Preview to the BPL 2011/2012 season: United 20th title

And finally.....

MANCHESTER UNITED

Losing to Barca in the UCL final last season has become United catalyst for this season. Fergie has add youth to the team will maintaining the same team that win the title last season.

Yes VD Sar has left. Scholesy pon dah retired. But both player has been replaced with a new & younger player in the form of De Gea and Cleverly. Sapa sangka that Cleverly, a product of United youth academy is the final jigsaw to the Scholesy puzzle. Semua sangka Sneidjer is the one who will fit to replace Scholesy place. Tapi due to unable to agree to Sneidjer wage demand, the deal collapses. Dua player ni not the only addition to the team, there are Ashley Young who can play anywhere on the front 4 position and maybe the steal of the season in the form of Phil Jones. England future defend marvel.

Knape aku predict United will win this season title and not other team? Or sebab aku sokong United, so mestilah aku nak United menang the title. Nop. Based on their fixtures as well as other team performance, this season are United title to lose. Lets look at United fixtures against the top 6 last season:

22nd Aug Spurs 5-0
28th Aug Arsenal 8-2
18th Sep Chelsea
15th Oct Liverpool (a)
23rd Oct City
21st Jan Arsenal (a)
31st Jan Chelsea (a)
11th Feb Liverpool
3rd Mar Spurs (a)
28th Apr CITY (a)*

the last 10 games

17th Mar Wolves (a)
24th Mar Fulham
31st Mar Blackburn (a)
7th Apr QPR
9th Apr Wigan (a)
14th Apr Villa
21st Apr Everton
5th May Swansea
13th May Sunderland

Earlier before the season start, aku ingat Aug, Oct & Jan will be a difficult month for United. Tapi selepas their superb start to the campaign not to mention the mauling of Arsenal 8-2, there will be Oct & Jan jer might become United toughest month. With playing against United main rival in a space of a week in Oct might effect United title surge. Mana taknye, lepas jumpa Liverpool away at Anfield then kena play against City who squad depth is every team envy.

Then in Jan, United need to play against Arsenal at Emirates and Stamford bridge plak. If United manage to get a point from this fixtures, it will suffice.

The last 10 games plak memang favouring United with only the possibility of title decider with City will be the only tough fixtures, United will win the title by end April.

If last season, United with a rebuild team pon manage to win the title. This season with a complete team and an eye for a revenge against Barca playing in each of United player mind, it will be United title to lose.

Who will be the runners up to champion MU BPL 2011/2012?

Agak arrogant plak title post ni... Hehe. But its the fact. How ever you look at it, atas bawah kiri kanan. It is MU title to lose.

Biasanye aku akan preview each team punya strength and their weakness in order for them to win the title. Then as every season, aku stress the importance of each team to win all games at home, beat the top 6 team the previous season & hitting top form by end March. Tapi season ni a bit different as aku akan preview each team chances to become runners up to MU.

We start with.....

MANCHESTER CITY

This season the noisy neighbours is the top contender to held United from winning the 20th title.

Season ni akan showcase the real City team under Mancini. They have bought Aguero to reinforce they strikeforce. Dzeko will play a big role this season as Mancini like to deploy 4-2-3-1 formation. And Silva will be their Messi this season.

So lets take a look at City fixtures:

Against top 6:

28th Aug: Spurs (a) 5-1
23rd Oct: United (a)
27th Nov: Liverpool (a)
10th Dec: Chelsea (a)
17th Dec: Arsenal
2nd Jan: Liverpool
21st Jan: Spurs
17th Mar: Chelsea
7th Apr: Arsenal (a)
28th APR: UNITED*

Last 10 games:

24th Mar: Stoke (a)
31st Mar: Sunderland
9th Apr: WBA
14th Apr: Norwich (a)
21st Apr: Wolves (a)
5th May: Newcastle (a)
13th May: QPR

Kalau tengok dari fixtures City, they have a good fixtures dengan the hardest month will be Dec as they need to face Chelsea at home & Arsenal at Emirates. Their encounter dengan top 6 pon favouring them sebab they play away first to the opponent then main diorang at home. The last ten games pon tak le berat sangat dengan Chelsea, Arsenal and possible title decider with United jer yang possibly the hardest test for City.

The problem with City is their target this season. With Champions leagues as their new hunting ground, its not sure they can focus on their title quest or not. Memang la the squad depth tak perlu dipertikaikan, tapi maintaining the form will be their most important thing they need to consider.

