Yesterday. singapore played indonesia in an impt semis qualifying match.

usually when there's some damn shit match in the epl, like watford vs shreffield or smt, there would still be some discussion.

well the singapore match was damn exciting.. really. similiar to a man u chelsea clash kinda thing.. just that the players unknown la.

i think we shd really support local soccer. the term local soccer sounds damn unappetising i know.. but just try watching a match its fun!!

Govt have to import other athletes from other countries and then slap the Singapore flag on their chests and asses and trot them off to international games

Ever try to watch a international sporting match with a Singapore athlete?

Chances are... "MADE IN CHINA"

Thats WHY no one gives a hoot

I have my own theory.

Firstly, Singaporeans are busy with work or school.

They themselves dont have time to do sports, or even have sex, according to survey.

As such, sports is a distant realm in their life.

Secondly, since you mentioned soccer, another complementary theory for this:

It is perhaps not nice to say, but, I think soccer in Singapore is un-glam.

It is not nice to dwelve deeper into it.

You mean in soccer scene?

Siao ah!!

I rather made in Japan or made in Korea. At least Japan can score a goal against Brazil in WC2006 but China couldn't even see Dida in WC2002....

Who have the peanuts to eat During Sports shows ? Where got so much time ? Sports is Gambling , Gambling is Illegal.

perhaps that many of so called " Singapore" sportspeople were no born in Singapore Question Idea

I was kinda aiming at general sports locally

Although S League players some are import, at least its a somewhat good mix of locals. Since Soccer worldwide trade players back and forth so i can accept that.

Yeah i think its true the avg singaporean won't want to be a full time sportsman.

How many sucess stories you hear of them anyway? People would laugh at the idea of Sports being your rice bowl.

Singapore’s stand: If we can’t produce it, we’ll import it. As long as the result is the same.

singapore sports is exciting.. really.
i guess theres too little done on the marketing side.

conversely, epl is so widely marketed.
