Please look at the re$ource$ we have and please look at the results of the past SEA games. More important, how our team played.
Also, FAS have dropped Goal2010 3 years ago after launching it in 1999.
Please also look at the standard of Japan, Korea and Gulf national teams. Please don't quote score or how narrowly we lost this game and that. West Ham beat Man U does not mean West Ham is better.
The gap is just too big at the moment and I don't see how we can close it with the current Sleague.
I don't think I think too lowly of our national team and I did not say Lionel Lewis MVP (Tiger Cup) and nomination AFC is a fluke.
What I am saying is from a soccer fan point of view. Do you want to watch a Sleague match with 2000 fans or a Malaysia Cup match with 50000 people.
I am against Sleague current format and all for the Malaysia Cup format. You can say it's Singapore playing against state teams, but isn't it better than watching the Army play Police, Sengkang play Woodlands.
Soccer is a spectator sports and you need this key element for the sport itself to be successful.
You will have more boys willing to take up the sport and this dream of playing in front of 50000 spectators.