Can they win the title? No. But they will push United hard for all title there is up for grab. No problem for them to become 2nd to United.

LIVERPOOL

Since Kenny Dalglish take over management after Hodgson debacle, dia spent more than £100M untuk reinventing his version of Liverpool. If dulu Benitez bring his Spanish armada, Dalglish has bring british to the team dengan Carroll, Adam, Henderson & Downing. So far, dia suka pakai formation 4-2-3-1 with either Carroll or Suarez main top. But for whatever reason, this season dia kurang deploy Kuyt into his first XI. Kuyt is important as Park JS to United.

Actually Liverpool can post the biggest threat to United quest. Sebab apa? Sebab season ni they can focus on domestic title. Al-maklum la, diorang mana main Champions League let alone Europa league. Hehe

Liverpool vs. the top 6:

20th Aug: Arsenal (a) 2-0
18th Sep: Spurs (a)
1st Oct: Everton (a)
15th Oct: United
20th Nov: Chelsea (a)
27th Nov: City
2nd Jan: City
4th Feb: Spurs
3rd Mar: Arsenal
11th Apr: United (a)
5th May: Chelsea

Last 10 games:

17th Mar: QPR (a)
24th Mar: Wigan
31st Mar: Newcastle (a)
7th Apr: Villa
9th Apr: Blackburn (a)
14th Apr: Fulham
21st Apr: WBA
28th Apr: Norwich (a)
13th May: Swansea

If tengok fixtures Liverpool, Nov. will post their biggest month as they need to play against Chelsea & City. If they manage to get past this hurdle, then it will be great for the team spirit. The only problem is consistency. Its unknown whether Dalglish manage to instill the believe to Liverpool players. If tengok season lepas, selepas beating United 3-0 at Anfield, diorang gagal untuk consistence sampai abis season. Knape ada Everton? Playing derby will be another test to the kops. Yelah, diorang tak banyak playing games, so playing against local derby is another test for them. At home will not be a problem to them, its the away games that might prove tricky. Another factor need to be consider is Steven Gerrard. When he'll fit, how will he play with Charlie Adam. So far, Adam has been influential to Blackpool... eh.. Liverpool.

Where will they finish? 3rd. They can be 2nd if they consistence throughout the season. Champion? Susah sket. Season depan baru bole kot. This season will be their trial season. Dengan domestic title je up for grab, they need to show those kops that they will bring glory back to Anfield.

CHELSEA

Andres Villas Boas...

Semuanye up to him. So far they manage to grind the result. Just like what United did every season. If this continue, they may get better position. But the problem is, they are grinding the result at home. Thats the major concern. So far masa preseason, AVB has try 4-4-2 & 4-3-3 in each of their game. Cuma playernye jer rotate. But bile start season, AVB dah tak rotate playernye. And they might stick to 4-3-3 formation. So lets take a look at Chelsea fixtures....

Against top 6:

18th Sep: United (a)
29th Oct: Arsenal
20th Nov: Liverpool
10th Dec: City
20th Dec: Spurs
4th Feb: United
17th Mar: City (a)
24th Mar: Spurs
21st Arsenal (a)
5th May: Liverpool

Last 10 games:

31st Mar: Villa (a)
7th Apr: Wigan
9th Apr: Fulham (a)
14th Apr: Newcastle
21st Apr: Arsenal (a)
28th Apr: QPR
5th May: Liverpool (a)
13th May: Blackburn


Chelsea will face ardouos task masa bulan Dec & Mar. Dalam dua bulan ni, Chelsea need to face City & Spurs. Itu tak masuk UCL game lagi. If by Dec AVB belum dapat his player to play his desire formation & tactics, memang masak ler....

Chelsea face a difficult last 10 games. They need to face City, Spurs, Villa, Arsenal & Liverpool. Itu sebab by Dec Chelsea need to maintain their good form. If not, they will drop out of the title race.

Where they will finish? 4th paling tinggi. It will be hard for Chelsea to fight against United, City & Liverpool this season. With UCL still in contention, AVB need to figure out what is his priority this season. League? UCL? FA Cup? Or maybe League cup pun jadilah? We will see come May 2012.

