Singapore vs malaysia

What a bunch of losers! Balek kampong lah!

Singapore and Malaysia will face each other again in the second leg of their second round World Cup qualifier tomorrow at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. In case you don't know, the Malaysians were humiliated 3-5 by Singapore during the first leg last Saturday.

Oh, and what bad losers were they with the Tigers' captain Safiq Rahim claiming that Singapore is noting without their foreign imports. Coincidentally, all the five goals scored by the Lions in the first leg were from naturalized players while Safiq is banned for the second leg due to a red card.

Maybe it is because that he won't get the chance to compete with players who are better than him that prompted Safiq to make such comments. It is certainly true that the Malaysian team as well as the Malaysians who supported them are sore losers.

If you lose a match, you can blame it on the referee, weather or even yourself but never your opponent. Your opponent is there for you to beat but if you fail to take the chance, then don't put the blame of him/her.

Seriously, if Malaysia was really that good, they would be able to win any team with players of any nationality. The fact that foreigners chose to take up citizenship in a tiny country compared to one that is 476 times larger than it explains the difference between the two.

Moreover, the Malaysian defence cannot even stop a 41-year old striker called Aleksandar Duric in the first leg. How are they going to fare when playing with younger opponents who have more agility and energy to boast?

Of course, Singapore is not going to have it comfortable despite having a two-goal advantage. The Bukit Jalil Stadium will be a living hell for the Lions with 80000 Malaysian bad losers cheering on their team.

Singapore's main problem for the upcoming match is the right-back position as Ismail Yunos is suspended after copycat-ing Safiq Rahim by collecting a red card in the same match.

Isa Halim looks set to be the replacement although there is also a possibility that Juma'at Jantan will be shifted from left-back to cover that position with Shaiful Esah taking over the former's role.

Either way, Singapore will still go on to advance into the third round hence making Malaysians aka ultra sore losers (the word "Ultra" is what Malaysia fans call themselves) hate their Causeway neighbours even more.

My prediction? A 1-1 draw where Singapore either score from a penalty or rely on some stupid goal. Most probably netted by a naturalized player.
