Apa komen hcmalaya?

To be honest, even as a Malaysian, I am suspicious.

Malaysouthamerica and Indonetherlands 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gov dont want to waste money for game 😁, rich Malaysia 😂

They finally realised after all these years that local players are useless & failures. Which explains why local club teams are allowed up to 15 foreign players. Gaji pun x mampu nak import players lagi…LEL.

Just be proud for now.

Yeah let’s be real. We’ve failed that’s the short & easy answer.

We’ve failed to spot & develop talents from our own people because of years of piss poor planning & through my own experience, lack of meritocracy in team selection be it at junior or senior level. That’s the longer than short answer.

Honestly I do not expect that we will conquer the soccer world.  But during our heydays, we were one of the most feared soccer nation in SEA, almost on par with South Korea then. 
Remember the merdeka tournament…. The merdeka stadium shook with our fans roar then….

Size is just poor excuse. Messi is just 5'7, so we should think he can't make it in professional football?

I think football as a culture is just not ingrained in us. Yes, we like to watch it, but how many people actually is willing to play it day in day out, or send their kids to coaching academy, let them go padang and play, etc etc.

We also have other sports and entertainment that pulls away talents from football.

We used to have many good Chinese football players, but now it is down to zero.
Partly because Chinese parents value tuition over sports, and partly because SRJK(C ) do not have proper football fields.

have to start with PE Class, focus on core training and stamina, systematically
not just Ok penggal 1 kita ajar bola tampar, everyone warmup, jog 1 round, stretching, ok start

some PE class even just do carefree, cikgu sit beside relax, murid just do whatever they want within the class hour.

badminton famous , imo, also because it's free from weather (hot sun / rain) , easy to start - just need few people and hitting ball with racket, no physical contact with opponent

Dont get me wrong here, it's not easy to play  badminton professionally, i'm talking about the body disadvantages since we were young and there's unlikely improvement designed along the way, except those gym-goer kind of "big muscle" - practicality u know i know

Even in basketball we could find some tall people but doubt they are capable to do intense sports as lack of fundamental

Similar to Brazil, football is weaved in to part of their lives and it's also a real chance at a better life. So the pool of players is bigger, the skills to shine is stronger and the top few are way better.

I think people don't realise the gap between a great player in local league to actually being professional. The best player I've played with and represented state level told me he can't even hack it professionally. And that dude is like 1000x better than the rest of us.

Uhh... Japan 2 Germany 1 last world cup

Takuma Asano i still remember outsprinted the german defence to score

Top their group beating Spain.

You sure or not they cannot cope physically?

Our gene athletically inferior. 30-40 years edi trying with local player. Just need to accept the truth.

Last time maybe now very strict with var you can easily get yellow card or penalty for playing rough.

The skills and tactical still matter the most. Nuno Mendes 1.80cm only still can pass through multiple defenders to score. Mbappe 1.78cm only.

arif aiman is just fine

I suggest use complicated term like disadvantage physical.
I hope no one pick up your post and start another body shamming war just like what happen to women beach volleyball between MY and CH

Really got different. Their finishing is so spot on. If local players, won't have such quality. But still, honestly, I can't feel the proud. The feeling of cheering our team is kind of different too. Now more like club football.

dutch height history

Yes, you can change the height thing in few gens.

It is all about wealth and diet which leads to so-called "athletically superior".

You can see the HUGE different between PRC and India in Olympics.
Indian kids are still malnutrition... on average.
Can't feed the people nicely, can't win medal in pro sport.

Yes, the right mind for the sport too, like JP and SK which both are ethnically homogenous. Better spirit and unity.

Globalization and family getting richer (than previous gens) lead to more food/nutrition variety, thus taller.

I'm 80s with less food/nutrition variety. The kids from 90s and 00s are getting taller slowly. U guys no notice?

If only physicals really that important. Or else you bring in more experienced naturalised players also cannot enter WC2030.

And this 4 scorers already older also. Teamwork must start from young. Lamine and Mbappe train with spain and France team since kids.

Play with vietnam sure good enough but if face saudi , japan , Australia Iran dont think can win. If your mix and match naturalised team can beat these teams then have chance enter WC which is unlikely as they won't have good teamwork.

See WC UK 2006 stars players still lose. Somemore mix and match naturalised cannot oo.
