2nd !st time

kk so this the 2nd time im starting a blog... the last one had 1 post then i gt bored of it
Well just caught a short video clip http://takgiu.rantz.com after geting the link of mrbrown.com. Its abt 15mins long and it laments the state or rather lack of soccer fields in Singapore. Kudos to the guys who did the clip. Personally, I feel the sg governemt can really do much more abt the state of soccer in singapore. They can keep harping on the fact that Singaporeans are not 100% behind the S league, but look at the recent Tiger Cup, the fans were there behind the team. I feel what the government should do is not just keep saying that it has been supporting the S League and wat not.. but instead encourage more youngsters to play the game. And how do youngsters play when there r so many signs everywhere that tell them not to. When the team i play in in sec sch wanted a field to train, we had a hard time searching before decide to just use the school field although it was not very well maintained. But then again how many fields in Singapore are well maintained?

Now when i say the gahmen shld encourage the young ones to play soccer, i understand that there can be detractors like my very own principal. I admit and its widely known that most soccer players lack the smarts in class, but like that just give up and dun try is it? ok i forgot we are singaporeans. Seriously fuck man. Don't talk abt Goal 2010 or 2014, if we fail to cross this barrier that soccer has no future then might as well set Goal 0000.

The balls really in the governtment's court, theres only so much people like the filmakers can do. The maths preety simple, if you open up more fields for the lads to play and a soccer CCA in every school, chances of unearthing the next Quah Kim Song will be higher.
Till then lets just takgiu and hope that we will see more glory days regarding Singapore soccer.


On a lighter note, CL draw in about half an hour. Im hoping liverpool get drawn with either bayern, lyon or PSV. No dirty italians please.
