It was the clash of the titans tonight.
I can't believe Singapore won. By such a controversial penalty. Singapore has always been very lucky when it matters. This time they not only won Malaysia by the skin of their teeth, they also won Thailand 2-1 by a penalty.
When the Malaysian referee decided to award the penalty to Singapore, all the Thai players left the pitch fuming and refused to go back onto the pitch and play for a whole 10 mins or so whilst they disputed the issue with the referee, who, thank God, stuck with his decision. I mean...what kind of sportsmanship is this? I bet this only happens in Asia. It's so freaking embarrassing. The referee's decision is final and the players should know that. It was such a bloody waste of time when they could have just accepted it, played on and tried to win back the goal with the short time they had left. In the end after all that drama, the result was the same. I'm just surprised that the referee didn't award the players who were arguing with him red cards. If I were him I would be furious. He was quite patient.
And therefore Singapore again, scrapes through by the skin of their teeth. They may not be smiling anymore during the final match in Thailand though. If Thailand are smart, they would come back stronger, better and fiercer. However judging from their lack of sportsmanship tonight, maybe Singapore has a chance after all.
Do us proud for the 3rd time Lions!! :) We want to see Aide Iskandar lift the 2007 cup!
