Malaysian soccer team. What's new? Nothing much

First of all, I would like to make it clear that this is just a fan's view and I will always be a Malaysian team supporter for life. Having said that, here is the fact

"CHINA proved to be head and shoulders above Malaysia when they beat the hosts 5-1 in an Asian Cup Group C match at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil last night." New Straits Time July 11th.

I expected them to lose but 1-5?? At home soil with 18,000 fans cheering them on?? This team did win against Cambodia but lost against Jamaica under-21 and another team which I can't recall. They should have had their tactics figured out by then. But were outclassed. This is when the other host countries, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand were celebrating good results.

The only game which I remember where Malaysia was exciting was when we beat Thailand 2-1 in the 2003 Tiger Cup and there was some hope for the team but it turned out to be a false dawn.

The only positive is that this is the first game. Hopefully, the manager will go on a shouting spree with the team and the team will say, " We played like *#@t tonight but were going to kick some a%$ tomorrow". Help us to help you, guys. Malaysia boleh
