To Recap The SEA Games Final

To recap a game that will probably be ignored by the rest of the world.

• 120 minutes of pulsating football.
• a good referring performance
• a game played in good spirit by both teams
• an estimated 100,000 + fans in the stadium
• thousands more outside watching on big screen TVs
• 2 fans killed in crushes outside
• ticket boxes set on fire
• chaotic organisation
• Malaysia arrive and depart in armoured personnel carriers
• last penalty slips through Indonesia keeper's fingers
• heartbreak for Indonesia
• euphoria for Malaysia winning back to back SEA Games
• and all this for an Under 23 competition

Like I said, all that excitement will probably be ignored by the outside world, except perhaps the deaths, because South East Asia doesn't have its own football in their eyes.
