Haha one of my friends said that if Abbas does come back to coach here, my friend would consider watching the S-League full time 
Still remember the good old M'sia Cup days..When we pulled out from the M-League and formed the S-League, there was loss of interest from most of the fans who grew up watching Singapore taking on the M'sia clubs. However, now, our Singapore football team, can be considered a few standards higher than the M'sia national team, if u look at our previous showing during our WCQ matches last year

It's true that Singapore National Team are better compare to Malaysia, Indonesia or even Thai atm but I still thinks that our team from the M-League era are way better than the current crops :mrgreen:!!
Players like Fandi, Abdul Malik, the late Borhan Abu Sama and Kadir Yahya are true professional! If we have their type of players and dedication in the National Team now, goal 2010 would not be a dream! :mrgreen:
As for the thai, their team seems to be heading the wrong way after Thaksin Shinawatra pull out from managing them.

NATIONAL DAY CHALLENGE KICKS OFF WITH GRUDGE MATCH
Singapore Lions takes on China to launch new football event
In celebration of Singapore’s National Day, the Singapore National Team will play China to kick off a new annual football event – the National Day Challenge.
Continuing Singapore’s birthday celebrations, the Lions will hope to win the first ever National Day Challenge against the Chinese national team which will take place on 12 August at the National Stadium.
The National Day Challenge 2009 is the brainchild of local sports and marketing consultancy firm, The Red Card Pte Ltd which is headed by former national footballer R. Sasikumar. According to Sasikumar, there are plans in place to bring other international teams. Asian giants, Japan have already been identified for future games.
“I firmly believe that this annual Challenge will play an important role in the ongoing development of football in Singapore. The tournament, although a Friendly, allows players access to a high level of opposition which provides them with a platform for competitive player development. In addition, this Challenge represents another opportunity to reach out to dedicated football fans within the Singapore sporting community. What better way to reinforce the values that make football so appealing, than to have it coincide with Singapore’s birthday?” said Sasikumar.
The National Day Challenge has no prize money on offer, but national pride obviously is at stake for both teams. The two teams last clashed in September 2006 during the Asian Cup qualifier where both teams drew 0-0 at the National Stadium. Earlier, China narrowly beat Singapore in Tianjin with a 93rd minute penalty, despite pre-match predictions that the host country would win comfortably.
The Lions would be eager to prove that the results were no flukes where China would want to regain the respect of being one of Asia’s footballing giants, having gone from playing in the World Cup Finals in 2002 to being ranked by FIFA as the 13th best team in Asia. Currently, China is ranked 108th and Singapore 127th in the FIFA world rankings.
The match is also crucial as part of Singapore’s preparations for the upcoming Asian Cup qualifiers where they are set to play against Thailand in November.
Says Singapore National Coach Radojko Avramovic, “We’ll be facing a quality team with good individuals who will be out to prove themselves as many are new to their team. It’s up to us to analyse our last game (against Liverpool) and to look at different options in our lineup. This game will be important for us to choose our best possible team to for the matches against Thailand.”
Gracing the event will be Chinese Ambassador to Singapore Madam Zhang Xiaokang who is set to be present at the inaugural challenge at the historic National Stadium on August 12 at 7.30pm.
