Went to school as usual today in the morning but i wasnt really interested in the lessons..more of like going there for the sake of attending and copy down graphs and help notes. My mind strayed towards the National stadium, where Singapore will be facing Thailand in a showdown in the 1st leg of the AFC championship final.
Reached the stadium 2 hours before the match started and was really fascinated by the crowd that gathered just outside the East entrance. So many soccer enthusiasts! Can't go into the stadium as i have to pass tickets to two of my friends who will be coming later. Saw an army friend and was crapping around when suddenly a huge camera appeared to the right of us. Im on TV! haha...ignored it as i continued crapping.
Waited till 7.50 before my friends arrived..urghh! By then everybody was rushing into the stadium so movement was a crawl. When we finally got a seat, the national anthem just ended. Lucky us! Then kick off!
Didnt know how violent and biased we singaporeans can be until i heard shouts of 'referee' kelong at every single foul against the Thais wasn't recognised by him, and lotsa cheers and taunts for every ball that the Thai players gave away. haha, i decided to join in the fun too..but just the cheers and taunts.
Then Singapore scored after 15 minutes after some deflected shots and quick thinking but one of the strikers. Then everybody started to go berserk.
Most of the Second half wasn't a very cheerful occasion as Thailand levelled the game with a through ball that left the goalkeeper hapless. Then came the 82nd minute penalty decision in which the Thai players walked out ot the pitch with utter contempt of the referree's decision! It is the 1st time in my life that i saw such rudeness in the pitch! Utter lack of sportsmanship! Wasted 14 minutes and 19 seconds before they finally came back on to allow us to score at the top right hand corner of the goalmouth! OLEOLEOLEOLE!
So its 2-1 to Singapore after the 1st leg. Now its up to the players and the 96 fans who wil lbe travelling to Bangkok for the finale match on sunday! Go singapore!
