Default S'pore national football team reforged for World Cup qualifier

S'pore national football team reforged for World Cup qualifier

SINGAPORE: Singapore's national football coach has shortlisted 31 players to represent Singapore, four months after the national team was disbanded in early January after a poor performance at the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup.

Some observers said national coach Mr Raddy Avramovic should include familiar names who have delivered on previous occasions.

These include the oldest Lion, 40-year-old Aleksandar Duric.

Former assistant coach of the Tampines Rovers, Mr Syed Faruk said players such as Daniel Bennett, Mohd Noh Rahman and Shi Jia Yi should be considered, among others.


Some said Young Lions Captain, Hariss Harun is also a likely pick.

With the focus on youth, many of his team-mates like Fazli Ayob, Nazrul Ahmad Nazari, Afiq Yunos, and keeper Izwan Mahbud could also be included.

The rest of the S.League clubs too have young players with potential for national duty.

However, some feel age and reputation should not be the only criteria.

"As a coach at any level, national team or club, or whatever level, I think you got to pick the players based on current form, it's as simple as that, so let's not talk about ex-players and current players and things like that. On current form you pick the best players," said Mr Shasi Kumar, former S.League coach and player.

Selecting the best is crucial, as the Lions prepare for their first big test this year - a World Cup qualifier against Malaysia or Taiwan in July.

The Football Association of Singapore will be organising four friendly matches in May and June.

This will allow the national coach to make his final selection ahead of the World Cup qualifier in July.

Isn't that the same group of players before the disband?

whether disband or not, i think Singapore team needed a change urgently. The coach should be sack to make way for new coach. he had done a good job previously by bring Singapore team up but than i think our team standard is become stagnant and other teams from the region had improved leap and bound.
We need a new management to run the team again!!by changing the players is like change soup dun change medicine. its only a short term changes. while a long term plan is to development the current youth team but sending them oversea to train via club attachment and than bring that young team to compete in every national game. We might not see them win but they will improved and gain experience in every game.

by the time they had mature we will be a formula force and not just bring players from Stupid League so to speak and expect them to create wonders.

Can't we use the youth squad instead since they did pretty well. It would be good exposure for them rather then using old guards (we will not make it anyway) which very likely can't play anymore for subsequent WC matches.

pay peanut, get monkey!

Until the country takes a serious look at the remuneration package for local players, and let them make a career out of it, they won't likely attain their peak. Keep them on their toes, lose form, out they go.

If they gov can suka suka justify their multi-million dollars salary, why can't the local (Singaporean) players be paid better, to bring glory to the country? Do we need to rely on foreign sportsmen?

By importing foreign players, eg chinese table tennis players, we are just helping China to market their players, help them bring more glory back to their home (afterall, pple will all say, these medal winners are from china). In most table tennis finals these days, it's China vs ex-China (still, china).
