Malaysian soccer. A new beginning??

After losing 5-1, 5-0 and 2-0, the whole world know the status of Malaysian soccer. Mediocre at best. Most of the Vice Presidents has resigned and so has the General Secretary. The coach is going to go off soon. The parliament has said that this is a National issue. Some have said that it was a mistake to co-host the Asian Cup and we have made fools of ourselves. The TV screens shows the late Super Mokh, Mokhtar Dahari, the only world class striker we had in the 70s and 80s. All living to the past, still searching blindly to the future.

Personally, I feel that this is the best thing that has happened to Malaysian Football. We've finally woken up from our slumber. Finally changing channels from the English Premier League and care about the national team. Hopefully, a new FAM will emerge and set some realistic goals. We don't need to send players to the Premier League. Send them to Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and see if they can stand it. I do hope we can produce some good players. There are 25 million Malaysians, we only need 11 footballers. Good luck guys
