Much has been said about the whole MyTeam hype. I was at the stadium track and witnessed the whole saga. I was there to watch the "kampung boys" play the “big man” and played their hearts out. But deep in my heart I really wanted to see the national team to do the same.
Obviously it wasn’t about who were the winners or losers but after years supporting the Malaysian team, sadly there were simply much more disappointments than joy. So when the boys in yellow were jeered, we can hardly blame the fans. It was sad but should be an eye opener to FAM that fans has waited way too long for something to come out good from the national team.
Khairy Jamaluddin and J Lo lifted the malaysian football scene into a new era. It was the night when football was really appreciated. FAM however, still prefer to stay at the old level, and kept on saying that they're doing their job rite. However, bene fatto MyTeam for such an unforgettable performance.
I wish, both Khairy and Dato Ibrahim Saad and all other politician either within FAM and other sport organization to leave their post and left it to those who really deserve it. Politician by virtue of their ambitions always have an ulterior motives.
Malaysian sports scene will do better with politicians free. Ampun Tuanku!
In the end, on that Sunday night, it was more about football in Malaysia.
