Our World cup dreams crushed but we have a bright future.

Yesterday we, as a nation has the biggest Football match in our recent years or in more accurate terms to say it, the most looked forward to match for Malaysia for the past one or two decades.

And you know what, We, Malaysia lost the match.

We were riding high after winning Gold medal in the SEA Games and winning the Tiger AFC tournament

Technically we didn't lost the match last night, it was a draw, 1-1

But we did loss the first leg, 5-3

Even though our team lost I have never been more prouder for the Malaysia team, like ever. They fought valiantly for the past two competitions and manage to get the whole country to come back and support them, Pasukan Harimau Malaya has done its country proud.

Props to Singapore for making it a derby worth watching. (Since we had a long history with Singapore, pre Independence and post independence)

Yeah, practically most of the Malaysian (including me) would say that the Singaporean footballers are not made up of Singaporeans who were born and raised in the country but we should always be graceful in defeat and let them know the next time we meet, its the Tiger's turn to trounce the Lion!!

Beneath are the news links for the match yesterday

Just for the fun of it, here's for me the player of match for both matches

Arguably the best striker in Malaysia and one of the best in South east Asia, Safee Sali
