Eh for a while i tot u guys are talking about me...u know, namesake and being in OZ and so on...


Well he definitely have OZ passport since OZ also practice the same citizenship rule as Msia, ie. born here = citizenship. But whether he has Malaysian passport or not, is another issue....but as far as i know, i've got an OZ friend whose parents is Singaporean, and he cant enter Singapore anymore, because if he enters he will have to do NS. so that means he is also considered as Singaporean. Therefore if Singapore have the same citizenship rules as Msia, then this could apply for him as well.

On the other hand, Malaysia have this rule where if you gained citizenship of another country, your Malaysian citizenship will be revoked.

But i dont think he will wanna play for Msia la, if he's got a chance he would play for Australia.

laugh at me...later i got access to PI kits then see who's having the last laugh

problem is he is born and raised in Australia, his parents from Malaysia doesnt mean much to him to be honest, maybe go back once in a while to visit datuk nenek at most. I know a lot of locals whose parents are from other places and they are just as Australian as the regular OZ blokes. If he doesnt gets chosen by the Australian national team, then he will most probably just stay where he is. Besides, who knows what could have happen in 5 years time? maybe he can represent Australia at the age of 27? will he wanna ruin that chance and commit to Malaysia which means he wont be eligible for Australia anymore? What im trying to say is, if i am in Brendan (Gan, not Brendan me ) shoes, i will try my best to play for Australia..playing for Malaysia will just close that opportunity. The only link he has with Malaysia is his parents, and the link he has with Australia is his whole life, his childhood memories, his friends etc. no second guessing on where his heart would lie at.

Titus is different from him, Titus was born in Malaysia and grew up during his childhood in Malaysia, he left for France just like any other football players playing abroad. I think the reason he has trouble representing the team is because of tight schedule playing in France and trials with many teams for his club career?



Also u arent right about the Socceroos not choosing A-league players for matches. Previous manager Pim verbeek is the manager who experimented with the most A-league youngsters as OZ manager. Plus if u are good in A-League, Europe teams will come knocking so either way as long as you are good, you will get the chance.

No idea where to watch that tv program, but if he does say that then maybe one day la...who knows.

well there is a realization that the main Socceroos players are in their 30s now, as during the World Cup 2010 Australia have the oldest average squad age i think. Players like Cahill, Kewell, Bresciano, Neill, Emerton etc..gonna retire before the next world cup. So like it or not, they gotta start with young ones and most of them are in A-League, though some of them are currently playing in Europe countries like Holland (Gosh, Holland influence in OZ football is HUGE!) and Belgium.

Anyway i still hope Titus gonna play for country sooner or later.

Nice assist and goal! Reminds me of Ozil-Muller combo against England!

All hope is not lost, but we need to depend on Indonesia not letting Thailand win when they meet each other, and we beat Laos. Can't see Indonesia losing to Laos, so goal difference shouldnt be too much of a problem. We can still qualify as runners up with 4 points, providing Indonesia don't lose any of their next 2 matches.

Though all the bombardment, Fahmi does seem composed and do his job without hassle. If he was gelabah like a few others, i bet one of those low drill ball that he collect will let loose and deflect into opponent's path, or did a Green. Good job Fahmi!



Fahmi to replace VDS!

Quote Wiki:



Football West Premier League is a league in the state of Western Australia, so that's just a state level football. It's different with the A-League club, Perth Glory FC kasi suspense, how can Perth Glory lose to teenagers?

nonetheless, i think the result is good, shows that the young lads are able to fight with more athletic players, even if those Perth players' skill might not be there.

i rather have a team of born and bred Malaysians playing for their country even if that means not winning any trophies (providing they are dedicated la), rather than a squad of foreigners lifting the trophies, but do not reflect the real component of the country at all. Our countries arent made up of people of south america, africa and european descent. Our national team is not also a place to hire foreign "workers" to do the job for us.

i am being honest, i was one of those who disregard the national team when i was a kid, saying the team is rubbish without even watching any of the games and at the same time, supports Man Utd. But as time goes on, i start to appreciate what it means to support your own country, and is still learning. True, almost everyone who watches football have foreign team and country that they supported. But i think one of the reason is because Malaysia national team wasnt in those tournaments, so they are finding alternatives. Lets put it this way, if Malaysia were to qualify for World Cup, regardless of how shitty the team is, im pretty sure more people will support Malaysia. It's just like sporting events like Olympic, Commonwealths...While majority of the population doesnt watch events like equestrians, or squash, but if Malaysia is in it, they will support the team, no matter finishing in the first round, or actually winning the gold medal. Heck, even Cardiff City gets quite a fanbase in Malaysia recently because it is owned by Malaysians.

I dont think "to win and getting local support" is the right reason to allow foreign players into our national team. it's like a last resort action to me, where the country and FAM has given up on local products to even need to think of outsiders.

Maybe if u say by bringing in foreigners it will lead to healthy competition to local lads and they will step up their performance, and can benefit from foreign experience, then maybe that is an acceptable reason. But im afraid FAM might overuse this "foreign experience" thing to straight away play for the country instead of getting locals to learn from them. theres definitely a for and against reasoning for this issue innit? very nice to discuss

any live stream people? seems like the usual website streaming the past 2 games wasnt listed in myp2p.

u are right, no urgency at all even though they really need the win. Ironically so far it is against Indonesia the performance is the best among the 3 games. So far. hopefully they can improve soon, or after half time.

Kat OZ la bro

nvm, registered with bet365 and can watch, though it is without the stadium ambience sound, only the commentator. not exactly "live" from the stadium i guess

haha but it sounds weird without any noise, like ball kicking, shouting etc. when the commentator is silent, i tot my stream went down or something

We're leading, hopefully dont let it get loose. at this point we are second with 4 points, Indonesia 7, Thailand 3 and Laos 1.

Oh dem now Thailand leading

Bambang will further stamp his reputation among malaysians, especially Selangor fans

is it a replay or Indonesia actually got another PK?

LOL nice finishing wei from that Laos defender, top corner summore

and we got our goal difference back to....0!

hahaha

would be better if permaban
