Watching the Singapore- Thailand soccer match at hall 13 with the rest of the crazy soccer fans is a totally electrifying experience. Despite the utterly disgraceful behaviour of the Thai soccer team, everyone was super high, joking around and trying to see the stupid soccer ball on the small television set at the TV lounge. I've played competitive sports before and I feel that there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that supports Thailand's decision to walk off the field. Ultimately it is not JUST about the winning and the losing. The whole point of the league is to promote sportsmanship and friendship between the ASEAN countries and by walking out like that, they have utterly failed to do so. Thats the whole difference between foreign leagues and the AC. Referees are human afterall and you can't expect them to make a fair decision all the time. It happens all the time, even in the EPL. Everyone fights, argues with the referee's decisions, but they do it after the damn match, not during it. Its nice to win, but there is always something much more important than the scoreline and any sportsperson who doesn't recognize that should not be allowed to play. That was certainly not behaviour I expected from a national team, more of school boys.

The Thai media has also gotten into a frenzy, coming up with headlines such as "Singapore robbed Thailand of victory" and so on, just to sensationalize the news and fire up their country people using such propaganda. I hope that the Singapore team will be safe there. Unless they bribed the referee, I believe that they did not want such an outcome as well at the Indoor Stadium. Even if they won, it was a victory marred with all sorts of controversy and bad blood. Sports should just remain clean with healthy competition, not the cesspool that a bad decision and certain ugly behaviour have created. Oh and lets not forget the damn politics that seem to be creeping into something as innocent as a soccer match between 2 countries. Using propaganda for something else to influence the thoughts of the people on another issue between the 2 countries. Sometimes, I really hate the mass media.
