have a good salary even if you're a construction worker.

ask titus james become the striker la..masalah sudah selesai..

Maybe , but it then why we were so great in the 70/80's when wages were lower and there was no pro soccer !

The reverse is true .

The more money came in , the worst our standard become !

speaking of which, where is he?

guess he is still somewhere at one of those french club. mayb malaysia need to pay a lot to hav him play for us once a while le. u know the country fa hav to pay the club for releasing their player for national duty. as u know the club pay their salary.

wait for akmal and safee salie to recover, then i think akmal-safee-saramsak will form a good partnership in the future..

For me, the problem with malaysian football is not at the highest level, aka the FAM, but the grassroot. How many potentially good kids stopped playing because of family pressure to do good in schooling? personally, I have talked to a mother that banned his son from football and wants him to play badminton instead because "Kalau Menang dia dapat tanah, kalau menang bola, dapat apa??". This kind of mentality is what hampering our growth.
And the IMO the FIFA ranking is crappy. You need to play a certain amount of games to be counted in the FIFA ranks. German suffered during the pre World Cup period because they don't have to play qualifying thus went into the tournament ranked lower than the USA!! So for me, go HELL with the FIFA rankings. If we feel that we are better, than WE ARE better.

Seriously we need another mind like the late uncle Sidek.... If he can train his sons in badminton, we can do it in football too... its a matter u wan to do it or not....

This post has been edited by fd_totti: Jan 30 2007, 01:25 PM

unfortunately, football is a team game, unlike badminton where 1 person can make a difference. Unless that new Uncle Sidek can father 11 boys and teach them all to be really godlike footballers, we need more, much more than 1 person.

Agreed parents ca do a lot more . david's parents are street smart , they knew how to augment her talent and that sport can be a lucrative business.

Study nowadays anyone can do anytime , you can even buy it.

lol, I just heard on the news today that local players are unhappy that they are not given the chance to play in the clubs.

How the hell do you expect to play if you suck?
No offence though, unless Malaysia's defence's standard's increases, then I'll be happy to actually wear a Malaysian jersey around. It's just painful to see the overconfident-ness of Malaysia, example of this is when Malaysia scored the first goal against Singapore (oops, guess I had to bring that up huh.)

Once they scored, they keep losing the ball to opposition.. which, IMO, is horrible.

But oh well, I do hope when it's ASEAN Cup time, their standards will improve big time, and will at least demolish the living crap out of anyone in their way (Asian teams, not European )
