The only time when we sing the National Anthem with so much pride and enthusiasm is when we go to the National Stadium to watch the national team play. Or during National Day.
I went to the National Stadium to watch Singapore play Vietnam with my Yuanching friends. Brought Martin Susu along.

Mygoodness it was such a fluke and disappointment. Singapore friggin' lost to some unsportsman-like and lowly Vietnam. As of now, I have little or no respect for the Vietnamese team. Proves how screwed up Asean football is.
High legs, diving and whatnot.

I should've used the $2 to watch a swimming competition. You cannot believe the amount of diving the Vietnamese team showcased. Stupid time wasters. And the stupid officials were from Malaysia. Great game.
Vietnam full of weaklings, on touch and they go sprawling on the ground, clutching their legs and faces, calling for first aid and stretcher. Some of them tackled the Singapore players and guess who was "injured". The Singaporean player stands up immediately while the stupid Vietnamese lies on the ground.
I did not pay $2 just to watch a $#%^& soccer match between Singapore and a bunch of wannabe actors.

My voice is gone.
Here are some of the taunts that we came up with.

When they go down, and stand up after a while,
"KANG KONG LEGS!"

"Go back to Vietnam!"

"Next flight to Vietnam one more hour!"

When having substitution,
"You going wrong way! Changi Airport not there!"

When they ask for stretchers,
"How many stretchers you want?!"

When they ask for first aid,
"It's okay, Vietnam got no proper medical care so you use Singapore's!"

One guy went down 2 seconds after he tackled a Singapore player,
"It takes 2 seconds for the brainwaves to travel through the nerves to tell him that it's pain."

Their keeper went down after falling on his own, then got up after 2 minutes and asked for water,
"You want water just ask lah, don't need dive!"
"Singapore for NEWater, Vietnam got NO WATER!"

While waiting for the keeper to get up, a Singapore player picked up Vietnam's bottles and drank the water,
"DRINK ALL!"
"SPIT INTO THE BOTTLES!"

While celebrating their win, a group of them were lying on top of each other,
"LIKE THAT PAIN OR NOT?!"
"People touch you, you pain. People on top of you, not pain."

After a few deliberate swings from the Singapore side,
"NEXT TIME KICK THEM HARDER!"

Of course there were the usual cheers that was made famous during the Singapore-Malaysia match last year.

Seriously, no professionalism. After this guy got sent off, he took his own sweet time to walk off the pitch. A Singaporean player then pushed him out.

The referees and linesmen got their own share of abuse too. Asswipes.
Stupid Malaysian officials. I shouted,"GO BACK TO MALAYSIA LAH REF!" Then there was a few mats behind me shouting that they agree.
There were alot of things they didn't see. If you watched it on TV, there are many things you didn't see too. Once in a while there would be a Vietnamese sitting on the pitch, trying to stop the play. Some feigned injury but when they realised the referee wasn't looking, they got up. Referees kinda friggin' stupid to even recognise the dives. Should have been more yellow and red cards dealt. Stupid Vietnamese raised their legs high and kept pushing the players.

I think there was a fight too.
Stupid match. Singapore played badly actually. Can't even score even though they had so many chances. Always play long ball, and then they lose the ball. I think Singapore can't perform at home. I can't imagine the amount of pressure they have on their shoulders because of the home crowd. I think the Kallang Roar actually frightens Singapore instead. Oh, the irony.
At least they had the honour of playing proper football and kept their cool most of the time. They had all the right to blow up.

However, such a disappointment, losing to $%^&*() Vietnam.

While waiting for the other guys.

Still waiting for the rest. But we went in first. Behind us is part of the Singapore contingent.


A wider angle. This time you can see the Vietnam side. It's the small red square on the left of the Singapore side.


After the match. Group photo. You can't see Xuen at the bottom right corner.


Candid group photo.


To spoof the Vietnamese. Lying on the ground, clutching their leg and face in agony.
Cheating @#$%^s.


You know what?
Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming! And I'm NOT excited.
