watch bits and pieces of the match against Uzbekistan, was glad that I only saw bits and pieces, the thing is that I don't understand what the team is trying to prove, against superior opponents, they are still trying to play 4 - 4 - 2. Trying to break them or stetch them wide when clearly we were trying just to keep up. They should've gone for a 4 - 5 - 1, or even 4 - 6 - 0, just to keep them at bay, and hopefully sneak a goal. We are already smaller than them in sizes, trying to cope with their strength and speed as well as skills is an absolute mismatch.

I think the national team need to rethink what has gone wrong, they should just pull out of each and every tournament just to avoid the embarrassment. Indonesia were no where 15 years ago, now they were right up there in the mix with the big boys of the region. That is what I call improvement. we have a so called professional league going on, but the fact is that despite so much football on the TV, from all over the world, they fail to learn anything tactically or technically, sorry sight to behold.
