Omg omg omg...
Im so excited. 5 time world champs are coming to Singapore! And they are playing our national team...no less!!
Singapore soccer team is definately going places with this string of international... Previously, they had some decent games during the World Cup qualifiers. =)
The only let down would be if..
1) They play at National Stadium again..
It was suppose to be torn down 3 years ago... I cannot remember how many times they have held another 'last match' there. Its really getting irritating if they keep trying to garner ticket sales with this 'last match' tactic.
2) The prices of tickets are inflationary high..
Yesyes... Despite being World Champion 5 times over, this team that is coming to Singapore is their Olympic team. You can most prob name like 3 members of this team and would struggle to even put a face to the rest... They would provide good match practice and experience but not at the expenses of fans. I say ticket prices between $10 to $15 dollars would be ideal to get a 3/4 filled stadium.
Anymore...errrmm...be prepared to play to a limping kallang roar then.
Come to think of it...if this Brazil team is coming to Singapore becoz they need warm up and training in our hot and humid climate.. Shouldnt they pay us to host them instead of the other way around?!?!?!?
I really hope they telecast this match live on TV. hahaha...
