Another not in time post.
Days ago, Manchester United had created a great atmosphere around Bukit Jalil. Yes, they came after 8 years of time! I'm a die hard fan of Liverpool so... ya I know you know it. I wasn't really excited about it.
With a 0-6 loss of last encounter, the media didn't really put any hopes on our national squad, especially when now our FIFA ranking is much lower than years before. But...
18th July 2009. Man Utd led a 2-0 advantage with goals scored by Rooney and Nani, but the next thing that happened was unbelievable. Amri Yahya scored a stunning volley which made Van der Sar unable to do anything about it!!! Wow, was that Malaysia national team? Then, an idiotic mistake by Foster gave Yahya a second chance to slot in another goal!!! 2-2 from 2-0? Simply unbelievable!!! I bet everyone was shell-shocked by that result.
Although Michael Owen (ya, that traitor of Liverpool =p ) secured Man Utd a victory, but the performance of Harimau Malaya was something that deserves a credit. The fact is such a rare phenomenon that Malaysia XI was able to let Man Utd to concede two goals can only happen once in a century. And it proves a slogan: Malaysia Boleh!!!
Credits to Man Utd too for a fine game and also a fine rematch. Rajagopal, please revive our national team! =)
