In Asia Group A, if SG replaced with Malaysia, i think Malaysia will be trashed and kena-sepak juga... so better let SG kena-sepak rather than Malaysia.

retreat hell!

Now we can see those bloody Singaporeans imports play against their REAL country..lets see whether they can still use the tagline - born in China and still 100% Singaporean - after this match..lets see if they fall down like being shot by snipers if China are losing..I hope Iraq dothe same thing to them..Iraq can bomb and shoot Singapore with M16 and AK47 for all I care..

I think Malaysia could have had a chance if we were in that group..but Iraq are tough..and we always get a bad referee when we play China..

oi singapore... hopefully we will meet again and thrash you 10-0 in Asia Cup!!

All 3 team in group A is strong

But if Malaysia did advance through i actually feel that they can win

my prediction for asia:

japan, korea, and maybe either of -->aussies/saudi, qatar/bahrain/iran, iraq/china.

play off--->no chance in hell.

as for our neighbours...no chance....almost all of them are in a tight grp even for a play off spot.its even tougher in play offs when faced with one of the south american giants.and if we did qualified instead og the sinks, it would have been a good place for experience but as for results, beating china i would say 50-50, and a way slimmer to beat the middle east teams.

lol

sportman ship a bit lar

suppose got foreigner in a national team wont do good but may be harm to the team because it is not their country after all ... somemore they are flop in their country thats why leaving

and don't keep blame sg players for acting in second leg, is malaysia LOST THE 1ST LEG which make sg has those kind of 'advantage'

if malaysia bring back a draw or make it 4-3 those acting sure wont happen ...

hopefully the teams that are grouped together with our neighbours will want to make friendly matches against our HM, this will definitely benefit us in experience n exposure.

yeah, I like this I don't know much about thailand progress after AFF. did their improve? they are quite good though. Indo too. But I don't really like singapore

we have drew with china at home and with jordan away before (2009)... so we could have been a lil competetive.... but i rate Iraq as better then both of them..

kompem kena ratah singapore

singa kena ratah?

wowow.first time when thread like this opened,people only interested in asia zone instead of europe zone.

Good luck to our neighbours. If they are smart, they should give their younger homegrown players more game time in these matches for exposure and experience..

iraq woi bekas juara asia tuu.....im sapport iraq

one among many things this week bro. one among many things.
