Another debacle

Football in Malaysia.

Another year, another tournament, another debacle.

The list seems to be endless. Foreign coaches come and go. But still failed to lift Malaysian football out of the doldrums it is deeply entrenched. Not even Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho can help if the management sucks big time.

When I was young, I remember we can compete evenly with South Korea, drawing 1-1 in the Merdeka Tournament in 1985 or 1986 and we beat Japan 2-1 in the same tournament. The match was live on TV. Even in 1989, we nearly qualified for the second round of qualification in the World Cup, holding the mighty Saudi Arabia beforing losing out at Riyadh.

Before castigating the players and coach whom I think they have given their best, look at the setup..royalty and politicians running the show. They are not even players...
How much do they know about football management? Probably it is their pastime..nothing to do..hey..let's take charge of the football team.
