AFF Suzuki Cup.

went to the National Stadium to catch Singapore play against Vietnam in the Semi-Finals 2nd Leg of the AFF Suzuki Cup. i was there with Qiplek, Nor, Kia, Fir and his cousins. i rate this the best soccer match experience i've ever had.

we were all excited during the match as Singapore played really well and had many chances. however, the chances didn't convert into goals, while on the other hand, the Vietnamese made good use of their opportunities and scored the only goal of the match.

i was really disappointed, not so much with the Lions, but with the score. i really hoped to see Singapore go into the Finals and lift the trophy. besides that, i wanted to end the 'last' match in the stadium on a good note. i've never seen Singapore lose on home soil in competitions - Singapore started their winning streak since 2002 when they beat Laos.

the fans were great, the match was exciting. it was only the score that silenced the stadium. but i warn the other teams, we will be back. the supporters will continue backing Singapore in its competitions. together, we shall make Kallang roar once again. Go LIONS Go!

it all ended with the Stadium being quiet, with its lights shining down on the over 40000 Singapore supporters, dejected.
