Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe by Email I was unable to catch the final of the SEA games between Malaysia and Vietnam. Was updated via twitter until middle of second half. Finally got the results from radio at 9pm. Malaysia’s young team (its the under-23 team) had beaten Vietnam (whom it lost to in the group match) by a single goal, an own goal in the 84th minute.
This is the most coveted gold medal and its ours after 20 years (1989 KL). Even then, it was won on our own turf, so this victory is much more meaningful. Staying true to 1Malaysia concept, I guess coach Rajagopal will be getting some Datukship, so advanced congrats to him. Or is he still considered as second class citizen as mentioned by the cows? 
He had good track record with other teams, so hopefully things will turn up better from him.
I hope this will be the beginning of a better things to come. We had too many false hopes before due to reasons like players being over-confident, coaches changed, officials and politicians interference, and so on. Hopefully it won’t be the same story this time.
