Foul!

Malaysia defeated Laos 4-1 in the second group match in the AFF Cup. Both teams were tied to a 1-1 draw in the first half. The goals for Malaysia came from Safiq Rahim, Safee Sali ( pic ), Wan Zack Haikal and Khyril Muhymeen Zambri. So will we now see a video of 'fans' singing 'Thank you Rajagobal'? Earlier Indonesia managed a 1-0 win over Singapore. It will certainly be an interesting clash between Malaysia and Indonesia this Saturday. HD says: What say you?  

On Sunday, Malaysia lost 3-0 to Singapore in their opening match of the AFF Cup. Right after the match, national coach K.Rajagobal said; " I don't like the score(line) ." Tonight, the Harimau Malaya lads will take on Laos at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil (kick off 8.45pm). At a press conference yesterday, Rajagobal was quoted by Bernama as saying; "I know the game against Laos is very important to us and of course my focus is to clinch all three points. I will make (major) changes in the line up for the game against Laos but I cannot reveal who will be fielded or dropped." Laos are no pushovers as evident in their match against Indonesia on Sunday. Both teams settled for a 2-2 draw. So what will K.Rajagobal say after the match? Will he like the scoreline? And how will the fans react after the match?

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 Sh...
