AVG TWO HOURS QUEUING TIME

According to my friend, he queued for 2 hours, and each NRIC can buy up to 8 tickets. The queue was still kinda long after he bought his tickets.

SORRY, UR WISH IS NOT GRANTED

❌ Most in IG story poll opted for a 🇸🇬 vs 🇲🇾 semi-final but it never materialized.

⚽ Instead, we will be taking 🇮🇩 in the AFF Suzuki Cup semi-final.

THERE IS ALWAYS A HUMP ALONG THE ROAD LAH

📝 "Nonetheless, the important thing for Yoshida and Singapore now is to not take the bait offered by their detractors, but regroup for the continuation of what is already proving to be a positive campaign." (ESPN)

🤓 It's not the end of the world just because of one bad performance, probably some just don't realise the need of a hump along the way to drive safely to destination.

ARE WE OPEN-MINDED ENOUGH TO CHANGE?

1️⃣ "The lack of positive vibes in recent years does not help Singapore football to give any random local fan the confidence and faith that it can pull itself from the doldrums when negative occurrences are the ones that often caught the masses' attention, inevitably, deepen that aforementioned misunderstood opinion."

2️⃣ "Having an open mindset is exactly what Singapore football needs most now, as we shall set ourselves to embark on a new journey even on small steps in the hope to achieve what we all hope in the end - the pride and joy it used to gel this country together."

DON'T LIKE DAT LAH

🎟️ It was told the tickets allocated to Singapore fans to both legs of the AFF Suzuki Cup semi-final match between Singapore and Indonesia were sold out.

💵 Yet soon after which several postings were made on social media that some of tickets are being put on sale at various online marketplaces for a premium.

😐 It is regrettable to note such occurrence that I feel for those who were either queuing online or on site for hours but did not grab hold of the tickets.

📺 Since those who could not get hold of tickets, there are always options like watching the matches at the comfort of your home where you can organise a Zoom screening with kakis to have chit-chat while watching the game. Wouldn't that be a good idea?

HARISS READY TO FIRE UP?

🗞️"Hariss, so often a dependable figure in the middle of the park, has also not been at his best in the last two outings. This is largely down to a lack of match time leading up to the tournament." (The Straits Times)

🤓 Will we see a fired up Hariss Harun in the AFF Suzuki Cup semi-final series against Indonesia? Let's hope so ... Good Luck, Lions!

LIONS SALVAGED A DRAW

⚽ Singapore's Ikhsan Fandi's 70th minute equaliser cancelled out Witan Sulaeman's well worked out goal in the 28th minute to salvage a draw before they meet again on Christmas.

⚠️ Lions need to work on the second ball

LIONS HAVE TO SHOW FULL POTENTIAL

🗣️ "I told the boys that that they must play on the pitch, they cannot escape (their responsibilities), they have to show their full potential," Coach Tatsuma Yoshida (📝 Yahoo SG)

🤓 Thought we need to be more innovative in our passes which so many were anticipated well by the Indonesians who easily intercepted and halted our moves up front.

DEFINITELY A BETTER EFFORT

📒 Got hold this group stage programme produced by Football Association of Singapore for their AFF Suzuki Cup group campaign.

👍 Definitely a much better effort as compared to the other one highlighted by this platform days ago.

SENSE OF OPTIMISM

✅ Judging from the unofficial/unaffiliated poll conducted on the platform's IG story, it seems all most are confident of a Lions' victory when they take on Indonesia in the AFF Suzuki Cup semi-final (second-leg) tomorrow (25/12).

👍 All the best, Lions.

GOOD SUGGESTION, COACH PARK

🗣️"This tournament only gets better with each edition with more sponsors, so we must use VAR from the next tournament. This will make it fair for every team." Vietnam Coach Park Hang-seo (ESPN)

🤓 Ok, so let's be prepared for those "finger tip" offside decisions decreed by the mighty VAR in the future editions.