ARSENAL

Arsene Wenger is a good manager. Under his management, he have build the invicibles, he have nurture Anelka, Overmars, Bergkamp, Petit, Veira, Fabregas & perhaps the biggest of them all Thiery Henry to their prime and sell them at least £30M paling busuk. To the Arsenal board, Wenger is the best manager they ever have. Buy cheap, sell mega million. Normally when Wenger sell his player, he already have his back up plan.

But not this time.

Selepas dia jual Fabregas & Nasri, Wenger do not have a back up plan. They are his plan. That is why susah sangat Wenger nak lepaskan dua player ni. Cukuplah aku tulis cerita sedih Arsenal season ni. Jom tengok fixtures Arsenal against top 6:

20th Aug: Liverpool 0-2
28th Aug: United (a) 2-8
2nd Oct: Spurs (a)
29th Oct: Chelsea (a)
17th Dec: City (a)
21st Jan: United
25th Feb: Spurs
3rd Mar: Liverpool (a)
7th Apr: City
21st Apr: Chelsea

The last 10 games:

17th Mar: Everton (a)
24th Mar: Villa
31st Mar: QPR (a)
7th Apr: City
9th Apr: Wolves (a)
14th Apr: Wigan
21st Apr: Chelsea
28th Apr: Stoke (a)
5th May: Norwich
13th May: WBA (a)

Season ni bakal menduga Wenger in how to manage a team in transition. Cesc memainkan peranan yang amat penting dalam setiap gerakan serangan Arsenal. So bile Cesc dah takde, sapa yang ada capability untuk menggantikan tempat Cesc?

Jack Wilshire.

Dialah bakal menjadi nadi arena... Eh. Nadi Arsenal season ni. Dengan dibantu Aaron Ramsey, Arteta & Benayoun, Arsenal mungkin boleh memcabar tempat ke 3.

If ikut schedule, by October kita dah bole tau sama ada Arsenal ada peluang untuk mengacau City & Liverpool daripada menjadi tempat ke 2. Knape October? Sebab Aug & Oct are the month yang bakal menduga Arsenal. The last ten game pon mencabar....

So where will Arsenal finish? My 2 cent telling me that 5th will be the best position they can get. Its up to Wenger and Redknapp to sort out sapa yang paling layak dok tempat ke-5.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS

This season Spurs are not firing all cylinders. They are not in the same league dengan the rest yang aku dah komen kat atas. It will be good if Spurs can finish 6th dengan recent record taking consideration.

So that is my preview to the season. Where is United preview? United will have a special post regarding their 20th title preview. I might tweak my prediction come March 2012. By then, kita dah ble nampak lebih jelas sapa yang akan finish 2nd to United.

Dugaanku...

On the way balik dari Selama pada ahad lepas, 14.08.2011. Pada pukul lebih kurang 4:25 petang di km295.1 arah selatan PLUS berhampiran dengan exit Gopeng. Aku, Erma & Ayra mengalami kemalangan yang berkemungkinan boleh membawa maut.

Aku gagal mengawal kereta aku lalu menyebabkan kereta berpusing 2x dan melanggar divider tengah jalan. Kereta aku berhenti di tengah2 lorong perlahan kenderaan; melawan arus. Aku bawak 70km/j pada masa tu. Hujan yang lebat menyebabkan keempat2 tayar kereta aku tak grip jalan dan terus membuang or skid.







Sewaktu kemalangan, aku rasa kami memang takkan selamat masa tu. Sebaik sahaja kereta aku berhenti, aku terus tengok Erma & Ayra dibelakang. Alhamdulillah mereka ok. Aku bersyukur banyak2 kerana kami terselamat dalam kemalangan itu tanpa sebarang injury. Cuma trauma je yang masih menyelubungi diri.

Tak sempat aku keluar dari kereta, towing dah sampai. Alhamdulillah juga towing tu rupanya agent insurans aku. Plusronda pon tak lama lepas tu sampai. Kami dibawa ke balai polis Gopeng untuk membuat laporan polis. Dengan barang yang sarat dalam kereta, aku tak tau mcmane kami nak balik shah alam hari tu jugak. Alhamdulillah abang ipar sudi datang menyelamatkan kami. Dah la tak sempat berbuka dengan keluarganya, dia gerak setelah kami setuju mintak tolong dari dia.

Kami sekeluarga selamat sampai dirumah pada pukul 11:55 malam.

