Dirty Tackle 04 November @ 05:25 PM EST
Calm down, big guy. Before you go and try to waddle off to Thailand, just know that FAT stands
for Football Association of Thailand. That has nothing to do with you, no matter how much you want
those free hamburgers. Yes, it is true that you're a fat player, but you're not a FAT player.
You're actually more of an f-f-f-a-t-t-t player.

Is the region ready to watch football from another country in the region?
That was a question I posed at the weekend and I sensed a slight sea change.
Since then I see one Singapore cable TV provider is asking customers whether or not viewers would
like to see ISL games.
And the ISL itself is also engaged in some kind of research as to whether or not a market exists
out there for their product.

The last I heard this end was that Thai international keeper Sinthaweechai 'Kosin' Hathairatnkul
was due to arrive in Indonesia at the beginning of this week but that had been put back because he
needed to get a new passport.
Then he would come at the weekend, despite the fact he would be on international duty with Thailand
in the Kata Cup but I guess the mouth wasn't aware of that small matter.

So the girls took on Thailand in the final of the ASEAN under-16 girls final in Myanmar, and though
it's not up on the FFA website yet, you can read all about it here on the ASEAN website.
Australia ended up winning 8-0, but the scoreline doesn't reflect that it was pretty close. Up
until the 67th minute, it was 2-0, but Sam Kerr then scored and it seemingly opened up the
floodgates.
