Malaysia vs Singapore 2nd Leg World Cup Qualifier Review

Assalamualaikum and hello to all my Infinitesane visitor.

Again, I'm deeply sorry for a very late entry about the World Cup 2014 qualifier match between Malaysia vs Singapore. I notice a lot of Singaporeans visited this blog to read about that match review. I'm really trying to relief the frustration I'm having these few days. I'm sorry because this entry is not much about that match but the situation post-match. However, firstly I would like to congratulate Singapore team that manage to go to the third round again.

Even though I said I'm not going to tell much about that match, I'll start with a simple review about that match.

Firstly, I would like to talk about Singapore team performance. What's good about them is they got naturalized citizen, and they they really an experienced players in many aspect. They didn't waste opportunities to score goals. If it is not Khairul Fahmi's top performance, we may conceded a lot more goals. You can see Malaysian players always do a lot more passing error and wasted opportunities in front of goal. Maybe they're still young and inexperienced. Singaporean players also are really good on acting. Just to quote a newspaper report, "their acting is much better than Christiano Ronaldo". Just imagine how good it is. Well, even this tactic seems cruel, not gentleman and mean, it really work. Malaysia game play and game flow get distracted. As a result, the attacking play that Malaysia want to play not really working.

Malaysia on the other side, not playing with many key players. Shahrul Idlan Talaha (injured), Safiq Rahim (Suspended), Aidil Zafuan (played for a while, then get injured again). Thank you to Khairul Fahmi Che Mat that get back his top form so that Malaysia not conceded more goals. Safee Sali is always a superb but without support, not much he can do. And the defensive line was better than when they played in Singapore. The goal conceded was definitely their mistake again. Singaporeans should thank Asraruddin Putra for ball watching and easily allowing a player to run in front of him without making a pressure.

As a conclusion, Malaysia need to develop more quality players like Shahrul Idlan Talaha, Safiq Rahim and Safee Sali. Their confidence against whoever their opponent is awesome. I still have hope with the olympic squad though. They win against a Slovakian club lately on their home ground.

First Half Highlight:

All goals Highlight:

Let's talk about post-match. I'm pretty pleased with the fans reaction after the match. It's true that Malaysia team was not at their best on that night, and it's disappointing fans. HOWEVER, most of the fans still standing behind them. The media also had changed their attitude upon the failure. If you want to compare the scene before "the rise of the tigers", when Malaysia team lost or played badly, the media will surely made a bad report to them, but this time none of the mainstream media talk bad about them. It did mention the defensive weakness, but they also make a lot of article that to cheer them up and motivate players to learn from their mistake and to improve themselves to strive in future since they're still young and can played in 10 more years.

In my opinion, even though Malaysia team were not at their best last night due to the lack of chemistry, they show their spirit to win it whatever it takes to appreciate fans who comes to stadium. The stadium once again made history for a full house attendance. Something we don't see 10 years ago. And seeing Shahrul Idlan Talaha shed in tears at spectators seats, touched fans. And Safiq Rahim welling tears at interview session shows his frustration. To "Malayan Tiger", we still behind your back supporting all of you. Never give up and hope you'll be the best in the world.

However, I do have some pissed off moment:
1. Why Fakri Sa'rani played since I think he's not bring impact to the game even in the first leg.
2. Why Baddrol Bakhtiar and Ashaari didn't play because I personally think they're better than Fakri Sa'rani.
3. Why they loved to played fancy and tricky pass and at the end the pass didn't delivered. Why the pass need to go through leg? What is important is the pass delivered, It's not about how beautifully or tricky or skillfully the pass is.

That's is the only point I'm really pissed off.

That's it for now, I'm truly sorry for a bad grammar in this entry. My body is not feeling well after having durians too much, so my brain is not functioning well.

See you later, Hasta luego, Mata ne

Ucapan khas menjelang perlawanan kelayakan Piala Dunia Malaysia vs Singapura

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera kepada semua pengunjung Infinitesane.

Entri kali ini ialah tentang ucapan dan kata-kata semangat saya menjelang perlawanan hari Malaysia menentang Singapura untuk kelayakan Piala Dunia pusingan kedua timbal balik kedua di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil. Sebelum saya memulakan entri ini, ingin saya meminta maaf atas kekasaran bahasa pada entri sebelum ini. Pastinya ada segelintir orang berpendapat bahawa saya ini lalang dan sebagainya. Jangan salah faham. Saya kecewa dan menunjukkan apa masalah yang perlu diselesaikan. Samada saya sediakan penyelesaiannya atau tidak, itu perkara kedua. Dengan teguran saya itu, saya berharap pasukan kesayangan saya ini akan meningkatkan mutu persembahan mereka. Jadi, sekali lagi saya meminta maaf, saya akan sentiasa menyokong kalian samada kalian menang atau seri atau kalah. Tapi kalau boleh, biarlah kurangkan kalah ya?