Bila aku tengok berita pasal kemalangan maut dijalan raya akibat terbabas, aku jadi sedih. Aku berpikir yang itu boleh jadi aku atau Erma atau Ayra. Sememangnya malang itu tidak berbau. Maka cerita Final destination yang ntah sampai nombor berapa nak abis tu memang menipulah.

Aku ingat lagi tiap kali on the way balik dari Selama ke Shah Alam, selepas jer terowong dan menuruni bukit dimana dulu ada tol booth, boleh kata 90% lalu situ mesti hujan. So aku memang dah tau yang memang banyak lopak air bertakung di situ. Lorong laju memang janganlah lalu unless tayar kereta ko berdiameter besar atau ko bawak 4x4. Kalau tak memang akan tersekat2 dek lopak air tu. Manalah aku nak tau tempat lain pulak yang jadinya.

Ini kiranya kemalangan aku yang ke 7 sepanjang 15 tahun pengalaman aku memandu. 2 motor & 5 kereta.Dan 2 yang terakhir tu, dalam bulan ramadan tahun ni. Memang banyak dugaan aku berpuasa tahun ni.

Tapi aku bersyukur sebab ramai yang mengambil berat pada kami sekeluarga. Pada yang telefon bertanya khabar, yang bagi pinjam kereta untuk aku meneruskan kehidupan seharian & of course keluarga abang ipar aku. Kami sekeluarga ucapkan jutaan terima kasih. Allah sahajalah yang mampu membalas jasa korang pada kami.

Warna warni bola sepak 28.07.2011

Stadium Jalan Besar Singapura boleh memuatkan 6,000 penonton. Tapi bile tengok balik game tu, macam tengok kat stadium Uitm je rasanya. Stand hanya ada di kiri kanan padang. The only good thing about that stadium is, its a football stadium. Don't understand? A true football stadium is like the stadium in England. The stadium purely use for football only. There is no track outside of the football field to separate between the stand and the field. Macam stadium jcorp di pasir gudang pon ye jugak. So tak heranlah bile akhbar Singapura mengatakan tiket perlawanan Singapura vs. Malaysia telah habis dijual dalam masa 2 hari. Ala....6,000 je. Macamane nak penuhkan stadium yang berkapasiti 90,000?

Itu let's us Malaysian show you how....

85,000 tiket yang diperuntukkan untuk penyokong Malaysia habis dijual dalam masa 2 hari. Itu tak termasuk tiket ciplak dan tiket wayang lagi or even tiket tengok kat kedai mamak lepas balik keje. Kalau kira, mau dekat 20 juta kot penontonnya.

Biasanyelah, kalau aku tengok bola kat stadium lebih2 lagi hari bekerja. If aku gerak dalam pukul 6, sampai stadium aku masih boleh pilih nak duduk kat mana. Tapi on the 28.07, aku kena carik seat sampai kat ke 2nd tier baru boleh dapat seat.





Ini kira kali kedua aku kena duduk 2nd tier. By 7:00pm, the stadium dah penuh to the brim. Outside, masih ramai yang cuba masuk. Its unfortunetely that those yang memang ada tiket tapi tak dapat masuk. Mesti diorang pon tak sangka yang stadium boleh penuh 1 jam lebih awal dari kick off.

Prior to the match, ramai fan Malaysia yang memang tak sabar nak tengok and nak mencemuh player Singapore which is their captain, Shahril Ishak yang membuat sign 'Loser' kepada fan Malaysia di stadium jalan Besar tempohari.




Aku rasa dia nak bagitau yang fan Malaysia tak berenti bersorak sepanjang game dah macam pelakon Glee kot. Tapi fan Malaysia mana minat Glee. So of coz mereka mengamuk.

Pantang ada player or even representative from Spore camp turun padang before the kick off, semua kena boo and kena teriak loser. Aku rasa if korang tengok kat tv pon bole dengar rasanya.

Bila Datuk K. Raja keluar dari tunnel & masuk padang, that's when the whole stadium erupted. Its good that he came out and circle the field while clapping his hand to show his appreciation to the crowd that show up. It really mean a lot to us fan.

Aku puas la carik mana budak2 Ultras duduk. Sebab pada kebiasaannya diorang akan duduk kat area penjuru gol dekat dengan board tunjukkan jam. Tapi masa game ni, tak nampak diorang kat situ. Aku pulak duduk di penjuru gol dekat dengan scoreboard. Sekali rupanya diorang duduk tier 1 bawah aku. Patutlah tempat aku duduk tu kecoh sentiasa.

