Tonight sees the curtain come down on SLeague 2010 with the latest Chinese side Beijing Guoan
taking on Sengkang Punggol in a 10th versus 11th clash.
Beijing Guoan have won of their 32 league games up until now but their presence in the SLeague has
been controversial. The people's favourite, as it were, were Yishun Super Reds but they were
dropped because the league seemed to think that what Singapore football fans really needed was a
Chinese team in the league.
Just to emphasize the importance (or lack thereof) of the two-game series against Italy on the
sporting landscape, there is no television coverage of the opening 7:30 a.m. Saturday game.
And no, I have no idea why ESPN shows meaningless USWNT friendlies on TV, but not a crucial
World Cup qualifier.
