Politics + Sports = Datukship

I salute the Malaysian soccer team by winning something which has not been done for 14 years- winning the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010, and not just any team but over formidable opponents Indonesia. I hope this win will spark some inspiration for the current and future players to train harder and adopt that fighting spirit to win matches rather than just playing them.

Politics play in sports nowadays- and who cannot see it coming? Datukship, cash, cars, houses, etc. Give what you must and receive what you must (legitimately) but let's consider this Suzuki win a breakthrough and start concentrating in aiming to qualify for the World Cup ok? Maybe Team Malaysia can start to play a few friendlies with the teams in EPL off-season?
