really proud of our youth team! but at the same time, I think this really shows how overrated english teams are! the EPL may be the most famous in Asia here, but truth be told, it is only because of the way the league is marketed. The technical and tactical aspects are really lacking! or to be more accurate, completely missing, unlike the Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A sides. so it comes as no surprise that Juventus and Flamengo were way better then Newcastle and Everton.
i am not singaporean but i like singapore team and i wish they sucsess ,,, they need more and more training and they should stop waiting the ball ,, they should run and run to the ball and play hard not soft ..
note: i saw the first match and they win 4/3 after that i bought singapore flag and i put it on my flat but my singaporean wife lughe at me ….
i told her .. singapore ,, singapore ,,
singapore will win by 4
