It was home ground. There were thousands of home crowd, even though the ticket price was crazy. It was home climate. It was our nation's most excellent and practically consistent game. And yet, the semi-final was the furthest we could get.
Our gold doubles thrashed out during quarter-finals, against JAPAN (in badminton, who the hell are they?). Our proud single, seeded second in the World Championships, ranked 2 in the world, went down to an Indonesian veteran in the third round. Others, since there was an involvement of the opposite sex, didn't destroy our hope that much. History tells that Malaysian male shuttlers are far more dominant than the females. The best of all, our veteran men's doubles, who brought back a pair of bronze home.
After FAM's boys humiliated Malaysia, now the shuttlers. Although it was not as bad as the national 'ass' football, it still shows that Malaysia, in many ways, is a kindergarten-kid in international sports (this doesn't go to you, Ms. Nicol).
Just a question. Why not anyone else? Why not someone who has more experience in sports? Why not someone who has passion in sports? WHY AZALINA?
Maybe next time, we may want to consider those who can really carry out their responsibility, not just those who can speak well, and never lack of ideas in giving excuses.
