I would strongly encourage our government to buy the whole brazillian soccer team for the next WC if that means not screwing up our 2010 plan.

Yeah I know he went very far in the Olympics for Singapore yadi yadi yada, but itsn't time to stop lauding him and carry on? Wonder if he loves to see replays of that match. SBA is taking the national pride thingy too far and its becoming disgusting to watch, how many times do you have to repeat the same bloody thing on tv.
They had a plan to bring a team to the WC. it must be 20..something. 2010 was what I saw few years ago. Could have changed.reno77 said:I thought the 2010 plan was to give PRs to Sinchi and Abirex players and make them our National Team.

Sad? I'm not sad. Disappointed Susilo lost? Yup, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. But that doesn't mean I'm not proud of him. I am proud of him!LimCB said:Anyway, if it's not about winning, why are most people sad here? Even the minister wept. Go figure. Every sport is about winning, unless you're paid otherwise. And when winning is everything to some people, they DO NOT care where you were from.(Or rather, the do care ).
acroamatic said:Errr... first you criticize bringing in FT. Then you suggest that we should just 'import' the entire Brazilian football team. :dunno: :think: To use your words, "go figure"
acroamatic said:xueling put up a really good fight even after going two games down. she never gave up... very proud of her performance! and this from the world no. 47... she's already done herself and everyone in singapore proud.
LimCB said:Then explain why our government spent millions "buying" FT to play for us.
