I was watching the Manchester United vs Crawley Town game early this morning.
And this question popped into my head, What if Harimau Muda was to face Crawley Town?

Crawley Town, a non league team, played pretty amazing football against United, and I'm quite amazed by their fitness levels actually.
Their crosses into the box wasn't that bad either. And players like Smith, Tubbs, and Torres played rather well I'd say.

Which team would emerge the better?
What say you guys?

Crawley Town. their physical presence almost whoop the living crap out of Man Utd's midfield.

Crawley Town...in b4 Im a glory hunter

I thought Crawley Town was good too. But then again, United wasn't at their best after all.
Although, the question here is, do you think Harimau Muda would stand a chance?

A close call, a draw perhaps? Crawley for the win? Harimau Muda for the win?

I'd say it would be a close call..

Red Devil ?

that game is league kid vs non league player

Would Harimau Muda stand a chance against an English non-league team, that only conceded 1 goal against United?

Harimau Muda hands down!

I somehow feel Harimau Muda would have a tactical advantage at the first half. But they'll lose out the fitness battle at the second.

they already trained in Slovakia and enjoyed state-of-the-art facilities in NSC and SSBJ

Malaysia only lose 2-3 to United starting eleven back then

Man Utd only play to get through to 2nd round. If Crawley manage to score 1 last night they will score 2 etc.... It's not their best team

i actually think Harimau Muda players has the edge fitness wise against part timers crawley town.... but as usual they will lose out physically.....


but i think Harimau Muda will win....


and from that match, i also see Bebe would not make it into crawley town first team.... i also dont think he will make it as a dependable import in Malaysia either....

True, Crawley Town players have good physical strength.
As for the Bebe part, both he and Oberton didn't play well at all yesterday. I'd only give them a 2/10.

lol if u ask me. fitness wise hard to compare. Fitness all depends on altitude, if our players play at england, crawley town has the advantage, its their weather their altitude after all.

but when these white kids come to Malaysia, our tropical weather (n pitch condition haha) will give them hell.

i think crawley will win it,coz crawley tends to cross the ball inside the penalty area,unless kharul fahmi have a superb nite again,i cant imagine that our defender can contest any header(physical-wise).

The only advantage I see in Crawley Town is that although it's a "non-league" team, they play hard-running, fast-paced football week in, week out with players of the right physique for their kind of football. Our slower-pace football and smaller players may struggle against that.

i cant believe it lol, you guys are really comparing harimau muda vs crawley town

wookay, im a malaysian so harimau muda will win!

i think TS did it for teh lulz

Nah man, not for the lulz, well... Maybe, a little though, but seriously man, don't you think our players need to buff up? Put on more muscle?
