LCS did their lap of honour after their ACLTwo Final defeat at Bishan

You have to give credit to Lion City Sailors (LCS) for what they have achieved so far.
Some may say they have the resources that other Singapore Premier League (SPL) clubs can only dream of, but let us not forget how difficult it has been for LCS to juggle so many matches in the current season (having to feature in four different tournaments in the ongoing season).

This post is a reproduction of a reply to one question posted on an online forum on how to improve local football

It's a question everyone has been asking, and TBH, there is no viable solution to the problems we are facing.

As for now, I would encourage that those who have been to local matches, be it the national team's, SPL or even school games, post and share their thoughts on their socials with their family and friends.

I would think it will be the biggest accomplishment on the CVs of any marketing or PR (public relations) person if he/she is up to the task to ensure Lionel Messi's trip to Singapore is free of any hiccups.

Singapore’s 1-0 defeat to Nepal at the National Stadium on 21 March 2025 left many fans stunned.

With a higher FIFA ranking, the 160th ranked Lions were expected to overpower the Nepalese who are ranked at the 175th place, but instead, they found themselves struggling to put together a cohesive performance.

"Nasi Lemak" - a favourite local dish

After the match, a friend of mine used "Nasi Lemak" (above image, as credited), a beloved local dish, to describe the situation. Читать дальше...

My colleague was humming this tune (clip above, credit: insorlow) to another colleague before I replied, "Road to Wembley, lah!"

"It was a time when we were able to watch football (on TV) without paying extra (money)." I continued with that bit of reminiscing feel after listening to that humming of the tune that was played at the start of the iconic program that showcased the highlights of the FA Cup matches back in the 1980s to 1990s on the long-gone Channel 12 – the terrestrial...

Muangthong United (MTU) is one of Thailand’s most recognised football clubs with an impressive domestic to boost with.

However, when it comes to playing against Singaporean teams in AFC club competitions, the Thai giants have consistently struggled.

From past encounters with SAFFC and Tampines Rovers to their most recent hitting-the-kerb against Lion City Sailors, Muangthong’s struggles in Singapore remain a recurring theme.

1950 Malaya Cup Winners - Singapore

Without slight exaggeration, my eyeballs were literally popped out when I saw a black-and-white picture that came after a text message from a friend.
"Bro, you might be keen on this iconic picture from 1950" texted my friend, who attached a post-match shot of the Singapore team who just won the Malaya Cup that year.

I replied:"Goodness me, it was the first Malaya Cup win for us after the War.", after... Читать дальше...