The crowd was phenomenon. Aku rasa inilah the best game I've watch ever. Unfortunetely Harimau Malaya tak menang. If menang mesti lagi gempak.

Cuma aku nak komplen pasal pihak pengurusan stadium. Diorang macam tak pernah handle crowd banyak plak. Dah tau game abis, cepat2 lah bukak pintu keluar stadium. Alang orang tengok wayang pon 5 minit sebelum abis crita pon diorang dah bukak pintu keluar. Inikan tengok bola.

One more thing that aku nak komplen. Please la... No more lasering the goalkeeper. Dah jadi macam trend plak bile ada game vs. Malaysia, team lawan dah tau pasal laser ni and taking advantage from it by complaining to the referee. Nanti sapa yang susah? Team kita gak yang susah nanti.

So tengoklah gambar yang suka suka aku amik masa game tu. Can't wait for the next Harimau Malaya or Harimau Muda action.

World Cup 2014 Qualifying 2nd round Asia: Malaysia (4) - (6) Singaberpura-pura

Aku mula stres pagi khamis, 28.07.11 tu. Satu, sebab aku dah lmbt nak g kije. Dua, masa ni la myk abis. Dah satu hal nak g isik myk plak. Tiga, bole ke Malaysia menang?

37 tahun adalah jangkamasa yg lama. Umur aku pon jauh lagi nak jejak angka tu. Tp sad but true... Itulah jangkamasanya Malaysia tak pernah lepas 2nd round qualifying piala dunia. Even di masa kegemilangan Arwah Dato Mokhtar Dahari juga gagal layak ke pusingan seterusnya.

After bersusah payah utk meloloskan diri dari Taiwan dgn bantuan away goal dan juga friendly match yg agresif dgn Arsenal & Liverpool, Harimau Malaya sepatutnya bersedia utk bertemu musuh tradisinya iaitu Singapura.

Lets recap the 1st leg in Std Jln. Besar, Spore...


<a href='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1Ls11c14u4M/TjQ5ku8xFgI/AAAAAAAAA7c/njpUVGzNC38/1312045426121.jpeg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1Ls11c14u4M/TjQ5ku8xFgI/AAAAAAAAA7c/njpUVGzNC38/s288/1312045426121.jpeg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 288px;'/></a>

With a good performance vs. Taiwan &amp; Arsenal masa Apek injured, Sharbinee was entrusted to be the GK. Defence same as AFF Suzuki Cup team. Ada muka baru dlm skuad ni which is Ismail Faruqi bermain as the attacking midfielder yg akan swap position with Safiq Rahim. S. Kunanlan bermain seperti biasa di left wing and as an away team strategy, Ahmad Fakri bermain as a right wing forward. Safee Sali yg baru je pulih dari injured, bermain as a solo striker.

Masa ni Datuk Rajagobal takde byk choice as Norshahrul Idlan &amp; Khairul Fahmi injured lagi. So he put a lot of trust to debutant Ismail Faruqi to show off what he capable of just like when he play for Terengganu in the MSL.

The game ended Spore 5-3 Malaysia. 1st half je Spore 4-1 Malaysia. Gile.... Itu pon, Malaysia lead from the 1st minute! Then, Spore came back strong through their import players. 2 goal from free kick, 1 from a lovely 1-2 by Mustafic with Duric. And before end of the 1st half, Duric again provide the assist for the 4th goal.

1st half tu memang laju nak mampos tempo game. Dah macam tengok game kat World cup or BPL. Itulah kelebihan Spore. The astroturf, the speed of their game &amp; yang paling aku tak gemar.... Their gameplay of falling apart bile diasak player Malaysia. Harimau Malaya terikut dengan tempo Spore menyebabkan kite main takde sistem. Kelam kabut.

2nd half baru nampak Malaysia dapat rentak or adapt to the game. Rajagobal memasukkan Abdul Hadi menggantikan Ismail Faruqi yg ineffective, Amirulhadi menggantikan Ahmad Fakri yang main macam haram. Malaysia mula menyerang dengan baik when suddenly another blow came bile Safiq Rahim dilayangkan straight red card selepas terjahan keras ke atas player Spore. Formasi terpaksa ditukar lagi dengan Amirul terpaksa bermain sebagai central midfield dengan Mahali bertindak sebagai wing back.

