Got live?

lol now they've brought in more noobier teams
Well the priority in my opinion is the Tiger Cup. Pesta Bola Merdeka is like... not much of a competition.
Unless of course got teams like Korea etc joining like they used to.

Wat the, where did Thailand , Singapore and Indon went?

this seriously shows a downfall of Malaysia's football .
Sack the president and vice president la please.

Malaysia football is part-timer...no...even part-timer can beat them

Mozambique - 100
Sierra Leone - 133
Myanmar - 157

Vietnam - 165
Nepal - 175
Bangladesh - 179
Afghanistan - 182

Malaysia 's national team love to self comfort

Wah looks like the standard of the Merdeka tournament is getting worse and worse... last time it was the premier competition in Asia but now it looks like nothing more than a friendly cum training session with bottom-ranked teams!

play with weak team???later if malaysia win this cup...the fam says that football in malaysia was improved...lol...

can't even win the tiger cup

Malaysia 4 - Nepal 0
Indra Putra- min 21
Safee Saali- min 29
Safee Saali- min 50
Khyril Muhaimeen - min 54

Match Goal

Check out Safee Saali first goal..

wow!! he is either the Henry of M'sia or he is just plain lucky...

first.. congrats to our team for beating nepal..

What a goal by Safee Salee.. a confidence + skill + LUCK!!.. ehehe

Khyril Muhymeen as calm as he used to.. great goal by him.. has been his admire for some time oledi..

Malaysia have to play far better than the 4-0 score. We have to see broader more...

lol vr true. happened the last time msia won the merdeka cup. after that (in sea games or tiger cup i cant remember) they still dont deliver.

lawan nepal bole ler. jd champion tiger cup dlu la br bole bangga sikit

bro.. asyik nak mengutuk je tak guna gak.. memang la kite dah lama tak puas hati dgn dorang ni.. tapi time menang, bagi la moral support sikit.. dah kalah kene, menang pon kene.. aduss.. main la sedikit peranan sebagai rakyat malaysia tu..

aih apsal yg hang terasa? aku duk kutuk fam.. my comment should b looked as a challenge rather than viewed as putting down the team. the only way to proof we are achieving sumthing is winning the tiger cup. am i not rite? aku xde duk kata xmo support team ni n aku rs aku kut plg vocal to support the team. but sometimes a harsh words work wonders to improve ppl. renung2kan!

Safee`s goal just brilliant,i think this guys also can plat sepak takraw as well

play sepak takraw?? confirm.. sure he can..

Rocko.. bukan terasa.. tapi mungkin msg tu sbnrnya bukan kat org cam kau.. khusus utk org yang hanya pandai menghentam.. singgah2 thread hentam2 just nak banyak kan post.. sigh
