Malaysian football... we never learn

Malaysia.. FAM.. stop dreaming.. stop staying on the past... History is always history and will always be history. Please move forward. We are in 2008. It has been decades since our football team among strongest in Asia.

BUT, now is different, we are among the weak not Asia, but in Asean itself. We hardly compete with Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar, Laos, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philiphines, and even Timor Leste.
Just look at our rangking now. Below Palestine. And all those country are at chaos, not stable, or just free from war and still develop. Why? What has happen? Where are our strong players? Why FAM never change? Why we still have people that never play football or involve directly with football during their era (young age) in the organization? He has been with FAM for many years and what has he brings? Nothing.. upsss there is one thing.. HUMILIATING.

What else, except Khairy which I saw him did something (with MYTEAM and few other related things), other team members in FAM were hardly known to public. There are just there because they know one things better than football.. POLITICS.

Just have a look on Japan and Korea. Long ago we could defeat or at least compete with them. But now, they have been in world cup and we are still struggle to win Merdeka cup with the team involve were just normal club and we can even get through semi final in SEA.

I believe I'm not just they only malaysian that feel sad with our current position. Just have a look at England. They did not managed to get through to EURO cup and the coach@manager were fired right after the last game. What happen here? Sathia is still in charge after failing to deliver gold medal (and not event through to semi final). What happen to one of our players, Titus Palani? Why he was not in the team? He was still below 23. If the reason of not putting he in due to his age was 19 or 20 (and reason want to put him for team under 21), just look at team like MU, Arsenal, Chealsea, Brazil, etc.. they have players as young as 18 in the team.

Normal reason giving to us when we loss or could not compete or even before game:
1. They are taller than us and they play high ball - hey FAM, have you open your eyes? We have tall players too. Beside, try to look on Romaria, Maradona and Roberto, they are not that tall. Look at Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia (bambang pamungkas), etc.. their height as as equal as us. So don't used this stupid reason.

2. They are strong than us. They just push us a bit and we fly out of the field - Ha ha ha ha X1000 times... Same as above. Beside if so, why can't we study what they ate and how the train to be strong. In Asia (or even ASEAN), the height and the size of the players are equally balanced. Beside that, we have food therapist, and few more and also better technology compare to Laos, Myanmar, or even Palestine in term of foods, so, what's wrong in that?

3. They are good team -Just look at Greece, it was normal country and none of them played in best club. BUT the win EURO once (now their players get to play across EUROPE).

4. We can't play in europe or outside malaysia due to weather condition - Hey man... if they can play here why can't we play there?

Well I guess, we are full of reasons. There is one phrase that my friend always says.. "If before start of the game you already feel losing or feel can't play or feel may be defeated.. YOU WILL LOST..".. so, what ever we compete, whom ever we compete with, we shall say that we will win or at least will do our best.

Beside that, we should put someone better top there.. And whom ever up there should be open to accept any opinion, suggestion, and even critics from all over (no matter who) and ready to change or exercise changes or being changed. But here, as long as I control and have the power, no one should critics me.. else you will be punish no matter how you do it (like what happen to Ahmad Basri). Just as he can't get a long with you doesn't means he was not good doing his job. If the person standby you are damn good, our football has gone better

Then, please don't used lazy players or unfit players or low morale players or slow players or too stars players. And don't depends on a player only (as when the player were injured or can't play, you will say that we don't have our best.. this is stupid move). Please use players no matter how old he is as long as he is damn good. Please not just took players from one state a lot (like happen during certain coach in-charge although some of the players chosen are not in top form. Just look at Dunga; he did not named Ronaldinho for a while due to social problem and unfit and not in top form. We should do that no matter how stars he was. Last but not least.. PLEASE CHANGE FAM.. THE NUMBER ONE SHOULD RETIRED.