Malaysia kemudian berjaya menambah 2 gol dalam masa 2 minit hasil cross dari Mahali dan Kunanlan. Then Spore right back player plak dapat kad merah selepas 2 kad kuning. Disebabkan itu, Shi Jiayi terpaksa turun sebagai right back. Masa nilah Kunanlan baru dapat terrorize the Spore backline. Tp sblm game tamat, Duric berjaya menambah gol ke-5 selepas his turning macam Van Nistelrooy dalam kawasan D Malaysia sebelum meledakkan rembatan.

Game ni Sharbinee memang gampang. 3 dari 5 gol, dia boleh berdiri macam tiang gol tanpa mencuba untuk halang bola dari masuk. Midfield memang tak hidup sebab Safiq out and masa dia main pon, kena mark teruk dengan Harris.

Now to the 2nd leg.....

2 gol bukanlah susah untuk diperolehi jika kita bermain di bukit Jalil. Kita buktikan semasa AFF Suzuki cup final even masa lawan Liverpool, kite berjaya score 3. So 2 gol memang boleh diperolehi. Malaysia yakin dengan skuad bimbingan Datuk Rajagobal. Sebab tu dalam tempoh 2 hari, tiket sebanyak 85,000 habis terjual. Tu tak kira tiket haram lagi.

Expectation was high, aku pon ada di stadium. Everyone believe we can win. Even without kapten Safiq Rahim. Aku plak expected Norshahrul akan turun. Unfortunetely, dia belum baik dari injured. So this is the line up formation:


<a href='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qSKG_xP5_O8/TjQ5lKLylVI/AAAAAAAAA7g/XXz7RR3Gr9M/1312045429308.jpeg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qSKG_xP5_O8/TjQ5lKLylVI/AAAAAAAAA7g/XXz7RR3Gr9M/s288/1312045429308.jpeg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 288px;'/></a>

Its an attacking 4-4-2 formation. Hadi &amp; Safee Sali taking the front line. Amirul kembali sebagai right midfield. Ismail Faruqi menggantikan tempat Safiq Rahim. Kelegaan bila melihat Aidil Zafuan kembali ke barisan pertahanan namun ianya hanya buat 8 minit pertama sahaja.

Spore dengan kelebihan 2 gol adapting a defensive approach. Eventhough the first Xi is the same macam dalam 1st leg, tapi the way they played are cautiously, counterattack and slowing the tempo. As their coach said after the 1st leg, they are going to tighten the defence and marking our main man. And they did that. Bila Safee dapat bola, 2 pemain Spore akan pressure him. Same goes to Kunanlan. Juma'at &amp; Harris akan press Kunanlan or mark him supaya dia tak dapat bola. That's why Kunanlan tak menjadi masa dalam 1st half.

The game start with Malaysia attacking very well. Tapi bila Spore dapat bola je, mereka akan sama ada melengah2kan permainan ataupon rebah bila diasak pemain Malaysia.

Bagi penyokong Harimau Malaya &amp; peminat neutral, memang mengecewakan bila melihat averagely every 5 minute, player Spore akan rebah. Sama ada diasak atau mereka yang mengasak, mereka akan rebah. Tapi itulah taktik yang mereka pakai and it work really well.

1st half ended goalless. Actually Spore could have the lead by 2 goal if not because of ketangkasan Khairul Fahmi menidakkan serangan Spore. Defence Malaysia played really bad. Worst than the 1st leg in Spore. Qiu Li mempunyai banyak peluang bila Mahali overlap. Ismail Faruqi showed a glimpse of his true talent. Tapi kekadang dia terlalu lama memegang bola.


<a href='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rlmwlyrV1Ig/TjQ5lo32dlI/AAAAAAAAA7k/9htvwEve3jU/1312045431491.jpeg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rlmwlyrV1Ig/TjQ5lo32dlI/AAAAAAAAA7k/9htvwEve3jU/s288/1312045431491.jpeg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 288px; height: 216px;'/></a>

For me, other than Khairul Fahmi, Amar Rohidan played really well. He fill the gap left by Safiq dengan hantaran2 jauhnya yang tepat. Tapi dia seorang je mane cukup untuk merencana gerakan bila lawannya adalah Mustafic, Harris &amp; kekadang Shahril 'kapten loser' membantu.

