OMG….after the Golden Era where we produced Santokh Singh, Soh Chin Aun, the Bakar brothers and Mokhtar Dahari, we are going to stoop so low as to import foreign players to play for the country?? I call this TREASON not only to the history of football of this nation, but to all the rakyat.

Datuk-ship? Bah! The National Team (Team B I was told) can’t even whack MyTeam flat like what Argentina did to Serbia & Montenegro.
Maybe our nation team reflects the best of this land: Personal interest first, team objective, what team objective?