Baiklah, sebagai seorang penyokong, menjadi tanggungjawab kita untuk memberi sokongan kepada pasukan kesayangan kita. Kepada muslimin dan muslimat, banyak-banyakkanlah doa kita kepada mereka agar mereka berjaya. Saya tak pernah melupakan mereka dalam doa saya. Begitu juga pemain-pemain yang beragama Islam, berdoa dan berserahlah setelah berusaha bersungguh-sungguh. Kalah atau menang itu lumrah.

Sekarang demam bola sepak Malaysia melanda negara dengan penjualan tiket yang habis 60,000 pada hari pertama dan bakinya dijual pada hari kedua dan habis dalam masa dua jam sahaja yang mana mengundang amarah peminat yang menunggu lama untuk mendapatkan tiket dan menimbulkan spekulasi tentang ulat-ulat tiket yang menangguk di air yang keruh. Tak mengapalah, tonton sahaja di televisyen dan bersama mendoakan mereka.

Secara peribadi, saya sebenarnya tak kisah tentang kalah menang, YANG PENTING, pemain-pemain Malaysia mempamerkan persembahan bertenaga dan menarik untuk kepuasan penonton yang MEMBAYAR tiket.

Tentang keputusan, saya rasa TAK MUSTAHIL SANGAT SANGAT MALAYSIA MAMPU MENJARINGKAN BANYAK GOL. Kerana saya melihat bahagian serangan Malaysia berfungsi dengan baik. Namun, ada lagi suara-suara sumbang memperlekehkan kemampuan jentera serangan Malaysia. Katanya, tak mungkin Malaysia mampu menjaringkan gol sebanyak itu. Pendapat saya, kalau kita pegang game, dan midfielder sedap main bola, bola pun cantik je flow dia ke striker, 10-0 pun tak mustahil. Yang menjadi punca kekalahan tempoh hari adalah barisan pertahanan. Tapi tak guna kita ungkit lagi, takut terganggu mental mereka. Mana mungkin serangan kita tak bagus bila kita mampu bangkit setelah ketinggalan 4-1? Tak bagus lagi ke? Agaknya kena tunggu Malaysia menang World cup dulu agaknya baru terpadam pemikiran negatif beliau yang sangat saya hormati itu. Atas dasar profesionalisme, saya tak akan mendedahkan siapa beliau. Dalam permainan bola sepak, ia mementingkan kesefahaman dan gerak kerja sepasukan, naturalisasikanlah Lionel Messi atau Christiano Ronaldo sekalipun, kalau tiada kerjasama, tak menang juga. Percayalah, dari penjaga gol, ke barisan pertahanan, ke barisan midfield hingga ke striker, semua sama penting. Semua gena bergerak sebagai satu pasukan.

Untuk Harimau Malaya, peminat sudah berkorban wang dan masa kepada anda, tinggal anda sahaja perlu menterjemahkannya di atas padang. Akhir sekali dari saya, saya cipta lagu mini khas untuk Harimau Malaya. Harap anda suka. Saya belum mahir bermain gitar dan saya memandang lirik kerana rakaman dilakukan sejurus selepas selesai lagu digubah.

Setiap kali kau diuji,
Kau tak gentar 'tuk menghadapi,
Bagai harimau,
Kaulah wira

Berjuanglah demi negara,
Melangkah kaki ke puncak dunia,
Tiada apa yang ditakuti,
Melainkan hatimu sendiri

Tunjukkan kepada musuhmu,
Belangmu yang datangkan gerun,
Musnahkan dia,
D E A D

Setiap kali kau diuji,
Kau tak gentar 'tuk menghadapi,
Bagai harimau,
Kaulah wira

p/s: Skuad Olimpik beroleh kemenangan pertama pada perlawanan pertama mereka pada jelajah Slovakia mereka. Tahniah. Baca lagi>>

Copa America belongs to Uruguay!!!

Assalamualaikum and Hello to all Infinitesane visitor,

Today is also a short entry about the recent Copa America tournament, I would like to congratulate Uruguay for winning it for their 15th times. Denying Paraguay in Final by 3-0, scored by Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan. I'm not on Paraguay side actually because I don't like the idea of winning by penalty even though Uruguay defeated Argentina by penalty shoot out, they put a great game. Penalty shoot out is just like tossing coin competition. Maybe that shows us that they have great defense but I would like to be entertained by the match. So, I'm very pleased by Uruguay performance that night. They played well and deserved to be the champion.

That's all for now,
See you tomorrow, Hasta mañana, Mata ashita...
