Aff Suzuki Cup final post

Alright, this shall be the final post on the AFF Suzuki Cup since Singapore crashed out of it on Wednesday night.

Singapore's loss did not seem acceptable. They did not even give their one hundred percent when playing the match against Vietnam. Knowing that a draw is sufficient to advance to the semi-finals, they should just use the "park the bus" method.

That is, to have ten men behind the ball and defend in numbers. There is no need to attack at all (since the strikers aren't in good form either). This method would surely bring a positive result although it might anger the Vietnamese.

Who cares? It is still legitimate and as long as it benefits Singapore, why not use it? Vietnam undeservedly won the championship two years ago anyway. Now, I just hope Malaysia can finish them off.

There are many tactical flaws in the Lions, all thanks to coach Raddy Avramovic. Like playing 4-3-3 against Philippines before guai guai switch back to 4-4-2 when it is ineffective. Most people can tell that it is ineffective right before the match.

Choosing Muhammad Riduan over Khairul Amri when the latter is obviously the finer player among the two. Using Aleksandar Duric when he is already forty years old.

Maybe we should start a petition to sack Raddy once and for all.
