Sorry I am rejuvenating this thread again. Oft times I wanted to post here but never got around to doing so.

Hope I can make some contributions.

How many of you all watch the 2008 KL World 5's tournament at the stadium? Sad to say there was not a big crowd given that it was World Class Tournament.
If you didn't you wasted the opportunity.

We were mismatched against the likes of team Argentina (the Finalist beaten by Falcoa's team)

A few pointers I gleaned from watching Argentina vs Malaysia. It goes without saying that in terms of quality we were mismatched individually.
But to be mismatched in quantity?
Let me clarify.

When we attacked our GK were not involved in their half while the Argies attacked oftentimes they had their goalie 'quarterbacking' them.

A mantra that I always preached or coached to my players is that never let the team be mismatched especially in defending. Why do you think Barca is successful especially in their '3 sec' retrieving the ball back from their opponent and in their offensive?

The major point I want to make is that in indoor football especially futsal the GK has to work in tandem in attack for the team to be successful.

Sad to say against Argentina ( I think we lost 7 or 8 to 1) our coaching and our GK (often lay back and isolated in his goal mouth when we attacked) was not up to par. IMO Our GK needs to be the Best Player (with lots of foot skills and creative ability) on the team . If I'm the manager I would develop one.

Till to date I have not seen a local lad doing the 'Helicopter Spin move' in competition. I had a former Jamaican national player playing on my team who was really good at that.
