ASEAN FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

AKA Tiger Cup where Singapore is the defending champion. A tournament for SEA countries who just could not perform outside this arena. Was at the Singapore vs Laos match, in the VIP area. A win was widely expected, question is by how many goals.

VIP area is by invitation only. Basically, you watch the game in a aircon area with a small buffet spread during half time. Or you can watch the game in the VIP area above the grand stand.

A double digit scoreline was never expected. Laos simply lost their way after the 4th or 5th goal. Every 2 or 3 Singapore attack resulted in a goal. When it was 7-0, became like a training match. Or like playing against ChangKat Changi Secondary School 'B' Team. *Not even the 'A' team*

Took a cab to National Stadium ...

Cab : "You go there watch football ar ?"
Me : "Ya"
Cab : "Singapore ar ?"
Me "Arh"
Cab : "play who"
Me "Singapore vs Laos"
Cab : "Orrr ... "

Cab : "Never hear before leh"
Me : "Small country"
Cab : "Really never hear before leh"
