Last Wednesday 31st Jan 2007, nearly 55,000 fans witnessed what seemed like the last competitive match at the Kallang National Stadium. The match was highly controversialand was marred by a walk-out by the Thai team due to a dubious penalty decision and trouble among rival fans. It is very disheartening to learn that it would be the last competitive match played there.
The great old dame which witnessed the birth of many soccer legends of singapore should be given a more grand farewell party before it's history is put to an end. I strongly believe it would be more befitting if we had a ceremonial match pitting the current national team against singapore's dream team of the past. It would be a mouth-watering contest to see Aide Iskander and his men take on Fandi Ahmad and the legends of singapore soccer. It would be a marvellous oppurtunity for the young generation of today who missed the malaysia cup era to witness the wizardry and talent of the likes of Fandi Ahmad & V.Sundramoorthy,
We must have one last match to celebrate the history of this legendary stadium which witnessed some great goals and matches. This is what singapore wants to really see before the floodlights are turned off for the last time. I hope FAS would take this oppurtunity to celebrate the legacy of past singapore soccer heroes and also showcase what we have for the future. It will also be every singapore soccer fan's dream if FAS releases a dvd showcasing all the great goals,matches and interviews by the Lions of the past and present. Singapore Soccer although not great is still unique and singaporeans have always been passionate about their Lions. I truly hope FAS take into serious consideration of organising this DREAM MATCH before we see the end of the great Kallang Stadium.
