Yeah... My views here are pretty netural.. Of course everyone
hopes to see Singapore name on the world cup list. WHich
singaporean doesnt want to?
The govt has been doing a great job. Remember DOHA games? They
pulled out our water polo teams and another sports (forget liaoz)
so that the soccer teams can go and play. Remember? BEfore opening
ceremony... Our soccer team is back in singapore. Its DOHA games
rite? or was it another event?
Sg has also been spending bucks in trying to make the stadiums a
"world-class" standard like paying better money for the grass in
the stadiums... Currently the best pitch gotta be the one in Jalan
Besar stadium?
Foregin imports of "talented" soccer players... Another big cost of
expenses for singapore. Giving them citizenship of Sg and
accomodation isit?
I mean... The govt is doing all their best to make singapore soccer
a better standard... But... are our players getting anywhere? Lots
of money being pump into the dreams of GOAL 2010. But now its 2007.
3 more years onli. Can it be done?
I am asking this because I have been living this dream ever since
the govt announced GOAL 2010. I still remember watching world cup
and soccer reviews and there were GOAL 2010 @ the back of the
screen... Makes me feel proud.. But as the years past by.. What has
happen? Where is that goal?
If we admit the fact that singapore soccer can't make it to world
class. Then perhaps the govt shld stop pumping so much money into
the local soccer league and focus on other potential sports like
Swimming, Water polo, Table tennis, Shooting, Gymnasis
etc....
These are the sports that we see a future in it. Yet, its
under-rated compared to soccer. @ least soccer we have S-League.
But what abt other sports? Should other sports have the privilege
like S-League too?
