Merdeka Cup 2008 & ULTRAS MALAYA so far

Today is the third match day of Merdeka Cup 2008 or its famous name Pestabola Merdeka has taken place, with already 2 teams have booked their semi-final tickets; Malaysia the host and exciting young squad of Olympic Vietnam Under-23. MBPJ Stadium and Shah Alam Stadium have been the venues for the first two matches of both group, A & B, but for the last group matches today and tomorrow, National Stadium Bkt Jalil will be the venue used from this last group matches until Final match, on 25TH October, alongside Shah Alam Stadium for Semi-Final match. This is most likely due to the very bad condition of the field surface that badly affected by heavy rain.

Malaysia started the campaign brilliantly well with a whooping victory, crushing Nepal 4-0 on the first match. Harimau Malaya then again demonstrating the same consistent crushing movement on to beat Sierra Leone; which unfortunate to come to this tournament late and registered their U-20 player, on the second match. And today, at 8.45pm Malaysian time, at National Stadium Bkt Jalil, Malaysia will meet talented Afghanistan side which fielded 3 of their German-based player. Should be a great match to watch even though Coach Sathia’s approach to field Malaysia’s second team, to rest our best player for upcoming Semi Final match and also at the same time, offer the opportunity to Malaysian Subs and Reserves to show their trick and skill to ‘tackle’ Sathia for a place of AFF Suzuki Cup upcoming December.

So far, the crowd have been pleasing and satisfied with our player’s performance. Score 8 goals and got past none, what an ‘achievement’! Personally, a great start that I never imagine. Remember last year campaign that we were the Champions? We didn’t off to this kind of great start. So, with this year performance, I have a really strong feeling of us again for the second time in a row win it!haha!

Speaking about fans, urghh don’t want to go into that can’t i? Erm as usual, Malaysian typical supporters. Bought the ticket, look for a sit, have some cigar, and the best part ‘maki’ the players. ’Puk*ma*, Fuc*er,But*h and all sumer kluar.Huhu. Macam lah aku x buat cmtu kan..hahaha. Erm Malaysian fans have to change their mind set from now on if we, dreaming of 1 day winning our first Asia Cup, and then barulah bley men World Cup.hehe..Support team btul2.Encouraging skit.

So, we ULTRAS MALAYA, came out with 3 large banner and 2 flags. We been on TV two times now. TV3 likes us. Huhu.What an achievement for this ‘budak lagi’ movement la I personally believe. And some more according to our Beloved Abg Amir who sponsored us the ticket from FAM, Datuk Azuddin, the boss of FAM below the Sultan, now recognized us too. Hehe. And Safee Sali pon ske kitorunk jgak. Haha. Sper2 nk join, www.harimaumalaya.com
