Regretfully it doesn't take much to stir anti Malaysian sentiment in Indonesia and the low life
scum who decided to use lasers at the Bukit Jalil Stadium the other night have certainly stirred up
a right storm.
Indonesia didn't not lose because of the lasers. They lost because they were beaten by a better
team.
Congratulations to Malaysia on winning their first ever ASEAN Football Federation Cup. Despite
losing 2-1 on the night, their 3-0 triumph in KL last weekend means they won the trophy 4-2 on
aggregate and, coupled with the SEA Games they won in Lao 12 months ago they are now undoubtedly
the football kings of ASEAN.
The one shame about last night's AFF Cup Final 2nd Leg in Jakarta was the absence of any Malaysian
fans. There were a handful sprinkled round the stadium but they were anonymous and for good reason
when you consider some of the hype that comes out of certain political elements here.
But something like 20,000 Indonesians were at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Malaysia for the 1st leg
and there were no brawls that I'm aware of.
Malaysia's ASEAN Football Federation Cup got off to a bloody awful start when a much changed team
crumbled 5-1 in a hostile Bung Karno to hosts Indonesia.
Things have improved since then however, starting with a somewhat fortuitous 0-0 against Thailand
where they defended stoutly enough but offered little up front.
The first leg of today's semi-final between Malaysia and Vietnam was played today in the 2010
AFF Suzuki Cup, the competition for south east Asian nations. Vietnam, defending champions from the
most recent tournament in 2008, were away in their first leg match and they were to suffer as
Malaysia took their chances and take a two goal lead to Vietnam in Saturday's second leg.
I was watching this interview with a successful businessman the other day and he was telling me
that he put his success down to intent and luck. I'm not sure what the percentage breakdown was but
he was quite adamant when he said that anyone who said their success was following a carefully
crafted blueprint was full of shit and I agree with him 100%.
It is being reported that Indonesia will receive an allocation of 15,500 tickets for the first leg
of the AFF Cup Final to be held in Kuala Lumpur on 26 December. The Bukit Jalil Stadium holds
88,000.
One bright spark has suggested the tickets could be sold through the Indonesian embassy in KL!
It's not often I've been to a game and not been able to speak or here the PA over the din of the
crowd. Some people may call nigh on 100,000 fans blowing vuvuzulas non stop a great atmosphere but
I'm not one of them. It's an experience much like riding 3rd class from Sungai Golok to Bangkok is
an experience and kipping in the back of a car in the Alps in the middle of winter under some
potato sacking is an experience.
