Well if you were referring to me, I felt sad for Seaman, not England. Last World Cup and he'll be remembered for Ronaldinho's free kick? Gotta feel sad. And you have to feel for my wallet especially when Owen scored and then ........sigh..

Wasn't referring to any one poster in particular. It's just I for one am not emotionally tied to any other nation, not enough to cry tears of joy or victory for them anyway. I'm asking because I want to understand the psyche of those that are, emotionally involved with another nation I mean. I can however see myself being sad or happy for them but then again, there are many more things to be sad or happy about, things that don't directly concern me I mean. I don't gamble on games but I do understand the pains of having to part with your money. God knows I parted with a fair bit of mine over the CNY period

Well if Malaysia were playing in the same level as Brazil/Holland/Italy/France and they lost an important finals game, i do think i might shed a few tears of sadness or if they were to win World Cup one day, i might shed tears of joy. And thats simply because its my nation and i'm patriotic. Other than that, no real reason to feel sad or extra happy when other nations win/lose.

But generally i still do see some patriotism when Malaysia plays in any football/futsal game. The most recent futsal game in Stadium Negara proves so as we were cheering quite madly when Malaysia beat England. Even a few years back when Man Utd visited us and played a game with us and though majority of the crowd are Man Utd fans, we still cheered like mad when we had few chances to score. I've also watched the Brazil game and i must say the crowd was going crazy each time we stopped Brazil from scoring, so i wouldn't say we're not patriotic enough.

England in Futsal is like Malaysia in football lah

The only sport that gets me going is badminton.

i think those who play futsal in england are those rejected stock by the football club ...

or just a bunch of amateurs who cant qualify 2 play in U15 club team reserve

only one team in EPL (at that time, First Division) had this distinction of having the title grabbed from their very hands at virtually the last kick of the season...

Liverpool vs Arsenal, Anfield, somewhere late 80's early 90's i think.......

losing 1-0...we just need to avoid losing 2-0 AT HOME and the title is home safe and dry..
and then...one... last attack by Arsenal, they scored....
the commentator, legendary late Brian Moore famously said this when the ball was loose in front of the Anfield goal and Michael Thomas was seen running to hit it `ITS UP FOR GRABS NOW'!

darn....for 1 whole week, no mood to go to school, talk to girls, do anything.....

Just found this thread, agreed with largely of both of my fellow red...

For me, it has to be Hillsborough, like JonC said many a times, you don't go to a football match and come back in a body bag... Especially after hearing the stories of someone who WAS at Hillsborough...

Istanbul for sure, still cannot finished the DVD, watched it half way each and every time and started balling me eyes out... I am more soppy than Duke...

1999, I was playing in goal for my Kamsis Ibrahim Yaacob in UKM in our SUKEM (Sukan UKM). Semi finals, we were up against the favorites. We were down one pretty early in the game, then we had to defend against their siege for much of the game. My team defended heroically, I had to make like, a save every 2 minutes or so. Then with 5 mins left, we equalized. During the extra time we had to defend like mad again. Then in the penalty shoot out, I saved one shot & we won the game & moved on to the finals. It was our first final in quite some time & during the group stages nobody gave us a second glance. It was very emotional for me. To contribute in such a way.

BTW, we lost the final 0-3. Not much can be done. Only satisfaction to be had....

Long time ago I was defending an attack and this guy unleashed a shot and it hit me in the doink and THAT brought tears to my eyes...

I thought it should be from sitters 1 yard from the goal that you routinely miss?

You mean like the video clip below?

Holy mama, I almost shat my pants in the office reading this. You're funny!
