for the 1st time, i didnt miss any of our team matches from the beginning (vs s'pore) til the finale last night.. last night performance easily the best of them all.. congrats to them for winning/retaining the gold medal!!

gk - khairulfahmi is the best that we hav right now.. but he need a backup..
rb - im not a fan of mahali.. not gud enuff i guess..
cb - muslim & fadhli combination looks gud.. but for national team, i think marzuki yusof + aidil/hafiz zamani pairing is the better choice
lb - either asrar or zubir.. we do hav a gud lb
mf - at 1st, i think coach kim swee wud waste baddrol's talent by playing at the centre of midfield.. im totally wrong.. baddrol done his job really well.. the man of the tournament, no doubt.. guru looks solid.. irfan has nice touches.. najmi has the potential..
wings - if shahrul azwari plays last night, i think we can win in 90 minutes.. for me, he's the 2nd best behind baddrol.. fandi, kecik & yong look gud but need more consistency..
fw - hmm.. the worst part.. izzaq, fakhri & thamil not sharp enuff.. we do need better strikeforce...

+1

and do remember they hav ex-werder bremen player - diego !!
and ferdinand too..!!


this facts:
20 yrs old - zubir, fadhli, irfan, kecik, thamil
19 yrs old - fandi
18 yrs old - syahrul azwari
17 yrs old - nazmi

just WOW!! our football do hav a bright future..
hope they gettin better n better (n pray fam dont mess it up or do sumthin silly)

err... got question..

for this coming 2012 olympics qualifiers, vs syria & vs bahrain..
it should be under-22 squad,...right??
so, no baddrol, asra, guru & yong??

cant judge by ranking.. ranking mostly based on (senior) national team performance..

but i guess in our group, u-22 syria is the 2nd best behind u-22 japan

err..bkn zubir azmi ke?
zubir ibrahim ni gk..legend ganu niii

btw..when talking bout pendedahan, i do wanna talk bout afc cup
afc cup kalo kt europe dh kira like europa league.. 2nd best to champions league but still ok la kann

so, for our state/club team that qualify, i really they can use those opportunity to get the xposure..
sad to hear some of them cant participate bcoz of lack of fund.. financial prob for state/club team shouldnt be there anymore.. if there's any, fam (at least) should help coz those state/club team is playing for our national pride

no asra...still got zubir..

i satisfied wit d 1st half performance.. but attacking terlalu mengharapkan wan zack who not 100% fit & nazmi creativity.. everybody else need to step up.. 2nd half, fatigue.. i can understand that but disappointed to c muslim's error 4 d 2nd goal..

reality check.. we win sea games final, not world cup
we do missed baddrol leadership n irfan creativity..
n of course, hav 2 continue searching for strikers...

yea, like his composure (fakhri needs 2 learn from him i guess)..
but many time nazmi kna curi bola by syria players from behind.. communication among d players still need 2 improve

syria beat bahrain right?
so, i guess wit much needed rest, we can play better this sunday n beat bahrain!!

for senior squad, we do hav safee, matyo, manaf, ashaari or even amri.. wit his current form, fakhri shouldnt b in d senior squad

but for u23 squad, can u guys name other strikers that should b in d squad rather than fakhri? just wanna know..
pity.. we hav d providers (nazmi, wan zack, irfan) but lacking in term of finishers..

75-80 minutes played ok.. d last 10-15 minutes of disasters..
2 b fair, our team edi 'rongak' that time especially in d midfield (although bahrain played wit 10 men)

hope our team learn..
hav 2 focus d whole 90 minutes.. d match not won til d ref blew d final whistle..
d strength in depth very important.. do need quality players even on d bench.. hope many new young quality players will emerge soon..
