Goal 2010~ Anyone remember?
-
Hey guys... anyone still remember how SIngapore wanted to get into the world cups for Goal 2010?
I will of course be proud as a singaporean if Singapore really gets into the World cup. Who don't wish his own country to be in his world cup.I still remember a few years ago... There were so much promises and so muching fundings given to the local football players...
But till date... Where are we? Is Goal 2010 just a fade? Just an empty promise to Singaporeans? Pls share ur views..... -
I remember it was one of MBT's idea.
-
of cos i still rmb..
but then i still tink its impossible la.. -
it is a tall order
look at our local player, they don't have enough experience at all
if we can win the sea games, at a regular based, then maybe we got a chance -
with Mabok Tongue talking, you think it's real?
-
Now it has become a history topic. -
don't worry. Singapore will host world cup 2010.

Talked until so big but no follow through, the plan just died 'naturally'...
-
Why the plan failed:
You can spend all the money you want....
... but if you don't put your heart into it, it will never go anywhere. -
-
while it is good to have ambitions it is also equally important to be realistic.
-
fricken idiots wanted to buy success...
instead of fixing the problem which is no support for local sports from young.. they expect instant success and now after a crapload of money thrown away, nothing to show for.. -
How about starting from the point of asking MBT the realistic price of HDB flats and the realistic figures of HDB subsidies?Originally posted by bryanwong:while it is good to have ambitions it is also equally important to be realistic. -
he'll ask his boss and probably end up being told to go buy a packet of "humless" mee siamOriginally posted by dork3d:How about starting from the point of asking MBT the realistic price of HDB flats and the realistic figures of HDB subsidies?

Dun think they can buy success even.Originally posted by the Bear:fricken idiots wanted to buy success...

Everything our Govt spluge on, turns it into instant disaster!!
My bet is if they buy a international sports team, it will fly straight down into the bottom of it's league.

We barely made it to become SEA champions (Tiger Cup aka ASEAN Football Championship), never made it to AFC Asian Cup, how to go World Cup?
i think i'm contended watching Kampung style soccer. It's better than throwing your face at the World's biggest soccer tournament.
Cheers.

Try to win the SEA games gold first la

Yeah... My views here are pretty netural.. Of course everyone hopes to see Singapore name on the world cup list. WHich singaporean doesnt want to?
The govt has been doing a great job. Remember DOHA games? They pulled out our water polo teams and another sports (forget liaoz) so that the soccer teams can go and play. Remember? BEfore opening ceremony... Our soccer team is back in singapore. Its DOHA games rite? or was it another event?
Sg has also been spending bucks in trying to make the stadiums a "world-class" standard like paying better money for the grass in the stadiums... Currently the best pitch gotta be the one in Jalan Besar stadium?
Foregin imports of "talented" soccer players... Another big cost of expenses for singapore. Giving them citizenship of Sg and accomodation isit?
I mean... The govt is doing all their best to make singapore soccer a better standard... But... are our players getting anywhere? Lots of money being pump into the dreams of GOAL 2010. But now its 2007. 3 more years onli. Can it be done?
I am asking this because I have been living this dream ever since the govt announced GOAL 2010. I still remember watching world cup and soccer reviews and there were GOAL 2010 @ the back of the screen... Makes me feel proud.. But as the years past by.. What has happen? Where is that goal?
If we admit the fact that singapore soccer can't make it to world class. Then perhaps the govt shld stop pumping so much money into the local soccer league and focus on other potential sports like Swimming, Water polo, Table tennis, Shooting, Gymnasis etc....
These are the sports that we see a future in it. Yet, its under-rated compared to soccer. @ least soccer we have S-League. But what abt other sports? Should other sports have the privilege like S-League too? -

ask singapore players to learn diving like c.ronaldo then got chance to qualify
every match dive for penalties -
gianpeng you sure duno when to stop
-
ghimpheng's mouth stinks for sure. ewww.

the probem is, soccer is not a sport where u can survive on. thats why all the parents don't want their kid to go for FT soccer.
with no passion, even got talent also no use. so they end up buying some FT. -
~Personal Opinion~
Most of Singapore soccer is based on the malay population which does not even number more than 1 million.
MBT failed to set up a plan to enthuse the Chinese to take up football seriously.
A failure right from the start. -
