Let us take a look once again at the sorry, sorry state of Singapore soccer. We drew 0-0 with Palestine. A team full of part-timers who do not have a proper league or proper training ground. A team who hardly plays any games together. i think i'm actually beginning to believe what Glenn Ong said on the Morning Express : I can go out on the street, put together a team and BEAT the Singapore national team.

The S-LEAGUE is probably going to scrap the penalty system to decide draws. Implemented this season, if a team were to draw, a penalty shootout would be implemented, and the team that won it would get 2 points, and the team that lost 1 point. Supposedly to improve the 'excitement' of the match. Before it was implemented, the entire of Singapore said bullshit. Everyone thought it was a bad idea, including almost all the clubs. It would make for a boring match where the lousier team plays out for a draw, and gets 2 points for winning the shootout. So true. That was exactly what kept happening, making many matches more boring.

The S-LEAGUE people should have just listened to what EVERYBODY said, instead of waiting one season before giving the EXACT SAME REASON everyone gave to why it would not work for scrapping it. Singapore Soccer is getting sadder and sadder every year.