Kapten Safee Sali berjaya score opening goal Malaysia pada minit ke-58 sekaligus menyemarakkan kem Harimau Malaya untuk mencari satu lagi gol bagi melayakkan diri sekaligus mencipta rekod ke pusingan ketiga kelayakan piala dunia.

Unfortunetely, sedang asyik menyerang, Spore berjaya menjaringkan gol bagi mengikat dan mengekalkan 2 gol defisit. Sekaligus menambah kesukaran Harimau Malaya.

Selepas gol Spore, Malaysia nampak buntu. Menyerang secara membabi buta tanpa sebarang rancangan. Ditambah dengan play acting dari player Spore menyebabkan rentak game semakin perlahan dan menyebabkan player Malaysia almost lost their temper (which what Spore want).

The game ended 1-1.

Eventhough tak kalah, tapi kita kalah agregat. Can we blame the players? Of course as a fan, kita nak team kita menang. Sapa nak team dia kalah? But please take note that they are boys not yet men. Average umur diorang ni awal 20. Spore? Duric tu je dah 41 tahun. Most of the Singa celup pon dah season players. So we should give them encouragement rather than salahkan diorang. But of course, the defence need to change.

There should be 1 player to organize or take the lead in the defence. Buat masa ni, Aidil is the man. Tapi since dia selalu injured, kena ada seorang lagi yang kena step up untuk take the lead. Buat masa ni, aku tak nampak sesiapa yang ada ciri2 tu.

Midfield pon kena ada back up or another character if Safiq injured ataupon suspend. Ismail Faruqi boleh fill the gap. Tapi dia still need tine to gel with the team. So siapa lagi yang boleh run the midfield?

Aku nampak Shahrulnizam Mustapa of Perak boleh fill that position. Aku nampak Baddrol Bakhtiar boleh fill that position walaupon dia more towards to attacker role.

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2

The long awaited finale has finally hit the cinema......

So how was it? Have u guys watch it? Does it live up to your expectation?

For me in some ways it does live up to my expectation. But in some ways did not.

Lets review it...

The story start where part 1 left. After burying Dobby, Harry, Hermione & Ron continue to search for the horcrux as well as the existance of the deathly hallows. They went to the Gragorovich ( not sure on the spelling ) to open Bellatrix safe since she was so concern on why the Griffindor sword is not in her safe in the end of Deathly Hallows part 1.

Indeed they on the right track as one of the horcrux was indeed inside her safe - Helga Hufflepuff's cup. Just recaping back the 7 Voldemort Horcrux:

1. Tom Riddle Diary.
Harry destroy it in The Chamber of Secrets.

2. Marvolo Gaunt Ring.
Im not sure when Dumbledore destroy it. But definitely during Half Blood Prince.

3. Salazar Slytherin's Locket.
This is the one that Ron destroy in The Deathly Hallows part 1.

4. Helga Hufflepuff's Cup.

5. Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem/ Tiara.

6. Harry Potter.


7. Nagini; Voldemort's snake.

Yes.. Harry is one of the Horcrux by accident. Somehow, Voldemort manage to transfee his soul to Harry when Voldemort curse backfire him when he wanted to kill Lily Potter.





Meanwhile.. Voldemort has assemble his witch army in order to find Harry as well as finishing all of whats left of the order/auror. Eventho he has at his mercy the most powerful wand; the elderly wand, the wand seems like not obeying Voldemort as he have yet to realize that the one who unarmed Dumbledore was not Snape but Draco. But Draco was defeated/unarmed by Harry thus the wand is answerable to Harry only.

So in this final episode, 4 of the horcrux was found. Hermione destroy the Hufflepuff's Cup. Harry destroy the Ravenclaw's Diadem. Voldemort kill Harry only to find out that his Horcrux who dies, not Harry and last but not lease Nagini destroyed by Longbottom.

With all the Horcrux destroyed and Harry manage to collect all the Deathly Hallows, Harry get to kill Voldemort.

It is sad to finally reveal that Snape was a good man after all. And Harry at last found out that how much Snape love his mother as well as himself after Snape being kill by Voldemort.

So that was the ending of a long journey into Harry Potter's magical crusade. I still remember how small Daniel Radcliff and not forgetting the cute-turn-gorgous Emma Watson during the Sorcerer's Stone.




So hows my verdict? I give 4 out of 5. Hope you enjoy watching this movie as it worth every cents that you invest.
