There was no escape in today's newspapers. Everywhere you look around, there's pictures of the Malaysian football team. That's right folks. You can not NOT talk about the team's latest triumph. BUT do not write off the Indonesians just yet. Their speed and will to win should be be written off easily, even though we have a comfortable 3 goal cushion going into the 2nd leg. Full praise to the magnificent coach K. Rajagopal for making a superb tactical change in the second half. It was a tactical genius that led to the all out attack in the second period. The crowd of close to 70,000 screaming and roaring on the Malaysian Tigers did not disappoint either. They showed our neighbours that the Bukit Jalil Stadium is indeed our fortress. Even my Jalan Eaton family was watching the game. Kak Nana & Ieja busy tweeting about the game. It even made Kak Nana google-ing about the goalkeeper, when he unceremoniously walked out from the pitch. A controversial laser beaming into the eyes of the Indonesian players was a small setback from a glorious night of great football. Other than that, my wish is that the coach and the players do not lose their heads and think that it's over. We have another 90 minutes to complete the job. Win it, and you'll be remembered as Malaysia's revival from the football world. MALAYSIA BOLEH!!! BOLEH MENANG!!!
