The 3 – 5 drubbing of the Malaysian team in a World Cup qualifier by Singapore, half-filled with foreign ‘has-beens’ has clearly brought Malaysian football euphoria back to earth with a thud!

Look, the Singapore forward is 41 years old for God’s sake …… and they couldn’t even handle a grand-pa!

Playing against the Arsenal and Liverpool teams recently (who were really on holiday!) showed how wide the gap has grown since the Mokhtar Dahari days.

It’ll be a few years yet before we can dream of the Towkays, Santokh, Shukor Sallehs, Isa & Ali Bakars, Wong Choon Wah, N. Thananbalan, Chow Chee Keong, Foo Fook Chuan, Abdullah Ali, Zulkifli Norbit, Hamzah Hussein, Syed Ahmad, James Wong, John Engkatsu, Hassan Sani …… and the list goes on.

We wait earnestly.
