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?

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..

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

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.

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.

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?

Would you like me to compare them with the elites like Man United and Barcelona then?
Lets face it, they're good, and they're getting better, and i do support our national team and they have very high potential to improve.
That non league team, played very well against United btw, that shows us not to underestimate non-league English teams. Besides, have you seen many non-league teams play?
Just as minority said, this could turn out to be an amazing match.
Thank you for your opinion anyway, no offence

I'm not putting the Malaysian team low my friend, you're putting non-league English teams low
You should be confident instead, Malaysia Boleh, we can match English teams.

About that mppj vs norwich game, i'm sorry, i would have overlooked this.

But to be honest, i would love to see more Malaysian players play abroad, to gain more exposure. I'm glad that Safee Sali made that first step!

Exactly my point. I believe we have the tactical advantage, we're more organized

Very true..I guess Harimau Muda would perform much better, because national pride is at stake then.
They'll prolly emerge the better then

Exactly.
So..It's Harimau Muda for the win then!

Seriously? I had no idea, when was this btw?

Well, at least now i'm learning stuff about the team, getting to know the team better.
Anyway, me not knowing ANY development of the team, wouldn't be entirely true. I watch Harimau Muda matches, i watched them play during the AFC Suzuki Cup as well.
I also know that Safee Sali is no longer playing for a local team, but for Bandung now.
I do admit that my knowledge about the team is still a lil shallow, but i'm trying to keep pace with the team now.

Besides, i opened this thread with the purpose of wanting to know whether or not Harimau Muda could be Crawley Town, asking people's opinion.
You apparently ignored the purpose of the thread my friend.

But then again, you're prolly an avid Harimau Muda fan, and seeing a thread like this wouldn't make you feel comfortable, init?
I'm sorry if you feel that way, no offence intended man.
