Lions Made History


Our National Football Team made history after they were through to the World Cup 2010 third qualifying round where they will meet Asian top guns like China, Korea, Japan, Australia etc. They will battle to go through to the final qualifying round.

The Lions dug deep to secure a 1-1 draw against Tajikistan after going a goal down in the 4th minute. The odds were stacked against the Lions after several players were down with diahorrea and also poor pitch condition.

With the result, the Lions can proudly be among the top 20 teams in Asia. We are getting closer but the hard work starts now.

I'm delighted for the team and wish them all the best.

can't believe it!

although i wonder how many are really singaporeans. i haven't watched our national team for many years and the last time i watched was during the closing ceremony of the naitonal stadium. i thought they played really well, but i think like 10 players were imported?? it's a bit embarrassing i think, but as long as they play their best for singapore and "feel singaporean", i guess i'm happy with that!!

I agree with you. As long the team achieved results and the players feel happy, we won't complain. So will you be dropping over Singapore to watch the Lions play in the World Cup qualifer?
