It will be a great and exciting season for Manchester United not only for the Premier League but hopefully as they will think to capture back the European Cup. Signing Owen Lee Hargreaves from Bayern Munich and getting two new players such as Anderson who played for FC Porto and Nani who played for Sporting. Both are Portuguese's clubs and both clubs have great footballing history. There is a rumour (rumour may be so true sometimes) that Carlos Tevez may sign with the Red Devils for the coming season. And if this is REAL that will work smartly and interesting with Wayne Rooney. It will be exciting. My vote will be on United to win the league again.
Now back to the local scene, Malaysia the host to the AFC this year and that as usual, they lost to great China (1-5) in their opening match on Tuesday and was wiped out 0-5 by Uzbekistan yesterday. Both matches were played at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil (Home ground with Home weather and Home supporter) and yet we were defeated nicely by the two teams. Indonesia also lost but to Saudi Arabia (played in a world cup before) with the score 2-1. They fought well. Unlike Malaysia we literally allowed our opponents to trash us. It is so humiliating and embarrassing. Gone are the days of great Malaysia football like the days of Mokhtar Dahari, Santok Singh and Soh Chin Aun.
With the going like that, Malaysia football should just concentrate on winning kampung competition and be jaguh kampung. What the........ and will the big building in somewhere in England help our sportsmen.
I believe there are too many politicians who never understand football sitting and warming the seat deciding what's best for Malaysia football.
The resignation of the Tengku Mahkota must be seen as positive. He did what he has to and that has to be respected. He took complete responsibility for the defeat even though he may not say it. And he shows great leadership in being accountable and responsible. He has put in a lot of effort in bringing the AFC to Malaysia and as such with such defeats, he felt embarrassed. Malaysians all over are also embarrassed with the defeat. HOWEVER I call upon the whole FAM to ponder the future of football in this country and accept that we are in dire strait of overhauling Malaysia football and the FAM which includes the possibility of sacking top officials and the whole management team.

I just had a chat with my colleague from Indonesia, about the Asian Cup final. I was "red faced" to talk about Malaysia's results and compared to Indonesia.
