just got back from the Olympic Stadium to witness how Cambodia got a footballing lesson from the Lions of Singapore in a friendly match here in Phnom Penh. who was the better team... i would say its Cambodia, creating chances after chances but their finishing and crosses were just not doing it. opportunists they are, the Lions took advantage of slack defending and made it 2 -0 before half time. as the fourth goal struck the back of the net, Khmer supporters started to leave the stadium. great experience for me though the Cambodian crowd were not at all singing with grace.rare shouts from the crowd were deemed funny.
it started to drizzle as the teams came out of the tunnel onto the pitch. the light drizzle didnt damper any hopes of the Cambodian as many of them took shelter under the huge roof of the stadium. i would say that the stadium was half full, not bad the turn out... just that i was told by my Asst Manager, Phyrum, that many locals doesnt really come to the stadium to support their clubs from the Cambodian League... many prefer to bet on it rather than watching the game. well, seems all too familiar back at my homeland... hah!
match was pretty dull, until the last quarter of the match when flying tackles started to zoom in. there was a shout from a Khmer footballer at a Lion player too... well, guess it was all too late. seems that the last time these two countries met, the Lions won 5 to nothing... and this time, surely they didnt improve from the last outing.
applause to the local team as they did their best and tried as hard as they could but the Lions were just too stronger as an outfit compared to them.
F1 starts in 30 minutes... i'm late! gotta cook before the race starts! how ironic, its the Singapore GP. hahaah! Au Revoir!!
