Laos the bogey team, Malaysia finalises team

Perhaps some folks are being polite, giving the small football nation their fair share of space in the dailies.


Singapore's Today Online says Laos are possibly the bogey team.

And it looks like the Laos team are in an upbeat mood.

Malaysia play Laos in their second match on Nov 28. Judging by their performances in the series of friendly matches, they cannot take Laos for granted. After all, skipper Safiq Rahim did caution his team mates against playing Bangladesh and it turned out to be a 1-1 draw.

On paper, Laos have no chance of advancing beyond Group B for they have the likes of Singapore and Indonesia as company.

Nevertheless, do expect Laos to create at least an upset - as they did in the 2-2 draw against Thailand in the opening match in 2010 which certainly surprised many.

Hopefully the upset will not be against Malaysia.

And here is the finalised list for the Malaysian squad;

Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, Farizal Marlias, Mahalli Jasuli, Mohamad Fadhli Mohd Shas, Muhammad Zubir Mohd Azmi, Faizal Muhammad, Mohamad Aidil Zafuan Abdul Radzak, Bunyamin Umar, Azmi Muslim, Amar Rohidan, Baddrol Bakhtiar, Wan Zack Haikal Wan Nor, Azamuddin
Mohd Akil, S. Kunalan, Safiq Rahim (captain), Shakir Shaari, Gary Steven Robbat, Mohd Khyrill Muhymeen Zambri, Ahmad Fakri Saarani, Ahmad Hazwan Bakri, Norshahrul Idlan Talaha, Safee Sali.

HD says: Never take things or people for granted.

Papa win, papa win.

Those were the words of three-year-old Dasha Ong. National coach Ong Kim Swee has not seen his wife Alodle Donna Derick, Dasha and his seven month old baby Dashie for almost a month. And the words of Dasha just hours prior the kick off between Indonesia and Malaysia in the final certainly motivated Kim Swee. In return, Kim Swee motivated the lads and they won. Read more in today's Mailsport. As expected members of the Press - even those not from the Sports Desk - had numerous questions for Kim Swee. Some wanted Kim Swee to share his experience in Jakarta, others were penning down every word of his when he slammed the organisers for their antics which certainly disturbed him and the boys. But the celebrations must come to an end as Kim Swee and the Olympic lads will now face Syria in the Asia zone Olympic qualifiers tonight (8.45pm). And Kim Swee had this to say: "The players are tired but with the support of the fans, if they come in full force, perhaps that will motivate our...

From 'Mr P' to 'Kemelut Dalaman BAM': Four chapters of 'mesej Whatsapp layang'

Image
Surat layang , or rather ' mesej Whatsapp (or some will pronounce as Wasup) layang '. That was what I received this afternoon from a number that is not registered on my phone. The sender identified him/herself as " ahli yg memerhati tingkah laku BAM " (Badminton Association of Malaysia). The four chapters were titled as:  'Siapa dia Tan Sri BAM "Mr P"' Perletakan Jawatan Presiden BAM 'Siapa Tengku Zafrul' Kemelut Dalaman BAM There were many allegations to which the sender justified as not " fitnah " but " hakikat apa yg berlaku ". The four chapters highlights Mr P's "connection kuat ", goes into why Tengku Zafrul was named as the incoming BAM president, and takes issue with the establishment of 'Yayasan Badminton Nasional' and Akademi Badminton Malaysia. The writer (unsure if the sender is also the writer) also wrote that ' majority in the Council dalam BAM semua tak berani buat laporan sebab tak...
